Note 134 — Chapter VII · DEMOCRACY AND STANDARDS (continued 2)

See Herbert B. Adams: Thomas Jefferson and the University of Virginia (1888), especially ch. IX (“The University of Virginia and Harvard College”). Cf. also letter of Jefferson to George Ticknor, 16 July, 1823. Superficially, Jefferson was friendly to classical study; his underlying philosophical tendency (of which his encyclopædic inclusiveness and encouragement of specialization are only symptoms) was unfavorable to it.
