University of Virginia.

The following facts are taken from the N. Y. Mail and Express:

Few colleges can boast a prouder record or more eminent alumni than the old University of Virginia, founded by Thomas Jefferson, a fact which he thought worthy to be chronicled, in writing his own epitaph, beside the immortal fact of his having been the author of the Declaration of Independence. The fact that he was twice President of the United States Jefferson thought less worthy of record. Although prostrated by the war, the university has since that time received over $700,000 in legacies and gifts, exclusive of its fixed endowments. It has no President but its affairs are administered by the chairman of the faculty, who is selected each year, from among the professors by the Board of Visitors.
