- ^ In Thomas Jefferson's original plan the "faculty," counseled by a Board of Visitors, "governed the University." By the turn of the century, the school had grown larger and "more complex." And the Visitors saw the need——to appoint a president. When Woodrow Wilson, a University of Virginia law graduate yet to be president, declined the offer, they turned to Edwin Anderson Alderman, well known as an innovative educator in the South and a great orator across the nation. Alderman was inaugurated on Founder's Day, April 13, 1905. Within a year, Alderman had seen to the opening of a school of education at the University.
