nged to a university, and schools of modern lan-guages, municipal law—^the first of their kind in America—were introduced. It was during this period, too, that a general lecture systemwas introduced, as well as free election among the courses.From this time until 1817 the college enjoyed a season of pros-perity, but about the latter date it suffered somewhat from thetransference of Jeffersons patronage to his projected universityat Charlottesville. Under President Dew and a remarkably able faculty, theattendance was increased to one hundred and forty in 1839, alarger number than had hitherto attended the college.

After the war, the college opened in 1&Q9 with Colonel Ben-jamin Ewell, president, but for financial reasons it was forced toclose in 1881, until 1888; when with the assistance of the State,it was reorganized and reopened with Dr. Lyon G. Tyler, presi-dent. A period of new life and usefulness was begun and hascontinued until now, so that the college was never in a moreprosperous state. In 1906 the college became strictly a Stateinstitution and is operated by a board appointed by the Gov-ernor of Virginia. ^The seat of literature at Williamsburg has ever in my viewbeen an object of veneration.—Geo. Washington.
