<strong>2010</strong><br />
from the chairman<br />
and president<br />
A t this time last year the <strong>Jefferson</strong><br />
<strong>Scholars</strong> <strong>Foundation</strong> had just completed the<br />
most challenging year in its history. The<br />
turmoil in the financial markets had produced<br />
a 21% investment loss for the<br />
G. Moffett Cochran James H. Wright<br />
endowment. This situation necessitated important but rather dramatic<br />
cutbacks in the number of scholarships and fellowships offered by the<br />
<strong>Foundation</strong>.<br />
What a difference a year makes! In <strong>2010</strong>, the endowment generated a<br />
solid 15.1% return. Development activity produced an additional 10.3<br />
million dollars in cash flow. The positive portfolio performance allowed<br />
us to return to our usual pattern of increasing the number of scholarship<br />
recipients in the entering class. We are delighted that the Class of 2014 is<br />
10% larger than the Class of 2013.<br />
The past fiscal year was also one of significant change. Most noteworthy is the successful<br />
completion of the <strong>Jefferson</strong> Fellows Center and the <strong>Foundation</strong>’s administrative offices. The<br />
32,700 square-foot facility became fully operational just in time for the arrival of the 101<br />
finalists in this year’s undergraduate scholarship competition. The building, which features<br />
38 geothermal wells for ground-source heat pumps, roofs designed to harvest rainwater for<br />
irrigation, and high-performance windows to maximize daylight, is on the cutting edge<br />
of environmentally sustainable design. It provides <strong>Jefferson</strong> Fellows with ample space for<br />
teaching and research and permits the <strong>Foundation</strong> to sponsor a variety of activities for the<br />
University community that only could be imagined before.<br />
The <strong>Foundation</strong> also undertook a significant review of its governance structure. Working<br />
closely with the U.Va. Alumni Association, which created the <strong>Jefferson</strong> <strong>Scholars</strong>hip Program<br />
three decades ago, the <strong>Foundation</strong>’s Board of Directors identified several areas, including
jefferson scholars foundation <strong>2010</strong><br />
accounting responsibility, audit engagement procedures,<br />
investment responsibility, and the manner in which the<br />
<strong>Foundation</strong>’s Chairman is appointed, that will require revisions<br />
to the <strong>Foundation</strong>’s governance documents. The <strong>Foundation</strong><br />
and the Alumni Association approved a Memorandum of<br />
Understanding that when implemented will produce changes<br />
that will reflect best governance practices and will help assure the<br />
<strong>Foundation</strong>’s continued growth.<br />
In his role as chairman of the Board, Rick Kellogg played a critical role in both the<br />
completion of the building and the improvements in the governance structure. On April<br />
16, <strong>2010</strong>, the Board of Directors approved a resolution expressing gratitude to Mr. Kellogg<br />
for his remarkable leadership. Moffett Cochran assumed the role of chairman from him and<br />
Mark Pirrung was elected vice chairman at the same time.<br />
At its core the <strong>Foundation</strong> remains focused on its mission of attracting some of the<br />
world’s most talented leaders and scholars to the University. Both the undergraduate<br />
and graduate selection processes again produced outstanding results. The undergraduate<br />
competition was especially rigorous. We received a record 1,226 nominations, due primarily<br />
to the addition of three new selection regions (Rhode Island, Mississippi, and the United<br />
Kingdom) and the decision to accept two nominations from those participating schools<br />
that felt they had two worthy candidates. The 101 finalists, who hailed from all over the<br />
world, congregated in Charlottesville on the weekend of March 26-28. As a result of these<br />
deliberations, 27 remarkably talented individuals from 13 states and 3 foreign countries will<br />
compose our 30th entering undergraduate class.<br />
our new building<br />
provides jefferson<br />
fellows with ample<br />
space for teaching and<br />
research and permits<br />
the foundation to<br />
sponsor a variety of<br />
activities for the<br />
university community<br />
that only could be<br />
imagined before.<br />
Fifty-six finalists in our graduate competition (another new record) from 21 different<br />
departments of the Graduate School of Arts & Sciences, the Darden School, and the Law<br />
School spent the weekend of February 18-20 in Charlottesville. The entering class will<br />
include five recipients from the College and one from the Darden School. For the first<br />
time the <strong>Foundation</strong> conducted a dissertation year fellowship competition to identify a<br />
current Ph.D. candidate in the College whose academic record is exceptional and who<br />
has demonstrated an unusual eagerness to share knowledge with a broad audience. We are<br />
pleased that the <strong>Foundation</strong>’s first recipient of the Dissertation Year Fellowship will join our<br />
community of <strong>Scholars</strong> and Fellows for the <strong>2010</strong>-11 year.
leadership<br />
The record of achievement written by the enrolled <strong>Scholars</strong> and Fellows continues to<br />
make us proud. The <strong>2010</strong> graduating class included 15 members selected to live on the<br />
Lawn, the chair and a vice chair of the Honor Committee, the student representative<br />
to the Board of Visitors, the recipient of the Ernest H. Ern Outstanding Student award,<br />
the president of the Student Council, the president of the Inter-Fraternity Council, the<br />
Algernon Sydney Sullivan Award recipient, and the president of the Class of <strong>2010</strong>. Among<br />
WHEREAS, in accepting chairmanship of the <strong>Jefferson</strong> <strong>Scholars</strong> <strong>Foundation</strong> Richard<br />
C. Kellogg Jr. set out to achieve dual objectives of improving the <strong>Foundation</strong>’s governance<br />
and building the <strong>Foundation</strong>’s new home, and<br />
WHEREAS, under Rick’s untiring leadership the <strong>Foundation</strong> has effected an<br />
agreement with the Alumni Association which will greatly improve the <strong>Foundation</strong>’s<br />
governance, and<br />
WHEREAS, as a direct result of Rick’s vision, perseverance, and commitment the<br />
<strong>Foundation</strong> has successfully financed and built the <strong>Foundation</strong>’s new home and center<br />
for its graduate fellows, and<br />
WHEREAS, his vision for the <strong>Jefferson</strong> Fellows Center inspired the creation of a<br />
physical space that will foster academic excellence and interdisciplinary conversation of<br />
the highest order, and<br />
WHEREAS, he has always and consistently led the <strong>Foundation</strong> with exceptional grace,<br />
humility, and wisdom, and<br />
WHEREAS, he has always and consistently placed the interests of the <strong>Jefferson</strong><br />
<strong>Scholars</strong> <strong>Foundation</strong> ahead of any competing forces or other distractions, and<br />
WHEREAS, and foremost, he personally represents the highest ideals of leadership,<br />
scholarship, and citizenship, now therefore the Board of Directors of the <strong>Jefferson</strong><br />
<strong>Scholars</strong> <strong>Foundation</strong> hereby extends to Richard C. Kellogg Jr. its enduring gratitude and<br />
admiration for a job exceedingly well done.
jefferson scholars foundation <strong>2010</strong><br />
the post-graduate honors received by the Class of <strong>2010</strong> were a Luce <strong>Scholars</strong>hip, a Gates<br />
Cambridge <strong>Scholars</strong>hip, and a Coro Fellowship. The cumulative GPA for the class was 3.78.<br />
The <strong>Scholars</strong> and Fellows returning to the Grounds are well positioned to continue the<br />
legacy of achievement to which they are rightful heirs. Seven members of the Fourth-Year<br />
Class will live on the Lawn. A chair of the Resident Staff Program, two members of the<br />
Honor Committee, and the chair for the representative body for the Student Council are<br />
all <strong>Jefferson</strong> <strong>Scholars</strong>. A <strong>Jefferson</strong> Fellow will serve as president of the Raven Society, and<br />
another received a prestigious three-year pre-doctoral fellowship from the National Science<br />
<strong>Foundation</strong>.<br />
Another noteworthy event occurred during Final Exercises when the first recipients of the<br />
Hartfield-<strong>Jefferson</strong> <strong>Scholars</strong> Teaching Prize were announced. Made possible by a $1 million<br />
gift from an anonymous benefactor, the Teaching Prize recognizes and rewards faculty<br />
members at the School of Engineering and Applied Science who have compiled a record<br />
of outstanding undergraduate teaching. The first recipients each received a cash prize of<br />
$12,500.<br />
This year also saw the <strong>Foundation</strong> lose two men who meant a great deal to us. Frank<br />
Batten Sr. was among the <strong>Foundation</strong>’s earliest benefactors, providing a named scholarship<br />
at a critical time in our existence. His interest in our work continued vicariously through his<br />
daughter Dorothy’s service on the Board of Directors. Norman Graebner’s death also left a<br />
void. Professor Graebner was a devoted friend and advocate in the latter years of his life and<br />
is the only recipient of the <strong>Jefferson</strong> <strong>Scholars</strong> <strong>Foundation</strong> Award for Excellence, granted to<br />
him in the fall of 2006.<br />
As the <strong>Foundation</strong> celebrates its 30th year, its future is exceedingly bright. The new<br />
building will host several exciting events in the coming year, including the second Forum<br />
for Interdisciplinary Dialogue and the second reunion of all <strong>Jefferson</strong> Scholar alumni.<br />
The <strong>Jefferson</strong> Fellows Center will host teaching assistant sections led by <strong>Jefferson</strong> Fellows,<br />
seminars led by University faculty, and lectures by invited scholars who will stimulate<br />
intellectual discourse for the entire University community. The selection competition in<br />
both the undergraduate and graduate programs will continue to attract to the Grounds<br />
remarkably talented students who otherwise would not come to the University.<br />
None of this could occur without the selfless service provided by hundreds of<br />
volunteers who serve on our selection committees, on the National Advisory Board, on the<br />
10
leadership<br />
Campaign Committee, and our Board of Directors. We thank all who have helped<br />
the <strong>Foundation</strong> reach this milestone in its history, and we invite others to join the<br />
exciting intellectual community that will continue to bring further distinction to the<br />
<strong>Foundation</strong> and to the University.<br />

In the early days of the American Revolution,<br />
Virginia’s governor, Thomas <strong>Jefferson</strong>, presented to the<br />
House of Delegates a remarkable document, A Bill for the<br />
More General Diffusion of Knowledge. With the outcome<br />
of the war far from certain and the future of our fledgling<br />
republic in doubt, <strong>Jefferson</strong> nonetheless proceeded as if<br />
ultimately the<br />
purpose of the<br />
jefferson scholars<br />
foundation is to<br />
strengthen our<br />
democracy by<br />
preparing those with<br />
“genius and virtue”<br />
to lead wisely and<br />
act decisively for<br />
the public good.<br />
victory were certain, focusing on measures necessary to prevent democracy<br />
from being “perverted... into tyranny.” The foremost of these was a system<br />
of public education.<br />
In this legislation, <strong>Jefferson</strong> proposed a from every other organization that distributes<br />
graduated system of public schools designed merit-based scholarships to worthy young<br />
to ensure that “those persons, whom nature university students.<br />
hath endowed with genius and virtue, should The <strong>Foundation</strong>’s goal is to ensure that<br />
be rendered by liberal education worthy to the University community benefits from the<br />
receive, and able to guard the sacred deposit presence of these exceptional individuals,<br />
of the rights and liberties of their fellow individuals who, as stated in the <strong>Foundation</strong>’s<br />
citizens.” And he insisted that “they should mission, are “of extraordinary intellectual<br />
range and depth [and] who possess the<br />
be called to that charge without regard to<br />
wealth, birth or other accidental condition or highest concomitant qualities of leadership,<br />
circumstance...and educated at the common scholarship, and citizenship.” The <strong>Jefferson</strong><br />
<strong>Scholars</strong> <strong>Foundation</strong> takes seriously its<br />
expense.”<br />
This vision of education is at the heart of responsibility to ensure that the nation’s most<br />
the <strong>Jefferson</strong> <strong>Scholars</strong> Program and the <strong>Jefferson</strong><br />
Fellows Program, and distinguishes the have the opportunity to take advantage of all<br />
deserving students, regardless of background,<br />
work of the <strong>Jefferson</strong> <strong>Scholars</strong> <strong>Foundation</strong> the University has to offer.<br />

Ultimately, however, the purpose of the<br />
<strong>Jefferson</strong> <strong>Scholars</strong> <strong>Foundation</strong> is to strengthen<br />
our democracy by preparing those with<br />
the “genius and virtue” to lead wisely and<br />
act decisively for the public good. Since the<br />
fall of 1981, when the first class of twelve<br />
<strong>Jefferson</strong> <strong>Scholars</strong> matriculated, 702 undergraduates<br />
and 72 graduate students have<br />
entered the program. They have gone on to<br />
earn Rhodes, Marshall, Mitchell, Truman,<br />
Fulbright, Udall, Goldwater, and Gates<br />
Cambridge scholarships and to serve on the<br />
Board of Visitors of the University. Threequarters<br />
have pursued advanced degrees<br />
Ben Wallace (the C.D.L. and M.T.B. Perkins Scholar, Class of 2012),<br />
Anya Havrilak (the Molly Hereford - Susanne Smith Scholar, Class<br />
of 2013), and Greg Siegel (the Valentine Family Scholar, Class of<br />
2011) pose after their third place ranking at the Mock Trial National<br />
Competition in Memphis.<br />
and virtually all have gone on to the work<br />
that <strong>Jefferson</strong> envisioned for them: leading<br />
charitable organizations and congregations,<br />
establishing health clinics in rural areas, creating<br />
innovative businesses, and teaching at our<br />
most prestigious academic institutions.<br />
identifying exemplars of<br />
leadership, scholarship,<br />
and citizenship<br />
Without exception, the students who compete<br />
to be <strong>Jefferson</strong> <strong>Scholars</strong> or Fellows are at<br />
the head of their class. The <strong>Foundation</strong>’s challenge<br />
is finding just those outstanding few<br />
who represent the best hope for the future.<br />
Thanks to the generosity of the University<br />
alumni and friends, the annual competition<br />
is able to cast a wider net with each passing<br />
year. More than 50 regions around the country,<br />
with more than 3,500 high schools, can<br />
now nominate <strong>Scholars</strong>.<br />
Selecting each class of <strong>Scholars</strong> involves<br />
untold hours of concentrated effort on the<br />
part of thousands of high school principals<br />
and guidance counselors, the 750 alumni,<br />
faculty, and friends who serve on regional<br />
and national selection committees, and the<br />
<strong>Foundation</strong> staff.<br />
In 2009-10, the <strong>Foundation</strong> received 1,226<br />
nominations from participating secondary<br />
schools. After regional reviews and additional<br />
analysis of possible candidates from schools<br />

not geographically eligible to nominate, as<br />
well as international students and qualified<br />
applicants to the University’s Engineering,<br />
Architecture, and Nursing schools, 101 finalists<br />
were brought to Charlottesville for an<br />
introduction to the University and a series<br />
of exercises and interviews. Of these, 27 new<br />
<strong>Jefferson</strong> <strong>Scholars</strong> will make up the Class of<br />
2014.<br />
Candidates for <strong>Jefferson</strong> Fellows undergo<br />
a slightly different selection process. The<br />
Graduate School of Arts & Sciences, the<br />
Darden School of Business, the School of<br />
Law, and the School of Engineering and<br />
Applied Science all nominate their most outstanding<br />
applicants. The <strong>Jefferson</strong> <strong>Scholars</strong><br />
<strong>Foundation</strong> then invites selected candidates<br />
to Charlottesville to meet with prospective<br />
faculty mentors and University graduate<br />
students. Because special consideration is<br />
given to students who show an eagerness to<br />
share important ideas with a wide audience,<br />
many are asked to give a presentation or participate<br />
in a group exercise.<br />
In 2009-10, 56 candidates accepted invitations<br />
to compete and 6 will enroll in the<br />
University as <strong>Jefferson</strong> Fellows.<br />

the foundation<br />
“I chose to accept the <strong>Scholars</strong>hip for a variety of reasons: the sheer breadth of<br />
opportunity that the <strong>Scholars</strong>hip provides, particularly with the summer<br />
programmes; the possibility of a long-term mutual relationship between myself<br />
and the <strong>Foundation</strong>; the strong network of alumni; the opportunity of a first-rate<br />
education in America that may not have otherwise been possible; the strength of<br />
the relationships that I witnessed amongst the current <strong>Scholars</strong>.”<br />
Colette Elizabeth Martin, the Adolphus W. Hawkins Jr. Scholar, Class of 2014<br />
and service is more critical than ever and the<br />
funding it provides is substantial. In 2009-10,<br />
the <strong>Foundation</strong> supported 122 undergraduate<br />
<strong>Jefferson</strong> <strong>Scholars</strong> and 36 graduate<br />
<strong>Jefferson</strong> Fellows at a direct cost of $5.8<br />
million. Four-year support of a single out-ofstate<br />
<strong>Jefferson</strong> Scholar and five-year support<br />
of a <strong>Jefferson</strong> Fellow are now $180,000 and<br />
$250,000, respectively.<br />
While the funding they receive undoubtedly<br />
plays a large role in the decision of the<br />
<strong>Scholars</strong> and Fellows to attend the University,<br />
it is by no means the sole determinant. The<br />
University has a well-established educational<br />
culture defined by four core values: academic<br />
rigor, honor, student self-governance, and<br />
public service. The role of the <strong>Foundation</strong><br />
is to convey the advantages of attending a<br />
university with this distinctive set of values<br />
and then make it possible for exceptional<br />
students who find this vision compelling to<br />
join the University community.<br />
nurturing our next<br />
generation of leaders<br />
The <strong>Foundation</strong>’s obligation to its <strong>Scholars</strong><br />
and Fellows goes far beyond financial<br />
support. Over the years, the <strong>Foundation</strong><br />
has established a series of programs that<br />
enhance their leadership skills and deepen<br />
their understanding of the requirements of<br />
responsible citizenship.<br />
In their first semester, the newest <strong>Scholars</strong><br />
take part in a Challenge Discovery<br />
weekend, which launches their careers at the<br />
University by giving them the opportunity<br />
to learn more about themselves and each<br />
other. The two-week Institute for Leadership<br />
and Citizenship, a program for the<br />
rising second-year class each summer, promotes<br />
a deeper understanding of these topics<br />
through study and service learning. The<br />
following summer, <strong>Scholars</strong> choose from<br />
among three three-week Foreign Travel/<br />
Study Programs and then pursue a research<br />
project that requires additional travel. In the<br />
summer preceding their fourth year, <strong>Scholars</strong><br />
may choose to pursue an internship with<br />
a <strong>Jefferson</strong> Scholar alumnus/a, funded by<br />
the <strong>Foundation</strong>. In addition, the <strong>Foundation</strong><br />
offers a series of seminars, dinners, and<br />
other events designed to bring <strong>Scholars</strong> and<br />
Fellows together regularly during their stay<br />
at the University.<br />
2
jefferson scholars foundation <strong>2010</strong><br />
Although the Fellows are older and have<br />
mapped out an individual course of study,<br />
the <strong>Foundation</strong> nonetheless strives to foster<br />
their engagement with the University community.<br />
During the annual selection weekend,<br />
each second-year Fellow presents his or<br />
her research, an experience intended to give<br />
Fellows the opportunity to render original<br />
work for critical feedback in a public setting.<br />
Fellows also engage in a team-building<br />
exercise at the start of the year, host monthly<br />
meetings, and work throughout the year on<br />
a major interdisciplinary conference that is<br />
hosted by the <strong>Foundation</strong>.<br />
a private partnership in<br />
the public interest<br />
Since its inception, public-private partnerships<br />
have provided the University with its<br />
margin of excellence and ensured that it<br />
continues to foster the “informed citizenry”<br />
that <strong>Jefferson</strong> considered “the bulwark<br />
of democracy.” The <strong>Jefferson</strong> <strong>Scholars</strong><br />
<strong>Foundation</strong> is an excellent example of this<br />
partnership. Thanks to the foresight and<br />
commitment of generous benefactors, the<br />
<strong>Foundation</strong> has steadily enhanced its undergraduate<br />
program and launched a flourishing<br />
fellowship program. Their contributions<br />
were instrumental in creating a new home<br />
for the <strong>Foundation</strong>, a complex of three<br />

buildings that reinterprets <strong>Jefferson</strong>’s architectural<br />
principles for the twenty-first century. In<br />
addition to housing the <strong>Foundation</strong>’s offices,<br />
this 32,700 square-foot facility provides <strong>Jefferson</strong><br />
Fellows with ample space for teaching<br />
and research and permits the <strong>Foundation</strong> to<br />
sponsor a variety of activities for the University<br />
community that only could be imagined<br />
before.<br />
As the <strong>Foundation</strong> enters its 30th year of<br />
service, <strong>Jefferson</strong> Scholar and Fellow alumni<br />
are strengthening our democracy by applying<br />
not only their talents but also the lessons of<br />
leadership and citizenship they gained while at<br />
the University, to the benefit of the nation and<br />
the world. Our current and future <strong>Scholars</strong><br />
and Fellows will be well prepared to join them<br />
in their turn.<br />

community now.”<br />

Rick Kellogg (left) and Jimmy Wright officially open the new <strong>Jefferson</strong> <strong>Scholars</strong><br />
<strong>Foundation</strong> buildings.<br />
Over five years ago, the leaders of the <strong>Jefferson</strong> <strong>Scholars</strong><br />
<strong>Foundation</strong> realized that if it were to succeed in attracting the most qualified<br />
Ph.D. students to the University, it must create an intellectual community that<br />
fostered interdisciplinary research and dialogue. One way to strengthen this<br />
community was to build it around a <strong>Jefferson</strong> Fellows Center.<br />
The <strong>Foundation</strong> immediately began to<br />
search for a suitable site. After exploring<br />
the possibility of locating the center next<br />
to Alumni Hall, the <strong>Foundation</strong> purchased<br />
property on the corner of Maury Avenue and<br />
Clarke Court, near the Carl Smith Center<br />
and Scott Stadium. The property had been<br />
home to a series of fraternities over the last<br />
half-century, most recently Beta Theta Pi.<br />
The house, designed by local Charlottesville<br />
architect Eugene Bradberry, had been vacant<br />
for three years and had suffered extensive<br />
structural damage and neglect.<br />
The <strong>Foundation</strong> engaged VMDO, an<br />
award-winning local architecture firm, to<br />
design the center. After extensive analysis,<br />
VMDO and the <strong>Foundation</strong> determined<br />
that the existing structure would not meet<br />
the needs of the <strong>Foundation</strong> and determined<br />
“Every detail of this building was being<br />
tailored to our needs as students. We<br />
were frequently asked how we plan to<br />
use the space and how our academic<br />
and social needs could be met there.”<br />

center design principles<br />
FIRST<br />
Conceive the site as an ordered set of parts, each distinct while also part of the larger whole;<br />
such that their disposition is controlled by a clear geometric scheme and a rigorous use of<br />
proportion.<br />
SECOND<br />
Focus on the integration of building and site into one seamless, carefully considered experience.<br />
The project should have landscape at its center, with structures openly attending to this<br />
space while creating dynamic outdoor rooms.<br />
THIRD<br />
The arrangement of structures should be emblematic of the institution and its mission, and<br />
thereby embody reciprocity between the architecture and the culture of the place.<br />
FOURTH<br />
Develop the entire project as a critical extension of the Humanist tradition, with a particular<br />
eye toward innovation and invention using familiar elements in useful new ways.<br />
FIFTH<br />
Explore the poetics of ingenious solutions to pragmatic issues, including imaginative reactions<br />
to regional climate, environmental comfort, conservation of resources, and special components<br />
of the program.<br />
determine the elements necessary to attain<br />
the <strong>Foundation</strong>’s goals. The <strong>Foundation</strong><br />
wanted a structure that would be sustainable<br />
and true to the architectural principles that<br />
guided Thomas <strong>Jefferson</strong> in his design for<br />
the University.<br />
Once the architectural planning was<br />
underway, the <strong>Foundation</strong> concentrated<br />
on financing. Because it could more easily<br />
secure funds for programming than for<br />
bricks and mortar, the <strong>Foundation</strong> decided<br />
to rely on the capital markets to finance the<br />
construction. Working with SunTrust and<br />
the Industrial Development Authority of<br />
Albemarle County, the <strong>Foundation</strong> assumed<br />
responsibility for an $18 million bond that<br />
effectively provides for a 30-year term with<br />
an interest rate of approximately 4 percent.<br />
With financing secured and architectural<br />
plans finalized, the <strong>Foundation</strong> engaged<br />

employed Mike Matthews of Matthews<br />
Development as owner’s representative. A<br />
building permit was received on October 23,<br />

thereafter. Thirteen months later the staff of<br />
the <strong>Foundation</strong> moved in, and on March 15,<br />

of occupancy for the entire complex just<br />

compel the highly recruited students the University seeks — students who might<br />
otherwise choose Cambridge, Oxford, New Haven, New York or Palo Alto over<br />

Program. The 30th annual selection cycle was our most competitive.<br />
Nearly 3,500 secondary schools in 56 regions were invited to nominate candidates,<br />
including our three new regions: Mississippi, Rhode Island, and the<br />
United Kingdom. One hundred and one finalists were identified, and 27 new<br />
scholars will come to the University of Virginia as members of the Class of<br />
2014. They will join the 90 <strong>Scholars</strong> in residence who already contribute to life<br />
and culture at the University of Virginia.<br />

program<br />
The idea grew out of a strategic planning discussion aimed at broadening<br />
the overall reach of the <strong>Jefferson</strong> Fellowship: Let’s build a facility where<br />
graduate Fellows from across the Grounds, representing nearly every discipline,<br />
can assemble, talk, listen, study, and teach. Their cross-disciplinary<br />
interaction, on a daily basis, will fuel discussion and not only strengthen the<br />
University’s graduate student life but enrich the entire University community.<br />
Over the course of the last five years, land<br />
purchases led to countless design meetings<br />
that included current <strong>Jefferson</strong> Fellows<br />
and alumni. Design ideas were translated<br />
into architectural renderings and construction<br />
plans. Geothermal wells were dug, a<br />
sophisticated rainwater harvesting system<br />
was developed, and a green building was<br />
christened in April <strong>2010</strong> with one goal in<br />
mind: to further the <strong>Foundation</strong>’s ability<br />
to identify, attract, and recruit outstanding<br />
Ph.D., M.B.A., and J.D. candidates to the<br />
University of Virginia.<br />
The move to the building was easily the<br />
highlight of the 2009-10 academic year.<br />
Comments from Fellows — whether first<br />
year or fifth year — were virtually identical,<br />
and they followed their words with actions.<br />
Fellows admired the quality and design of<br />
the communal space, teaching facilities, offices,<br />
and quiet areas and flocked to the new<br />
facility as soon as the doors opened. They<br />
moved computers, books, and equipment to<br />
their offices, began meeting frequently, sharing<br />
ideas, and welcoming visitors to their<br />
new academic home. They immediately began<br />
putting the building to its intended use.<br />
“I had been dreading trying to find a<br />
place to run my research studies,<br />
propose my dissertation, or teach<br />
independent classes. Now, I have<br />
access to a beautiful dynamic space<br />
to do all these things and more!”<br />

and for the <strong>Foundation</strong> as a whole. The<br />
new building gives the <strong>Foundation</strong> the means<br />

I n response to uncertainty about the pace of financial recovery,<br />
the development office devoted fiscal year <strong>2010</strong> to strengthening old<br />
and building new relationships. We are pleased to report that this year the<br />
development team, along with the program directors and the president of<br />
the <strong>Foundation</strong>, met with well over 1,000 alumni, friends, and parents of the<br />
University, just as we have done in the past. It is through these relationships,<br />
some nearly thirty years old, that the <strong>Foundation</strong> can report an increase in<br />
philanthropic cash flow for the fiscal year of $10.4 million.<br />
Relationships are the cornerstone of any<br />
vital institution. This past year, the <strong>Foundation</strong>’s<br />
donors have created <strong>Jefferson</strong> <strong>Scholars</strong>hips<br />
in recognition of leaders, scholars, and<br />
citizens whom they hold in high esteem.<br />
Eli Tullis, Paul Tudor Jones, and Lee and<br />
Elizabeth Ainslie created a challenge grant<br />
to fund a <strong>Jefferson</strong> <strong>Scholars</strong>hip in honor<br />
of John and Betsy Casteen, to recognize<br />
their dedicated leadership and service to<br />
the University of Virginia. This challenge<br />
raised $1 million in funds to endow the John<br />
and Betsy Casteen <strong>Jefferson</strong> <strong>Scholars</strong>hip. In<br />
addition, friends and colleagues of former<br />
University of Virginia Athletic Director Jim<br />
Rachael Beaton (back right), the C. Mark Pirrung Family Fellow<br />
(Astronomy), leads a group of undergraduate and graduate students at<br />
the Large Binocular Telescope on Mt. Graham in Arizona.<br />
Copeland established a <strong>Jefferson</strong> <strong>Scholars</strong>hip<br />
to recognize Jim’s leadership in the classroom<br />
and on the athletics field, not only at<br />
the University of Virginia but also with the<br />
Cleveland Browns, where Jim played professional<br />
football, and at Southern Methodist<br />
University, where Jim held his last position<br />
as athletic director. Lastly, Beverly Mignerey<br />
endowed a <strong>Jefferson</strong> <strong>Scholars</strong>hip in honor of<br />
her good friend Susan Shinn and her family.<br />
Their friendship began at the University of<br />
Colorado, and this scholarship will mark the<br />
opening of a new selection region that will<br />
attract Colorado’s most outstanding students<br />
to the University of Virginia this fall.<br />
Donors also celebrated these lifelong<br />
relationships through their contributions to<br />

the <strong>Foundation</strong>’s new building. In 2009-10,<br />
Lucien Burnett, Jr., was remembered by his<br />
son, Lucien Burnett III, when the <strong>Foundation</strong><br />
named its conference room in his memory.<br />
John and Wendy Havens chose to name<br />
the courtyard, the heart of the <strong>Foundation</strong><br />
and <strong>Jefferson</strong> Fellows Center, for their good<br />
friend A. Macdonald (Mac) Caputo. The<br />
<strong>Foundation</strong> is proud that donors see in its<br />
work an appropirate vehicle to honor and<br />
remember those they hold dear.<br />
Now that the financial markets have<br />
regained their equilibrium, the <strong>Jefferson</strong><br />
<strong>Scholars</strong> Campaign to raise $100 million<br />
have regained its momentum. The <strong>Foundation</strong><br />
has received over $83.1 million in gifts<br />
and pledges so far. Of this, $54 million has<br />
been raised for <strong>Jefferson</strong> <strong>Scholars</strong> Pro-<br />
gram and $29 million for <strong>Jefferson</strong> Fellows<br />
Program. This campaign has materially<br />
strengthened the <strong>Foundation</strong>. Thanks to the<br />
generosity of its supporters, the <strong>Foundation</strong><br />
has expanded its regional coverage from 44<br />
to 57 regions in the United States and the<br />
United Kingdom and from eight <strong>Jefferson</strong><br />
Fellows in five disciplines to 36 Fellows in 17<br />
disciplines.<br />
The <strong>Jefferson</strong> <strong>Scholars</strong> <strong>Foundation</strong> has<br />
been fortunate throughout the years to have<br />
attracted thousands of individuals who have<br />
taken its mission to heart and who have<br />
joined with us to ensure that we prepare our<br />
very best students for a life of leadership and<br />
service. The generosity of our many friends<br />
and alumni is and will always be a critical<br />
part of this effort.<br />

This past year, the <strong>Foundation</strong><br />
and viewed the Program<br />
was fortunate to be involved<br />
as a “central driver of<br />
in recognizing two of the<br />
change and excellence<br />
University’s favorite sons,<br />
in the University.”<br />
John Casteen and Jim<br />
In addition, friends<br />
Copeland.<br />
and former colleagues of<br />
Longtime benefactor and<br />
Jim Copeland have<br />
former <strong>Foundation</strong> board<br />
recognized his service to<br />
member Eli Tullis announced<br />
the University by<br />
a challenge gift created by Eli,<br />
funding the W. James<br />
Paul Tudor Jones, and Lee and<br />
Copeland Jr. <strong>Jefferson</strong><br />
Elizabeth Ainslie. This gift Betsy and John Casteen.<br />
<strong>Scholars</strong>hip. Jim (Col ’67)<br />
recognized John and Betsy<br />
was a leader in the<br />
Casteen for their service to the University classroom and on the gridiron, and he was<br />
community and the <strong>Foundation</strong>. Mr.<br />
the embodiment of <strong>Jefferson</strong>’s ideals for<br />
Casteen was instrumental in the creation students and graduates of the University of<br />
of the <strong>Jefferson</strong> <strong>Scholars</strong> Program in 1979 Virginia. “Jim’s life work as a leader in<br />
intercollegiate athletics, as an<br />
upstanding citizen subscribing to the<br />
highest of ideals, and as a true friend<br />
to so many throughout the years,<br />
never losing sight of the true gifts of<br />
friendship, kindness, and good<br />
heartedness, makes creating a<br />
<strong>Jefferson</strong> <strong>Scholars</strong>hip in his name a<br />
well-deserved honor,” states Allison<br />
Cryor DiNardo. This scholarship will be<br />
held by a Scholar who was a high<br />
school varsity athlete who is a leader,<br />
scholar, and citizen.<br />

the shinn- mignerey scholarship<br />
The Shinn Family holds a special place for<br />
Beverly Mignerey. At the University of<br />
Colorado, Beverly and her roommate,<br />
Susan Shinn, were best friends. After<br />
Susan’s tragic passing within a year of<br />
graduation, Beverly became like an adopted<br />
daughter to Susan’s parents, Jeanne<br />
and Charles. Beverly went on to marry<br />
Arthur Mignerey and have two children.<br />
When the Mignereys’ first child was born,<br />
a daughter, the Shinns were understandably<br />
moved when Art and Beverly named<br />
Charles and Jeanne Shinn, circa 1985.<br />
her Susan.<br />
The Mignereys’ son, Carey, went on to become a <strong>Jefferson</strong> Scholar from Atlanta in 2000.<br />
With the Shinns’ passing, the Mignerey family saw an opportunity to honor their dear friends<br />
as well as repay the debt of gratitude the Mignereys felt to the <strong>Foundation</strong> that so generously<br />
provided for their son’s education at the University. Realizing that the <strong>Foundation</strong> did<br />
not have a <strong>Jefferson</strong> <strong>Scholars</strong>hip designated for the Shinns’ home state of Colorado, the<br />
Mignereys established the Shinn-Mignerey <strong>Jefferson</strong> <strong>Scholars</strong>hip to give tribute to their<br />
friends. Charles Shinn was a decorated World War ll pilot, receiving the prestigious Air Medal<br />
for flying ten additional missions for a total of thirty-five. Jeanne and Charles were lifelong<br />
learners, avid world travelers, and had a real zest for life. Now in its seminal year, this new<br />
<strong>Jefferson</strong> <strong>Scholars</strong>hip will attract students from Colorado worthy to hold the title of the<br />
Shinn-Mignerey Scholar.<br />

finance<br />
During fiscal year <strong>2010</strong>, the <strong>Jefferson</strong> <strong>Scholars</strong> <strong>Foundation</strong><br />
made substantial progress in recovering from the effects of the 2008 financial<br />
crisis, as it moved to a position of greater financial strength and stability. The<br />
<strong>Foundation</strong>’s financial results were positively impacted by strong endowment<br />
performance, substantial philanthropic support, reduced expenditures, and<br />
other steps taken to improve the <strong>Foundation</strong>’s financial resiliency.<br />
endowment return<br />
Through May 31, <strong>2010</strong>, the fiscal year to-date<br />
endowment return was 15.1%. This growth<br />
has enabled the <strong>Foundation</strong> to rebuild fund<br />
balances severely impacted by the negative<br />
21% return of fiscal year 2009. Endowment<br />
performance coupled with new gifts and<br />
pledges has increased the total endowment<br />
balance from the approximately $202 million<br />
reported last year to over $212 million. While<br />
the endowment results have been strong, it<br />
will require continued positive results, additional<br />
gifts and pledges, and time for the<br />
<strong>Foundation</strong> endowment to exceed the $246<br />
million balance we were pleased to report<br />
several years ago.<br />
The <strong>Foundation</strong>’s long-term strategy<br />
has been to invest gifts and use investment<br />
income to support its operational expenses.<br />
Endowment growth is critical for maintaining<br />
spending power and providing resources<br />
to sustain and expand our core scholarship<br />
and fellowship programs. Today, direct<br />
scholarship and fellowship stipends comprise<br />
53% of the <strong>Foundation</strong>’s budget. To<br />
meet increases in the University of Virginia<br />
tuition and living costs, the <strong>Foundation</strong>’s<br />
in-state undergraduate stipends grew at<br />
an annual rate of 6.7% between fiscal<br />
years 2006 and 2011 while the out-of-state<br />
stipends increased by a 6.3% rate during the<br />
same time. Given the Commonwealth of<br />
Virginia’s financial situation and the expected<br />
continued decline in state support to the<br />
University, it is certainly possible the rate of<br />
stipend growth could continue at this pace.<br />

jefferson scholars foundation <strong>2010</strong><br />
0perational budget<br />
The <strong>Foundation</strong> has proposed an $11.3<br />
million operating budget for fiscal year<br />
2011. This budget reflects an 8% increase of<br />
$813,000 over the prior year, an increase required<br />
for a full year of the <strong>Jefferson</strong> Fellows<br />
Center financing and operating expenses.<br />
Last year, we reduced the number of incoming<br />
scholarships to adjust for the endowment<br />
decline. Now that our endowment is<br />
once again on the rise, we plan to increase<br />
the incoming scholarships at a pace we<br />
believe the endowment can sustain, with the<br />
objective of exceeding 35 incoming scholars<br />
annually. This year we took the first steps<br />
toward that goal by adding an additional<br />
three incoming scholars.<br />
The fiscal year 2011 spending plan is allocated<br />
approximately 76.9% for direct and<br />
indirect programmatic support, 11.6% for<br />
administrative expenses, and the remaining<br />
11.5% for fundraising costs. Programmatic<br />
support is comprised primarily of the scholarship<br />
and fellowship stipends that cover tuition<br />
and fees, room and board, books, and<br />
living expenses. It also includes the costs of<br />
our scholar enrichment and recognition programs<br />
as well as the portion of the <strong>Jefferson</strong><br />
Fellows Center financing and operational<br />
expenses dedicated for the programmatic<br />
use by the <strong>Jefferson</strong> Fellows and <strong>Scholars</strong>.<br />
Actual spending during fiscal year <strong>2010</strong> is<br />
expected to be approximately $485,000, or 4.7%,<br />
below the approved budget of $10.5 million.<br />
This spending decrease was due to several factors<br />
including a delay in occupying the <strong>Jefferson</strong><br />
Fellows Center as well as ongoing attention to<br />
monitoring expenditures, avoiding waste, and<br />
streamlining operational processes.<br />
capital expenditures<br />
The <strong>Foundation</strong>’s beautiful <strong>Jefferson</strong> Fellows<br />
Center was completed in March <strong>2010</strong>. We<br />
executed a phased occupancy by moving into<br />
the administration building in late November<br />
2009 while <strong>Foundation</strong> Hall and the <strong>Jefferson</strong><br />
Fellows Center construction was still underway.<br />
The full cost of the project was financed through<br />
a combination of hedged long-term municipal<br />
bond financing and medium-term bank loan<br />
financing.<br />
conclusion<br />
Our outlook is much brighter today compared<br />
to this time last year. The actions taken by<br />
<strong>Foundation</strong> leadership in response to the<br />
endowment losses have borne fruit, and we find<br />
ourselves standing in a better financial position.<br />
We continue to remain optimistic about the<br />
future and our ability to fulfill the mission of<br />
the <strong>Jefferson</strong> <strong>Scholars</strong> <strong>Foundation</strong>. Thanks to all<br />
who have contributed to our success.<br />

alumni<br />
At the end of fiscal year <strong>2010</strong>, the <strong>Jefferson</strong> <strong>Scholars</strong><br />
<strong>Foundation</strong>’s alumni consisted of 520 <strong>Scholars</strong> and 25 Fellows who live, work,<br />
and learn all over the world. Many of the <strong>Foundation</strong>’s youngest alumni are<br />
pursuing postgraduate degrees, while their older peers are making significant<br />
contributions to their communities as teachers, doctors, lawyers, veterinarians,<br />
parents, poets, musicians, playwrights, and small business owners. Among<br />
them is a producer and Emmy Award nominee for a documentary on the<br />
genocide in Darfur and, closer to home, the recently appointed associate dean<br />
for undergraduate academic programs at the University of Virginia.<br />
Alumni are vital to the well-being of the <strong>Foundation</strong>, serving as interviewers<br />
on selection committees and as advisors to the <strong>Foundation</strong> on various<br />
boards and committees. Their philanthropic contributions help sustain the<br />
<strong>Foundation</strong>’s growth and development. As the newest members of the alumni<br />
community, every member of the <strong>Jefferson</strong> Scholar Class of <strong>2010</strong> made a gift to<br />
the <strong>Foundation</strong> in the year of their graduation.<br />

faculty advisory committee to<br />
the undergraduate program 2009 -10<br />
Chaired by Maurie McInnis (<strong>Jefferson</strong> Scholar Class of 1988), the newly appointed associate dean<br />
for undergraduate academic programs at the University, the Faculty Advisory Committee for the<br />
Undergraduate Program consists of faculty members who will assist the <strong>Foundation</strong> in two specific<br />
ways. They will: 1) aid in recruiting new <strong>Jefferson</strong> <strong>Scholars</strong> by meeting with finalists during Selection<br />
Weekend, serving on faculty panels or as seminar leaders, and following up afterwards with those<br />
finalists with whom they had significant interaction; 2) provide current <strong>Jefferson</strong> <strong>Scholars</strong> with better<br />
access to faculty, particularly people to whom they can turn for informal advising. The group had its<br />
first meeting in February to map out a plan for the year. The following faculty members have agreed<br />

million members from around the world. Prior to joining the team at ONE, Lane was the director<br />
of public policy and external affairs and director of the east coast office (located in Washington,<br />
D.C.) for the Bill & Melinda Gates <strong>Foundation</strong>. He also served in a number of senior positions in<br />
the federal government, including executive director of the National Economic Council at the<br />

shared stories from his time at the<br />
University as a <strong>Jefferson</strong> Scholar and talked<br />
about his fifteen years at the Coca-Cola<br />
Company, where he served in a variety of<br />
leadership roles in operations, marketing,<br />
strategic planning, and organizational<br />
development, including vice president,<br />
North America strategic planning and<br />
integration. Lum has also served as<br />
chairman of the board of the National<br />
Hands On Network, coordinating its recent merger with Points of Light <strong>Foundation</strong>. He<br />
delivered an important message, encouraging <strong>Scholars</strong> to say “yes” when opportunities for<br />
volunteer involvement arise. He encouraged <strong>Scholars</strong> to pay attention to their “fellow travelers”<br />
as they journey through life and to express gratitude often (and in writing) to those who help<br />
them along the way.<br />

“There we were — competing for a four-year scholarship, playing frisbee on a<br />
Lawn designed by the author of The Declaration of Independence. There was no<br />
other place in the world that so easily mixed prestige and playfulness, no other<br />
place where people were so committed to having fun while pursuing their dreams<br />
of success.... [This University] deserves only the best and that’s why alumni and<br />
the <strong>Foundation</strong> go to such great lengths to bring you all here. We hope that, even<br />
in this hectic weekend, you will<br />
fall in love with this place just<br />

“My classmates are fearlessly themselves. The <strong>Foundation</strong> was somehow able to<br />
pick us out for our leadership, passions, and aspirations. But when we get<br />
together, we don’t talk about our titles or accomplishments, which are many, but<br />
instead just enjoy each other for who we are and inspire and challenge each<br />
other to grow even more.... No one at the <strong>Foundation</strong> ever told us what to do<br />
here, but gave us limitless opportunities to excel in whatever we pursued and an<br />
unbelievable community with which to share it.”<br />

“Our class bonded so much [during the Institute for Leadership and<br />
Citizenship]. I loved discussing seminar topics with them, hearing their<br />
opinions, experiences, and ideas...but most of all I loved just spending time<br />
with them and getting to know them so well. It was a great opportunity to<br />
spend time with and learn from really remarkable people!”<br />

“I had an absolute blast getting to know the other <strong>Jefferson</strong> <strong>Scholars</strong> [at the<br />
Challenge Discovery weekend]. I grew mentally and emotionally through<br />
interaction with my peers and overcoming unbelievable high ropes<br />

eighth annual jefferson fellows symposium<br />
Held Friday, February 19, <strong>2010</strong>, at the Rotunda and in various Pavilions across the Lawn, the<br />
symposium featured ten presentations from current <strong>Jefferson</strong> Fellows. The symposium’s methodology<br />
is simple: provide an opportunity for <strong>Jefferson</strong> Fellows to engage with members of the University<br />
community to discuss aspects of their current research. The preparation, and then the presentation<br />
itself, allows the Fellows to hone their research and teaching skills and gain valuable feedback.<br />

Stellar Nurseries: Recent<br />
progress and problems in<br />
Star Formation Research<br />
Stars are the most fundamental<br />
astronomical objects. They were<br />
the focus of astronomy long<br />
before humans had any detailed<br />
information about their nature.<br />
One of the first questions we<br />
often ask about a novel object<br />
or phenomenon is “Where<br />
did it come from?” Indeed, astronomers<br />
ponder the origin<br />
of anything they see through<br />
a telescope; however, despite<br />
all our years of observational<br />
and theoretical work, many of<br />
the fine but important aspects<br />
of star formation are not fully<br />
understood. In particular, the<br />
mechanism by which massive<br />
stars form is difficult to describe<br />
in detail. I will begin with a<br />
review of our current body of<br />
knowledge along with what<br />
we think we know about star<br />
formation. Then I will proceed<br />
to outline the unresolved issues<br />
and current research designed to<br />
address these points, including<br />
my own search for examples of<br />
triggered star formation within<br />
the Milky Way.<br />
upon Marcel Duchamp’s contemporaries<br />
and the generations<br />
that followed, attempts to situate<br />
this scatological readymade<br />
within the context of the literary<br />
arts have left scholars responding<br />
largely as they claim poets<br />
did when confronted with the<br />
piece: scratching their heads. Yet<br />
recent scholarship that recuperates<br />
Fountain’s homoerotic and<br />
racial overtones by focusing upon<br />
contemporary fears of queer<br />
activity in public toilets suggests<br />
the debate Fountain sparked<br />
proved pivotal for Mina Loy, a<br />
prominent member of the New<br />

Jameson Graber, the Trey Beck Fellow (Mathematics), discusses control theory in acoustic systems.<br />
tion. In privileging this interstitial<br />
discourse — the language of<br />
cultural abjection — Loy adopts<br />
both the formal and ideological<br />
underpinnings of Fountain’s<br />
relationship to excreta in order<br />
to create a new model for poetic<br />
productivity and the figure of<br />
the enduring artist.<br />

mathematical Analysis<br />
of Structural Acoustic<br />
Systems<br />
The purpose of this talk is to<br />
explain how mathematics can<br />
contribute to the study of a<br />
real-world engineering problem,<br />
namely that of stabilizing an<br />
acoustic chamber (e.g., airplane<br />
fuselage). I will begin by explaining<br />
the physical scenario — an<br />
acoustic chamber with “noise”<br />
affecting acoustic pressure —<br />
which engineers wish to control<br />
(i.e., protect system from damage<br />
or other unwanted effects<br />
of noise). The core of my presentation<br />
is to explain how the<br />
particular area of mathematics<br />
called control theory is used to<br />
analyze this system. I will summarize<br />
the basic philosophy of<br />
control theory in a three-step<br />
process: modeling the physical<br />
phenomena using a system of<br />
partial differential equations,<br />
studying the properties of the<br />
new mathematical problem, and,<br />
finally, altering the model in<br />
order to obtain desired behavior<br />
(e.g., to obtain or enhance stability).<br />
Having explained the basic<br />
philosophy of control theory, I<br />
will show how we apply it in<br />
the case of structural acoustic<br />
systems. I will present the differential<br />
equations model that I<br />
am studying, explain what properties<br />
of the model need to be<br />
demonstrated mathematically,<br />
and then describe the control<br />
methods hoped for in this model.<br />
Finally, I will give a qualitative<br />
(non-technical) description of<br />
the mathematical techniques I<br />
use to contribute to our understanding<br />
of structural acoustic<br />
systems.<br />

is reliant on more than just<br />
traditional profitability and<br />
that a firm’s stakeholder base<br />
consists of more than shareholders.<br />
Employees, communities,<br />
and the environment represent<br />
additional stakeholders that<br />
contribute to long-term sustainable<br />
firm success. A life cycle<br />
approach to operations allows<br />
an organization to evaluate<br />
the benefits, risks, and costs of<br />
a product or technology from<br />
inception to end of life use, and<br />
ultimately to the reuse of product<br />
components. It ensures that<br />
businesses are thinking about<br />
operations in the larger context<br />
of long-term sustainability. In<br />
addition, life cycle–based operations<br />
and sustainable business<br />
practices can lead to process<br />
improvement, product innovation,<br />
and increased profitability.<br />
In evaluating the value added by<br />
green operations and strategic<br />
sustainability initiatives, the life<br />
cycle view can offer a method of<br />
understanding how cost tradeoffs<br />
interact with one another<br />

abuses. During the decade<br />
leading to emancipation in 1888,<br />
many ex-slaves and their descendents<br />
also sought to break bonds<br />
of rural patronage by relocating<br />
to Salvador, Bahia, one of the<br />
largest cities in Brazil. My study<br />
focuses on the increasing mobility<br />
of these people as they left the<br />
hinterland to become domestic<br />
servants in the provincial capital.<br />
The migration of ex-slaves (and<br />
runaways) to the city of Salvador<br />
and the subsequent renegotiation<br />
of labor relations between master<br />
and servant provoked elites<br />
to respond by limiting this new<br />
threat to their patriarchal domination.<br />
This period also reveals the<br />
faint beginnings of state labor<br />
regulation of the popular classes.<br />
The end of slavery coincided with<br />
and produced legislation aimed<br />
at domestic servants and other urban<br />
professions, which attempted<br />
both to prolong social and labor<br />
relations deeply influenced by<br />
slavery, as well as to incentivize<br />
the transition to wage-labor.<br />

Loose Vowels: Linguistic<br />
Waste and Lil Wayne’s No<br />
Ceilings<br />
Using images of waste in Lil<br />
Wayne’s lyrics as a starting point,<br />
this presentation will engage differing<br />
theoretical traditions and<br />
ask questions about the metaphors<br />
we use when we think<br />
and talk about language while<br />
also telling the story of a critical<br />
and theoretical project’s genesis<br />
and development. Once we<br />
notice how much Lil Wayne talks<br />
about human excrement, we<br />
can explore how these images of<br />
waste operate in his music and<br />
then expand these metaphors<br />
to language in general. Ordinary<br />
language philosophers like J.L.<br />
Austin, linguists like Geoffrey<br />
Nunberg, and post-structuralist<br />
thinkers like Jacques Derrida<br />
have much to say about our use<br />
of language on the one hand<br />
and semantic autonomy on the<br />
other, and this project seeks an<br />
in-between position from which<br />
an account of language as waste<br />
is possible. With a focus on the<br />
recent mixtape No Ceilings but<br />
an eye to the entire oeuvre, we<br />
will explore how Lil Wayne creates<br />
and utilizes images of and<br />
words for human excrement as<br />
representative of both his own<br />
linguistic virtuosity and language’s<br />
strange ways of escaping<br />
our understanding.<br />
Harold Reeves, the Eric M. Heiner Fellow (Classics), discusses Herodotus.<br />

Repetition and Variation in<br />
the History of Herodotus<br />
In History, the Greek historian<br />
Herodotus chronicles the long<br />
history of conflict between East<br />
and West that culminated in the<br />
Persian invasions of Greece in<br />
the early 5th Century BC. Often<br />
called the father of history, he<br />
has also been called the father<br />
of lies. Indeed, as was observed<br />
even in antiquity, Herodotus is at<br />
times willing to include material<br />
— myths and legends from the<br />
far distant past, as well as mythical<br />
accounts of peoples and<br />
events in far distant lands — that<br />
would have little or no place in<br />
the work of a modern, “rational”<br />
historian. In this talk, I will argue<br />
that Herodotus includes these<br />
stories from tradition, from myth,<br />
and from the popular imagination<br />
in order to establish the<br />
existence of repetitions and<br />
patterns in the flow of human<br />
history. I will consider specifically<br />
how Herodotus highlights — and<br />
perhaps invents — such patterns<br />
in his narrative of the great<br />
battles of Thermopylae and<br />
Salamis. Finally, I will reflect on<br />
how this tendency to see history<br />
as patterned and repetitive has<br />
been passed down from the father<br />
of history and continues, for<br />
better or worse, to influence our<br />
interpretation of history today.<br />

The game of Notes:<br />
Composition as an Act of<br />
play<br />
When composers talk about<br />
composing, they often emphasize<br />
the playful qualities of the<br />
creative process. They speak of<br />
the act of writing music as a puzzle,<br />
a sport, or a roll of the dice;<br />
they describe playing the “game<br />
of notes.” Tellingly, these playbased<br />
descriptions arise across<br />
time and style. In their frequency<br />
and persistence, then, these links<br />
between play and composition<br />
begin to suggest that the two<br />
share a relationship that goes<br />
beyond analogy. Writing music<br />
11
jefferson scholars foundation <strong>2010</strong><br />
emerges as an inherently playful<br />
activity. Accepting this proposition<br />
offers the opportunity to<br />
examine musical creation from a<br />
new perspective. The later part of<br />
the previous century witnessed<br />
the development of a rich body of<br />
literature on human play. Thinkers<br />
like Johan Huizinga, Roger Caillois,<br />
Gregory Bateson, and Brian<br />
Sutton-Smith (to name only a<br />
few) posited intricate theories<br />
about the mechanisms and meanings<br />
of play. Examining how these<br />
theories are reflected in the act of<br />
composition presents new methods<br />
for composers, analysts, and<br />
listeners to understand musical<br />
creation and relate to its results.<br />

The pedagogical Value of<br />
plato’s phaedrus<br />
Plato’s Phaedrus is a curiously selfcritical<br />
work. In this middle-period<br />
dialogue of Plato, Socrates suggests<br />
that all compositions should<br />
be put together like a living<br />
creature, with a head, middle, and<br />
extremities all fitting each other<br />
and the whole. In spite of this the<br />
Phaedrus appears to have two<br />
disjointed halves: the first a series<br />
of three speeches about love, and<br />
the second a dialectic exchange<br />
about the art of good rhetoric. In<br />
the final pages of the dialogue<br />
Socrates also famously criticizes<br />
Stacie Thyrion, the <strong>Jefferson</strong> <strong>Scholars</strong> <strong>Foundation</strong> Fellow (Philosophy), discusses Plato’s Phaedrus.<br />
writing, for causing forgetfulness<br />
in the writer, for creating a false<br />
appearance of wisdom in the<br />
reader, and for being unable to<br />
respond to questions or criticisms.<br />
He presents in contrast a truer<br />
form of writing: writing directly<br />
on the soul of a student through<br />
philosophic dialogue. Readers<br />
have wondered since antiquity<br />
whether Plato meant to undermine<br />
seriously his written works<br />
with these self-criticisms. In this<br />
talk I use the standards of good<br />
composition presented within the<br />
work to assess the value of the<br />
Phaedrus itself. How does Plato’s<br />
written philosophy measure up<br />
to these standards? Did Plato<br />
believe his written philosophy<br />
could, like the dialectic method<br />
of his teacher Socrates, lead a<br />
reader to acquire knowledge? We<br />
might even attack a more difficult<br />
question: Did Plato intend for his<br />
dialogues to be published outside<br />
the Academy?<br />

In November 2009 the <strong>Foundation</strong>’s Board of<br />
Directors approved an initiative to fund a<br />
series of graduate dissertation year fellowships<br />
in conjunction with the Graduate<br />
School of Arts & Sciences (GSAS). These<br />
fellowships will help students complete their<br />
dissertations on time and increase their<br />
chances for success in the always competitive<br />
academic job market. The <strong>Foundation</strong>’s<br />
overarching Fellowship goal is to strengthen<br />
our nation’s colleges and universities by<br />
enabling the most highly qualified young<br />
people to join their faculties.<br />
In addition to the academic criteria the<br />
GSAS committee uses to select recipients of<br />
its dissertation year fellowships, the <strong>Jefferson</strong><br />
Dissertation Year Fellowship committee will<br />
seek graduate students who embody the<br />
characteristics of the <strong>Jefferson</strong> Fellowship<br />
and the <strong>Jefferson</strong> <strong>Scholars</strong> <strong>Foundation</strong>. These<br />
characteristics include:<br />

n An unquestioned interest, potential, eagerness,<br />
and capacity to share their knowledge<br />
with a broad audience<br />
n Intellectual depth and curiosity, leadership<br />
skills, teaching potential, thirst for knowledge,<br />
and an ability to communicate<br />
effectively<br />
n A desire to work in an environment where<br />
shared ideas among a group of pan University<br />
leading thinkers strengthens and informs<br />
more narrowly defined scholarship<br />
Requirements of the <strong>Jefferson</strong> Fellowship<br />
include:<br />
n Maintaining and using regularly an<br />
assigned office at the <strong>Jefferson</strong> Fellows<br />

Columbia, Maryland<br />
In the spring of <strong>2010</strong>, Kelly<br />
successfully passed her<br />
comprehensive exams and received<br />
permission to proceed to the doctoral dissertation. Her dissertation will<br />
focus on the spread of Western-style economic liberalization programs in<br />
Egypt in the 1970s and 1980s, and the debates between the supporters and<br />
opponents of those programs. Kelly spent the summer doing preliminary<br />
dissertation research in Charlottesville as well as in Washington, D.C., at the<br />
World Bank and IMF archives before heading to New York City on a research<br />
trip to the Chase Manhattan and United Nations archival collections. By early<br />
2011 she anticipates travelling to Cairo to conduct additional research.<br />
“The new building and its resources are<br />
going to increase my productivity.<br />
Having a comfortable, convenient,<br />
quiet, and well-equipped workspace<br />
makes it easier to stay focused and<br />
motivated — particularly as I continue<br />
to get deeper into my program, and my<br />
work becomes increasingly selfmotivated.”<br />

Justin continues to work towards his<br />
Ph.D. in political theory. In addition<br />
to his studies, Justin has been an active participant in his department’s<br />
political theory colloquiums, in which he was a discussant for two visiting<br />
faculty members’ papers over the course of the year. He has expanded beyond<br />
his political theory background to become a teaching assistant for several of<br />
the Politics Department’s American Politics courses. Outside of the classroom<br />
Justin continues to demonstrate a commitment to university diversity by<br />
working for the Office of Graduate Student Diversity Programs, where he is a<br />
doctoral intern. He has participated in the office’s recruiting efforts, program<br />
implementation, and as a host for the Second Annual Graduate Student<br />
Diversity Visitation Weekend. As a result of the weekend, several prospective<br />
students of diverse backgrounds have decided to pursue their graduate studies<br />
at the University of Virginia. During the summer Justin continued his role in<br />
the university community as a Graduate Assistant for the university’s Summer<br />
Transition Program, where he assisted incoming first-years in making a smooth<br />
transition into the academic and social aspects of college life.<br />

Lanier has remained active as<br />
a composer and a performer in<br />
addition to completing his qualifying<br />
exams. His piece, “Each” for chamber<br />
ensemble and electronics, was selected for performance at the <strong>2010</strong> Society<br />
of Composers, Inc. National Student Conference in March. The renowned<br />
percussion quartet Talujon premiered “D.C. Home” at Old Cabell Hall in<br />
February. Lanier presented “Marbles,” a piece for dancers and interactive<br />
electronics developed with choreographers from the U.Va. dance program,<br />
in a series of four performances at Culbreth Theater. Lanier has continued to<br />
perform extensively on both classical and electric guitar. As part of Dzian!, he<br />
helped fuel fundraisers for earthquake relief in Haiti and typhoon relief in<br />
Taiwan. Dzian! performed in New York’s Union Square as part of the Passport<br />
to Taiwan festival. Lanier has also played improvisational sets around<br />
Charlottesville and remained an active member of the University’s New Music<br />
Ensemble. His research this year focused on the act of composition as play,<br />
the use of the electric guitar by composers, and intersection and overlap<br />
between popular music and art music in the 20th and 21st centuries. He will<br />
begin work on his dissertation in the coming year.<br />

modern and contemporary philosophy and continued her studies in ancient<br />
Greek philosophy. She plans to continue her work with the Platonic dialogues<br />
in her dissertation research, most notably the Phaedrus and the Symposium.<br />
Her work focuses most intently on Plato’s attitudes towards his own written<br />
philosophy, in relation to his attitudes towards the writings and speeches of<br />
other Greek poets and intellectuals, and in relation to his attitudes towards<br />
the spoken, dialectical philosophy of his teacher, Socrates. She continues to<br />
enjoy Greek reading groups with colleagues in both departments as well as<br />
teaching Greek to fellow graduate students and community youth.<br />
