The University of Virginia is unique among institutions of higher education. It combines the goals and purposes of a public university while maintaining the highest excellence in research and scholarship— and it does so without compromising the quality of undergraduate education. I think that in a great public university, two of the three may be combined but rarely all three.

<p>I received the email yesterday--she seems quite impressive. Dean Ayers is a tough act to follow. He was one of my favortie professors way back in the 80's.</p>
