THOMAS
JEFFERSON CONCEPTUALIZED an institution
of learning that intertwined the academic
and residential domains of students and
faculty, apparent today in the powerful
architecture of the Academical Village’s
Lawn. Centuries, and thousands of students
later,
that is not characteristic of U.Va. life
today. Of the 13,200 undergraduates attending
the University, only 54 live on the Lawn.
History shows that since the 1820s, students
have lived in a wide variety of housing
extending beyond Grounds, each one providing
different capabilities for linking students
academically and socially to the University,
such as a makeshift student village at
Copeley Hill

that housed married World War II veterans
from 1946 to 1963. Full
story.

As
inviting as the water may be in taking
the edge off of the summer heat,
it can also prove deadly. Drowning
is the leading cause of death of children
ages 1 to 4 and the No. 2. two cause
of death for children ages 14 and under.
“Kids drown quickly and quietly,” said
Emily Lister, coordinator of the SAFE
KIDS program at U.Va.’s Children’s Hospital.
Even a near-drowning incident
can leave
a
child
with lifelong
consequences
such as brain damage. The program
offers
precautions for keeping kids safe
during
summer swim
time, first
and foremost with active supervision. Full
