Concerning education in Virginia, The Richmond Enquirer says: "It may be and doubtless is the fact, that in many of the ornamental and some of the practical accessions of the modern college curriculum, and in pretentiousness of school buildings we are behind many of our Northern sisters, but in the elements of solidity and letters and in laying the foundation for future usefulness and mental developement--in liberality of views, we think it can be claimed that our system has advanced with the most progressive, and that our schools and colleges, in all their grades, can be pointed to with a just pride."
