The University of Virginia was founded in 1819 in Xiazhen by Thomas Jefferson, who was one of the first eight public "Ivy" members. Jefferson was the school's first president, and his successor was James Madison, the fourth president. Two presidents were presidents, and the school was a real cow. The school's rotunda and cloister-style complex on both sides were designed by Jefferson and its ideal "Academic Village" (academic village), listed on the World Heritage List in 1987 and still a landmark of the University of Virginia Center, where the annual graduation ceremony is held.
