Founder's Day

Today is the 178th anniversary of the founding of the Jefferson Literary and Debating Society at Room 7 West Lawn at the University of Virginia. Your Most Humble and Obedient Servant had the privilege of serving the Society in a number of capacities, and found the Hall, as we know it, to be a tremendously broadening intellectual experience, and a fine introduction to the politics that pervade virtually every organization with more than two members.
