Extract from Thomas Jefferson to Joseph Priestley

Philadelphia Jan. 18. 1800.

we wish to establish in the upper & healthier country, & more centrally for the state an University on a plan so broad & liberal & modern, as to be worth patronising with the public support, and be a temptation to the youth of other states to come, and drink of the cup of knolege & fraternize with us.
