Society Ties - A History of the Jefferson Society and Student Life at the University of Virginia (Hardcover)

Society Ties is a history of the University of Virginia’s oldest student organization, the Jefferson Society. Founded in 1825, the Society has counted the likes of Woodrow Wilson and Edgar Allan Poe among its membership and continues to be one of the largest and most active student organizations on Grounds. Society Ties is more than just the story of the Jefferson Society, however; it is a history of student life at the University of Virginia. The book explores what motivates students during their time at the University and how they experience the ineffable place that is Jefferson’s Academical Village. Until now, no historian has been granted access to the Society’s archives. Society Ties offers a unique—students’—perspective on the vibrant history of the Society and the University at large.
