The obelisk, dedicated on this campus at commencement June 4, 1885, commemorates Thomas Jefferson, third president of the United States, whose faith in the future of western America and whose confidence in the people has shaped our national ideals; commemorates the author of the Declaration of Independence and of the Virginia statute for religious freedom, founder of the University of Virginia, fosterer of public education in the United States.

There was a guy who held a "contest" of sorts to see who could mail him the funniest joke before he was put to death by lethal injection. His goal was to leave the world with everyone laughing, as he was going to tell this joke as his last words... I'm still trying to find if A) the contest is over and B) what the winning joke was.
