Brockenbrough, Arthur Spicer, 1780-1832. A. S. Brockenbrough statement of finances and enrollment [manuscript] [1830], Nov 5.

Title: A. S. Brockenbrough statement of finances and enrollment [manuscript] [1830], Nov 5.

Brockenbrough gives answers to questions put to him by Thomas W. Gilmer, including assets of the University, monies received from the Literary Fund, and funds transferred from Central College. The University's debts consist chiefly of the amount borrowed from the Literary Fund and that borrowed from Martha Jefferson Randolph. Brockenbrough lists the expenses of the University, including salaries and expenditures for the Library and the Schools of Chemistry and Natural Philosophy. Brockenbrough also lists the total number of students and the enrollment in each school. The fees for the year are included. Brockenbrough continues by saying it is a "matter of surprise" to him that "the number of students should continue so small at the University." He says that "many counties have not sent a single student" since the University opened. Brockenbrough wonders whether it is because of the expense or "for the want of taste for literature" and is inclined to think it is the latter since there are men of wealth in each of Virginia's counties. Brockenbrough concludes by suggesting that the University should educate, free of charge, students from each county equal to the number of representatives in the House of Delegates. The students would then be sent back to the counties to become teachers.
