This historical monograph explores the educational legacy of Henry Tutwiler (1807–1884) — a key early Alabama educator and advocate for classical education — and traces the influence of Thomas Jefferson’s University of Virginia on the intellectual development of Alabama institutions. It also reflects on the architectural and cultural ties between Tuscaloosa and early Southern academia.
