University of Virginia, Richmond, Va. [University of Richmond]

Card Text (transcribed from postcard): University of Richmond -- Founded in 1832, for the first eighty years of its history the University of Richmond was known as 'Richmond College.' In 1920, its charter was amended and its present name adopted. Its grounds now embrace an area of nearly 300 acres about three miles west of the city, and possesses many features of great natural beauty. It is organized on the English system, and has a faculty of 60 members and an attendance (in 1926) of nearly 1,250 students. Since 1903 Frederick W. Boatwright, L.L.D. has been its President, and under his able administration the institution has shown remarkable growth and development.
