whew!

lucky for me i did not attend the law school any time between 1845-1895, or i might have faced the prospect of having john barbee minor as a professor. not that i have anything against john barbee minor, but i'm pretty sure i would have if i had been his student, as in his first ten years of teaching, only 9% of his students were able to pass his exam and earn their degree. yick!

you can learn more about the storied history of uva law profs here. (i wouldn't actually say it's much of a read, but i would recommend taking note of the fact that prof. bevier looks about identical to the picture of her taken over 30 years ago. well maybe that picture wasn't actually taken in 1973, but it was clearly taken a while ago and it still looks strikingly similar to how she looks now. so props to prof. bevier for aging so well.)
