  Seminary   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-02)
Although the primary purpose of a seminary is to prepare and equip candidates for religious service in the church, nowadays many people not intending to become involved in church leadership may study in seminaries.
It is also quite common for lay people to study in a seminary to enhance their spiritual life, to explore academic interests, or to prepare for non-ordained ministries (for example, choir director or Sunday school teacher).
When founded in the 19th century, teacher seminaries enrolled primary school graduates, but gradually the requirements were increased until, in the middle of the 20th century, the requirement was raised to high school diploma.

Jefferson conceived of the university as a non-coercive entity, allowing relative autonomy to the individual faculty members and their individual schools, and fostering a mixture of independence and interdependency.
While Jefferson had left the southern prospect of the academical village open to the wilderness, allotting for a theoretically infinite expansion of the lawn and ranges, such an outcome was rendered less practicable by the increasingly steep grade of the hill and by the presence of a major road not far from the original grounds.
