View of the Lawn from the Rotunda. Note Corinthian columns. The view of the Lawn from the dome room is one of the loveliest at the University. The open view to the south was to Jefferson a symbol of the limitless freedom of the human mind. Although Jefferson never intended to enclose the south end of the Academical Village, in 1898 Stanford White built Cabell, Rouss, and Cocke Halls there at the south end of the Lawn to compensate for the classroom space lost in the fire in 1895.
