Book excerpt: Excerpt from History of the University of Virginia, Vol. 3: 1819 1919; The Lengthened Shadow of One Man It is stated on page 153, Volume II, that Professor Gessner Harrison was named after the celebrated Swiss naturalist. The tradition in the family would seem to prove that he was named after Gessner, the poet, who was a native of Zurich. In the reference to the Boston Courier on page 1, Volume II, it would have been more accurate to have said that it was the Richmond Enquirer which announced the arrival of the English professors, and that it was this announcement only which so aroused its contemporaries, who were hostile to Jefferson. Further investigation has shown that it was Richard Duke, not Alexander Duke, as stated on page 276, Volume I, who was asked by Jefferson, in 1819, to undertake the duties of the proctorship in part.
