In 1911 Charlottesville was still a small seat of Albemarle County, and the University of Virginia shaped much of its public life under President Edwin Alderman, who had led the school since 1904 and pushed it toward graduate and professional study. Rail lines, including the Chesapeake and Ohio, carried students, farm produce from the surrounding county, and visitors bound for Monticello. The town lived under the segregation that Virginia's 1902 constitution had tightened, with Black residents largely shut out of voting and held to separate schools, churches, and neighborhoods. Most townspeople would have known Charlottesville as a university town, where the academic calendar set the rhythm of the year.
