University of Richmond – UR is a selective, private, nonsectarian, liberal arts university located on the border of the city of Richmond and Henrico County, Virginia. University of Richmond – UR of Richmond is a primarily undergraduate, residential university with approximately 4,000 undergraduate and graduate students in five schools: the School of Arts and Sciences, the E. Claiborne Robins School of Business, the Jepson School of Leadership Studies, the T.C. Williams School of Law and the School of Continuing Studies. Founded by Virginia Baptists in 1830 as a seminary for men, with instruction begun by the Rev. Edward Baptist, the school was incorporated ten years later as Richmond College.

During the American Civil War, Richmond College was used as a hospital for Confederate troops and later as a Union barracks. By the end of the war, the college was bankrupt and unable to continue functioning. In 1866, James Thomas donated $5,000 to reopen the college. The T.C. Williams School of Law opened in 1870. In 1894, the college elected Dr. Frederic W. Boatwright president. President Boatwright would serve for 51 years. He is most remembered for his decision to move the college in 1914 from its original location in what is now the Fan district to its current location in the Westhampton area of Richmond. University of Richmond – UR main library, Boatwright Memorial Library, is named in Boatwright's honor.


In conjunction with the move, a new college for women, Westhampton College, opened on the new campus. In 1949, the E. Claiborne Robins School of Business opened, followed by the School of Continuing Studies in 1962. In 1969, E. Claiborne Robins, a trustee and alumnus, donated $50 million to the university, the largest gift made to an institution of higher education at the time. Today, University of Richmond – UR endowment totals approximately $1.6 billion and ranked 33rd among North American university endowments for fiscal year 2010. In 1987, a donation of $20 million by Robert S. Jepson, Jr. facilitated the opening of the Jepson School of Leadership Studies. The school, which opened in 1992, was the first of its kind in the U.S. In 1990, the missions of Richmond and Westhampton Colleges were combined to form the School of Arts and Sciences. On October 15, 1992, candidates George H. W. Bush, Bill Clinton, and Ross Perot came to campus for the first-ever "town hall" televised presidential debate, viewed by 200 million people worldwide. Edward L. Ayers, former dean of the College of Arts & Sciences at the University of Virginia, is the current president of the University of Richmond. Dr. Ayers was named the ninth president of the University of Richmond on November 10, 2006. He took office on July 1, 2007.


University of Richmond – UR campus consists of 350 acres (1.4 km2) in a suburban setting on the western edge of the city. The university has, with few exceptions, remained true to the original architectural plans for the campus — red brick buildings in a collegiate gothic style set around shared open lawns. Many of the original buildings, including Jeter Hall and North Court, both residence halls, and Ryland Hall, the original administration building and library for Richmond College, were designed by Ralph Adams Cram in 1910. Cram, a noted institutional architect, also designed buildings for Princeton, Cornell, Rice, and Williams, among other universities. Warren H. Manning, a former apprentice to Frederick Law Olmsted, designed the original landscape plan. The overall effect of the gothic architecture set amid a landscape of pines, rolling hills, and Westhampton Lake, is intimate and tranquil. In 2000, the campus was recognized by The Princeton Review as the most beautiful in the United States.


University of Richmond – UR campus was used to film portions of the pilot of Commander in Chief, and lead character Mackenzie Allen, (played by Geena Davis) served as chancellor of a fictionalized University of Richmond prior to her election as Vice President of the United States. Much of the movie Cry Wolf was filmed on the Westhampton side of campus, with several dormitories, including South Court, North Court, and Keller Hall, serving as locations. Several episodes of the television show Dawson's Creek were also filmed on campus, referring to Richmond only as a nameless "beautiful Ivy League campus." The filming itself took place in Stern Quad and inside the Jepson Alumni Center.


University of Richmond – UR also owns the former Reynolds Metals Executive Office Building, purchased from Alcoa in 2001. Located a few miles from campus, the 250,000-square-foot (23,000 m2) building was designed by architect Gordon Bunshaft and opened in 1958. The building, which incorporates nearly 1.4 million pounds of aluminum, is listed in the National Register of Historic Places. It currently serves as the headquarters of Altria Group and its subsidiary, Philip Morris USA, which are leasing it from the university. In early 2001, the university also finalized the purchase of 115 acres (0.47 km2) of land in eastern Goochland County, a few miles from the main campus. The land is currently used for biology research, but future uses could include intramural athletic fields. The University of Richmond campus is also home to the Virginia Governor's School for Visual and Performing Arts and Humanities during the summer.


University of Richmond – UR won its first NCAA national championship in any sport on December 19, 2008 when the Spiders football team defeated the Montana Grizzlies, 24–7, in the NCAA Division I Football Championship. Richmond was ranked 23rd in men's basketball at one point during the 2009–10 season. During it's 2010 season the Richmond Men's Cross Country team placed 24th at the NCAA Division 1 Cross Country Championships.
