Bishop Berkeley envisioned a society in Virginia characterized by a moral and intellectual elite, where landowners would cultivate both the land and the minds of the populace, promoting education and virtue. He believed that the establishment of a college in the colony would help achieve this vision by fostering religious and moral values. However, he faced obstacles such as the pervasive materialism and self-interest among the colonists, as well as the challenges of attracting support and funding for his educational initiatives. These societal attitudes and practical impediments hindered his aspirations for a more enlightened and virtuous community.
