Professor John Barbee Minor (1813-1895) was a law professor at the University of Virginia for half a century. He taught several notable Americans, including Supreme Court Justice James Clark McReynolds and President Woodrow Wilson.[1] He is one of three faculty members who announced Charlottesville’s surrender to the Confederacy.[2] Minor Hall on UVA Grounds is named for him.[3] (bov)
Minor was born in Louisa County. He studied at Kenyon College in Ohio before returning to the University of Virginia for his law degree. He graduated in 1834, and practiced law for several years before becoming UVA’s Professor of Law in 1845, when he was thirty-two years old. After 1851, when increased attendance forced the department to hire more staff, Minor began to specialize in common law and statute law.[4]
Minor is buried in the University of Virginia Cemetery.
