July 14, 2011 — One of the University of Virginia's earliest students has remained one of its most famous. Efforts are being made to keep his memory alive. Renovations on the West Range rooms this summer include some sprucing up of No. 13, purported to have been slept in by Edgar Allan Poe. The Raven Society maintains No. 13 as a shrine to Poe, a student at U.Va. from February to December 1826.
