Created in 1995, the
Jefferson-Eppes Trophy is awarded annually to the winner of the college
football game between the
Seminoles of
Florida State University and
Cavaliers of the
University of Virginia. It is named for former
United States President and founder of the
University of Virginia,
Thomas Jefferson, and Jefferson's grandson
Francis W. Eppes VII, a three-time mayor of
Tallahassee and president of the Board of Trustees of the
Seminary West of the Suwannee, now Florida State University.
Origin
The idea for the Jefferson-Eppes Trophy was conceived by Florida State University President
Talbot D'Alemberte.

Construction
The trophy is composed of an intricately wrought silver pitcher presented to the city of
Tallahassee by Eppes in
1842 and set upon a wood base made of remains of the
McGuffey Ash, which was once the largest tree on the Grounds of the University of Virginia but suffered a fatal tree disease in
1990.
