WILLIAMSBURG AT A GLANCE Williamsburg, Jamestown and Yorktown form what is known as the Historic Triangle. In 1607, the first permanent English settlement in North America was founded at Jamestown when Captain John Smith and a band of pioneer settlers established a beachhead colony. Facing unanticipated hardships and challenges, the settlers were not quickly accepted by the Powhatan Indians, who were curious about their new neighbors’ intentions. For the next ninety years, Jamestown served as the seat of government for the English colonies as they steadily grew in population. In 1693, King William III and Queen Mary II granted a charter to establish a college in the Virginia colony at a new location known locally as Middle Plantation. Although the new college (appropriately named the College of William & Mary) was established as the second educational institution in the new colonies, William & Mary’s antecedents actually predate those of Harvard. A 330-acre tract of land was purchased for 170 pounds, and the College of Arms in London granted the College of William & Mary a coat of arms in 1694. In 1698, the statehouse in Jamestown burned for the fourth time, and many Virginians decided to use the opportunity to move the capital to Middle Plantation, including several leading politicians who lived in Middle Plantation. As a rapidly growing city filled with successful tobacco planters and merchants, Middle Plantation possessed many attractive characteristics from its healthier location on high ground between two major waterways to its safety from naval cannon fire. In 1699, the city was given an entirely new layout fitting of a capital, and renamed Williamsburg in honor of King William III. The Wren Building became the temporary meeting place for the General Assembly until 1704, when the Capitol Building was sufficiently constructed. Information about local businesses and services changes quickly. E-mail [email protected] to report inaccuracies or to make other comments/suggestions. Page 1 During this time, William & Mary was expanded from its original grammar and Indian schools to include additional buildings and a larger curriculum. By 1729, a president and six full partners were in full use. In 1749, a young George Washington received a commission as surveyor from the College, and in 1756 the first known degree, as well as honorary degree of Master of Arts, was conferred upon Benjamin Franklin.

  • African Americans at the College of William and Mary from 1950 to 1970
    African Americans at the College of William and Mary from 1950 to 1970 By: Jacqueline Filzen 1 Introduction This paper investigates the admission policies and the experiences of the first African American students at the College of William and Mary between 1950 and 1970—the height of the civil rights era. During these tense times in American history African American emerged as leaders of social change by enrolling in institutions of higher learning such as William and Mary. In addition to exploring the experience of the first African Americans, this paper also explores the attitudes of students, faculty, and William and Mary’s administration to integration. African Americans graduated from American colleges as early as the 1820s. The first African Americans to receive a college degree included John Rosswumm, Edward Jones, and Lucius Twilight.1 These men went on to becoming successful newspaper editors, businessmen, and local politicians. Other African Americans joined their ranks and received college degrees between 1820 and 1900. “W.E.B. Dubois reported that 390 blacks had earned diplomas from white colleges and universities between 1865 and 1900”.2 Like “many of the nation’s most prestigious, predominantly white universities in the South—which did not admit any blacks until the 1950s or 1960s”3 the College of William and Mary did not admit an African American student until 1951. Its decision to admit an African American student was not due to the school’s support for integration. Rather this decision was taken to avoid any legal repercussions if the College had done otherwise. Furthermore the College only admitted its first African American student after much deliberation and consultation with the Board of Visitors and the Attorney General.

I feel lucky to have a unique perspective on William & Mary. As a Muscarelle Museum of Art Foundation board member, an emeritus member of the William & Mary Law School Foundation board and a past president of the Alumni Association, I’ve seen first-hand the resources and commitment it takes to keep William & Mary on the leading edge of higher education — and how diligently the university puts our contributions to work. My late husband, Alvin ’70, J.D. ’72, would be happy to know that in addition to continuing our more than 40-year legacy of annual giving, I’ve included our alma mater in my estate plans.
