  • The Greek System and the Influence of Cal Poly's Students Towards
    The Greek System and the Influence of Cal Poly’s Students Towards Campus Administration HIST 303 Research and Writing Seminar in History: Cal Poly History Project Presented to Course Instructor: Dr. Andrew D. Morris California Polytechnic State University, San Luis Obispo A Course Taken in Partial Fulfillment of My Bachelor of Arts Degree in History By Austin Park March 2018 Abstract This paper will portray how Cal Poly’s Greek life systems as well as the regular student body have influenced the university’s present policies of alcohol and other misconducts. It will examine the history of some fraternities who have received serious punishments due to their actions which resulted in the expulsion and dissolution of their organizations. However, in efforts to maintain stable relationships with Cal Poly and the residents of San Luis Obispo, it is common for fraternities and sororities to participate in local and national philanthropic services in order to maintain stable relationships through philanthropy. Since the 1970s, fraternities as well as Cal Poly have made attempts to create a society which foster a positive impact for its students. Key Words Fraternity, Hazing, Dissolution, Alcohol Policies, University/Campus Administration Introduction The history of the Greek-based society is synonymous with the progress and establishment of American universities. As a result, fraternities and sororities have become an identity for many young Americans within the United States. Founded in the College of William and Mary in 1750, the “Flat Hat Club” was the precursor to the modern fraternity and aided in the establishment of Phi Beta Kappa in 1776.1 Phi Beta Kappa, an honor society for liberal arts and sciences majors, is known as the first fraternal organization in the U.S.

  • The First Labor History of the College of William and Mary
    1 Integration at Work: The First Labor History of The College of William and Mary Williamsburg has always been a quietly conservative town. Throughout the first half of the twentieth century to the time of the Civil Rights Act, change happened slowly. Opportunities for African American residents had changed little after the Civil War. The black community was largely regulated to separate schools, segregated residential districts, and menial labor and unskilled jobs in town. Even as the town experienced economic success following the restoration of Colonial Williamsburg in the early 1930s, African Americans did not receive a proportional share of that prosperity. As the Colonial Williamsburg Foundation bought up land in the center of town, the displaced community dispersed to racially segregated neighborhoods. Black residents were relegated to the physical and figurative margins of the town. More than ever, there was a social disconnect between the city, the African American community, and Williamsburg institutions including Colonial Williamsburg and the College of William and Mary. As one of the town’s largest employers, the College of William and Mary served both to create and reinforce this divide. While many African Americans found employment at the College, supervisory roles were without exception held by white workers, a trend that continued into the 1970s. While reinforcing notions of servility in its hiring practices, the College generally embodied traditional southern racial boundaries in its admissions policy as well. As in Williamsburg, change at the College was a gradual and halting process. This resistance to change was characteristic of southern ideology of the time, but the gentle paternalism of Virginians in particular shaped the College’s actions.

  • The Remarkable History of the First College Flight School by B.J
    * * * * * The Virginia Aviation History Project Report Norm Crabill The College of William and Mary operated a Flight School to train civilian pilots in the early 1930s; it’s a story I wanted to bring to you since we did the book on Virginia Airports. B. J. Pryor brings it to life in our first story – its creation, activities, and sudden demise. Next, Bill Corbett contributes a newspaper article on the “New Shannon Airport” of 1950, and Jimmy Doman’s role in making it go. Bill gave us his story of life at Old Gloucester Airport last time. Bill is a fishspotter based out of Newport News, flying for Omega Protein of Reedville, Virginia. A menhaden spotter since 1978, he has made a living flying light planes since 1972 when he was the youngest licensed crop duster in the state. An A&P mechanic, Corbett spends his winters working on his well-worn Cessna 172, getting it ready for the 1200 hour season that runs from April to January. He has 30,000+ total hours in his 39 years of flying. Did you know the story about Douglas B-18s from Langley Field using Ft. Eustis as a practice bombing range from 1936 to 1944? Dick Ivy, deceased, of the Fort Eustis Historical & Archaeological Association, tells that story with not too surprising results. See the third story. There is a winner for last time’s Mystery Plane, and a new one is offered up. This one should be easy.

  • Cross at Wren Chapel Nichol's Email
    “The Cross at Wren Chapel” Exhibit 1: Nichol’s Email of December 20, 2006 The full text of President Gene Nichol’s email of December 20, 2006 was published in the student newspaper, The Flat Hat: “To the College Community: I trust that you are enjoying the close of the semester. There are, as yet, still a few exams to be completed, papers to be graded, projects to be mastered, and, finally, miles to be traveled toward those who have missed you more than it was thought possible. My family and I have again been amazed by the warmth of the College community. From the Yule Log, to the carolers and singers who have brought greetings to our house, to the later-night enthusiasts of the Sunken Garden, you have lifted our hearts. I write, though, on another front. Controversy continues about my decision to alter the display of the cross in the Wren Chapel. Although the faculty has been strongly supportive, and the Student Senate voted by a wide margin not to oppose the change, opinion on campus is far from uniform. And beyond our walls, many alumni and friends of the College have urged, in the strongest terms, that the decision be reconsidered. I have tried to read each letter, note and email I’ve received about the issue—though the volume has been high and the language sometimes heated. And even as the semester has drawn to a close, I have continued to speak with faculty, students, staff, campus ministers, alumni and the members of our Board of Visitors about ways to honor our traditions while assuring that the Chapel is equally welcoming to all.
