Now, in its fourth century, the College is prepared to educate the leaders of the 21st century. The College of William and Mary was founded in 1693 by King William III and Queen Mary II of England. Four Presidents of the United States received their education at the College - George Wash- ington, Thomas Jefferson, James Monroe and John Tyler. The cur- rent chancellor of the College is former Secretary of State Henry Kissinger, and he took over the post from former British Prime Min- ister Margaret Thatcher. William and Mary was the first college to institute an honor code of conduct. The premier academic society, Phi Beta Kappa, was founded by William and Mary students in 1776. The Society of the Alumni, founded in 1842, is the sixth oldest alumni group in the nation. Now the College is designated as a “Public Ivy”, and ranks 15th among the best regional business schools. The Wren Building is the oldest one in the United States in which classes are still taught.
