PART ONE History of the College of William and Mary in Virginia CHRONOLOGICAL HISTORY 1693—On February 8th, a charter was granted by King William and Queen Mary of England, for the establishment of the College of William and Mary in Virginia. In this charter the Rev. James Blair was named president. 1705—The Wren Building was destroyed by fire. It was rebuilt with the original walls and was completed about 1716. 1723—The Brafferton Building was erected. 1729—Upon the establishment of all departments required by the charter, the realty and personalty of the College were transferred from the trustees to the faculty. 1732—The chapel wing of the Wren Building was opened, and the foun- dation of the President's House was laid. 1750—The Flat Hat Club, the first college club at William and Mary of which there is a record, was established. 1758—The modern lecture system was introduced into the system of higher education in the colonies when Dr. William Small became professor of Natural Philosophy. Rev. Goronwy Owen, the beloved Welsh poet, was appointed master of the grammar school. 1770—Lord Botetourt established a fund by means of which medals were given to meritorious students. 1776—Phi Beta Kappa, the first Greek letter fraternity, was founded by students of the College. 1779—The College became a university, introducing into the United States the elective system of studies and establishing schools of Modern Languages, Law, and Medicine. 1781—The British campaign in Virginia caused a suspension of classes. 1801—The statue of Lord Botetourt, which originally stood at the Capitol, was purchased by the faculty and placed in the center of the College Yard. 1824-1825—An attempt to remove the College to Richmond, as a means of increasing the enrollment, failed. 1828—At the death of Dr. Patrick Kerr Rogers, professor of Chemistry and Natural Philosophy, his son, William Barton Rogers, an alum- 10 College of William and Mary nus of the College, who later founded Massachusetts Institute of Technology, succeeded him in that professorship. 1848—Owing to dissension in the faculty, the College declined for two years. Benjamin S. Ewell was elected the fifteenth president but considered himself as acting president only. 1854—Benjamin S. Ewell was re-elected to the office, becoming seven- teenth president. 1859—On the 166th anniversary of the founding of the College, the interior of the Wren Building was burned a second time when some early documents, including the original charter, all of the library, and the chemical laboratory were destroyed. 1861—The College was suspended in May on account of the Civil War. In 1862 the Wren Building, while occupied by Federal soldiers, suffered a third fire. 1865—The College reopened; but it was not until 1869 that the Wren Building was entirely rebuilt, the fourth building on the original foundation and with the original walls. 1881—The College was forced to suspend on account of financial diffi- culties. 1888—Lyon G. Tyler was elected eighteenth president. The College was reorganized with State aid and reopened. 1893—The U. S. Congress indemnified the College partially for its losses in the Civil War. 1906—The property belonging to the College was transferred to the State of Virginia. Since 1906 the College has been under the direction of a Board of Visitors appointed by the Governor of Virginia. 1918—Women were admitted to the College by act of the General As- sembly. 1919-1934—Fifteen new buildings were erected on the campus. Many new courses were added. The enrollment increased from 150 to 1300 students. 1928-1932—The three earliest buildings of the College were restored to their original appearance through the generosity of John D. Rocke- feller, Jr. 1943—With simple ceremonies, appropriate to wartime, the College, on February 8, celebrated its two hundred and fiftieth anniversary, in- augurated John Edwin Pomfret as its twenty-first president, and invested John Stewart Bryan as its fourth American chancellor.
