 transport the same tobacco into England, Wales, or the town of 
 Berwick upon Tweed, and to no other place, and there to unload 
 
 --and put the same on shore, the dangers of the sea only excepted; 
 in such case there should be paid to the said king, his heirs and 
 successors, for every pound of tobacco unloaded and put on board, 
 one penny, to be levied, collected, and paid in such place, and to 
 such collectors or other officers in the respective plantations, as 
 should be appointed to collect, levy, and receive the same ; and 
 under such penalties, as well on the officers as goods, to be inflicted 
 
 .-as for the non-payment or defraying the king's taxes or customs in 
 England ought to be inflicted : And if it should happen that any 
 person or persons who ought to pay the said duties should not have 
 ready money wherewith to satisfy the same, that the officers ap- 
 pointed to collect the same might accept, instead of ready money, 
 such proportion of tobacco, to be laden as aforesaid, as might amount 
 to the value thereof, according to the current rate of that commodity 
 in such plantation respectively : All which matters are to be ordered 
 and managed, and the respective duties to be caused to be levied by 
 the commissioners of the customs in England, for the time being, 
 under the authority and direction of the lord treasurer of England, 
 or the commissioners of the treasury for the time being, as by the 
 same act of parliament, among other things therein contained, re- 
 lation being thereunto had, more fully appears : Their said late 
 majesties, for themselves, and their successors, did give and grant 
 to the said Francis Nicholson, William Cole, and the rest of the 
 trustees aforesaid and their heirs, for ever, the said revenue of one 
 penny for every pound of tobacco to be shipped as aforesaid, out of 
 Virginia or Maryland, or either of them, and the nett produce which 
 
 ; should, accrue in England, or elsewhere, by the sale of tobacco to 
 be collected in the colonies of Virginia or Maryland, in lieu of the 
 penny aforesaid to be paid for every pound of tobacco to be shipped. 
 But to the express intent, and under this special trust and confidence, 
 that the said trustees, and the longest livers of them, and their heirs, 
 should hold, take, and possess the said revenue of one penny for 
 every pound of tobacco aforesaid, with all profits, commodities, and 
 emoluments of the same ; and the same should apply, and employ, 
 to the erecting and adorning of the buildings and other things ne- 
 cessary for the said College, until the said College should be actually 
 erected, founded, and established ; and to the express intent, and 
 under this special trust and confidence, that as soon as the said

 and founded, the said trustees, and the longest livers or liver of

 them, and his or their heirs or assigns, by good and sufficient as- 
 surances in law, should give, grant, and transfer to the said President 
 and masters, or professors, of the College aforesaid, the entire re- 
 venue aforesaid, with all profits, issues and emoluments of the same, 
 or so much thereof as should not be expended and laid out in the uses 
 aforesaid ; to be held, possessed, and enjoyed by the said President and 
 masters, or professors, and their successors, for ever. And further, did 
 give and grant to the said Francis Nicholson, William Cole, and 
 the rest of the trustees aforesaid, and the longest livers or liver of 
 them, and to his or their heirs, the office of surveyor-general of the 
 colony of Virginia aforesaid, if the said office should then be va- 
 cant: To be had, held, and exercised with all perquisites, fees, 
 allowances, profits, commodities, advantages, liberties, places and 
 pre-eminences to the said office belonging or appertaining, in as 
 ample manner and form as any other person having, exercising, or 
 enjoying the said office ever had, received, or enjoyed, or might 
 have had, received or enjoyed the same, by the said trustees, and 
 their heirs, or by such officers and deputies as they, or the major 
 part of them, or of the longest livers of them, and their heirs, should, 
 from time to time, nominate and appoint, until the said College 
 should be actually founded and erected. But under this express 
 intent, and special trust and confidence, that the said Francis Nich- 
 olson, William Cole, and the rest of the trustees aforesaid, and the 
 longest livers of them, and their heirs, as soon as the said college 
 should be actually erected and founded, should render unto the 
 President and masters, or professors, of the said College, for the 
 time being, whatsoever should remain of the monies arising from that 
 office during their administration, which should not be before laid 
 out in erecting the said College, and the other uses aforesaid. And 
 of their further grace did give, grant, and confirm, for themselves, 
 their heirs and successors, to the said Francis Nicholson, William 
 Cole, and the rest of the trustees aforesaid, ten thousand acres of 
 land, not before legally occupied and possessed by any other of 
 their subjects, lying and being on the south side of Black-water 
 swamp: and also other ten thousand acres of land, not before It-ally 
 occupied or possessed by any other of their subjects, lyin^ and 
 beiii'j; in that isthmus commonly called I'amnnkey neck, between 
 the forks or branches of York river; which twenty thousand acres

 sured in the plae. :id, whensoever it should please the said

 To be held to them the said Francis Nicholson, William Cole, and

 the rest of the trustees aforesaid, and their heirs, for ever. Never- 
 theless to this intent, and upon this special trust and confidence, 
 that the said trustees, or the major part of them, or of the longest 
 livers of them, when the said College should be founded and es- 
 tablished, should give, grant, bargain, and alien the twenty thousand 
 acres aforesaid to the President and masters, or professors of the 
 College aforesaid; to be held to them, and 'their successors, for ever, 
 by fealty, in free and common soccage, as by the said letters patents,, 
 among other things therein contained, relation being thereunto had, 
 more fully and at large doth and may appear. And whereas divers 
 well disposed charitable persons, for encouraging and furthering so 
 good a work, did give unto the said trustees sundry sums of money, 
 amounting to two thousand pounds sterling, and upwards: and the 
 General Assembly of the colony aforesaid, by one act of Assembly 
 made in the fourth year of the reign of the late Queen Anne, en- 
 titled, An act for laying an imposition upon skins and furs, for the 
 better support of the College of William and Mary, did lay certain 
 duties upon raw hides and tanned hides, and upon all deer skins 
 and furs that should be exported and carried out of the said colony, 
 either by land or water, to be paid to her said majesty, her heirs 
 and successors, for and towards the better support and maintenance 
 of the said College, as in the said act is more fully expressed. And 
 her said late majesty, Queen Anne, in the year of her 
 
 reign, was graciously pleased to give unto the said trustees the sum 
 of one thousand pounds sterling, out of the money arising from the 
 quit-rents of the said colony. And whereas the said trustees since 
 the granting the said letters patents, did purchase one certain parcel 
 of land, containing three hundred and thirty acres, lying and being 
 in the parish of Bruton, in the county of James City, near the City 
 of Williamsburg, for the consideration of one hundred and seventy 
 pounds, which was sold and conveyed to the said trustees by 
 Thomas Ballard by his certain indenture bearing date the twentieth 
 day of December, one thousand six hundred and ninety-three : and 
 have expended divers considerable sums of money in maintaining 
 and supporting a grammar school, for the immediate education of 
 the youth of the said colony, in the Latin and Greek tongues, until 
 the said College should be actually founded as aforesaid, and the 
 number of masters, or professors, in the said letters patents men- 
 tioned, made complete : And did also cause to be erected, on part 
 of the said purchased lands, in the parish of Bruton aforesaid, by 
 the appointment of the General Assembly of the said colony, a 
 convenient building of brick for the said College, which some time

 in the month of October, in the year of our Lord, one thousand 
 seven hundred and five, happened to be destroyed by fire ; but by 
 the care of the surviving trustees hath been since rebuilt there, more 
 conveniently than before, and is now fitted with a hall, and conve- 
 nient apartments for the schools, and for the lodging of the Presi- 
 dent, masters, and scholars, and hath in it a convenient chamber 
 set apart for a Library, besides all other offices necessary for the said 
 College, and is adorned with a handsome garden; whereby the 
 several sums of money, so as aforesaid contributed, for the carrying 
 on of this work, and the rents, issues and profits, and emoluments, 
 of the said twenty thousand acres of land, and the other revenues 
 aforesaid, have hitherto been in a great measure exhausted, and the 
 founding of the said College delayed and hindered. And whereas 
 the said surviving trustees, pursuant to the trust in them reposed, 
 have established in the said Coilege one school of sacred theology, 
 and one other school of philosophy, besides the grammar school 
 aforesaid, and have appointed certain masters or professors in each 
 of the said schools; that is to say, two masters in the theology 
 school, two other masters in the philosophy school, and one in the 
 grammar school ; and have chosen and appointed Earth olomevr 
 Yates, late of the parish of Christ Church, in the county of Middle- 
 sex, in the colony of Virginia, clerk, and Francis Fontain, late of 
 the parish of York Hampton, in the county of York, in the colony 
 aforesaid, clerk, masters or professors of theology ; and Alexander 
 Irwin, of the city of Williamsburg aforesaid, gentleman, and Wil- 
 liam Dawson, late of Queen College, in Oxford, clerk, masters or 
 professors of philosophy; and Joshua Fry, of Williamsburg afore- 
 said, gentleman, master of the grammar school in the said College. 
 And whereas the honorable Robert Boyle, Esq., deceased, being in 
 his life-time possessed of a personal estate to the value of ten thou- 
 sand pounds, and being minded to leave the greatest part thereof 
 to be employed for charitable uses, about the eighteenth of July, in 
 the year of our Lord one thousand six hundred and ninety-one, 
 made his last will and testament in writing, and did thereby, and 
 by one or more codicils, direct that the residue of his personal es- 
 tate, after debts and legacies paid, should be disposed of by his 
 executors for such charitable and pious uses as they in their discre- 
 tion should think fit; but recommended unto them tin- laying out 
 tin; greatest part thereof for advancement of the Christian religion; 
 and made the right honorable Richard, earl of llnrlinglon, Sir

 gating the Christian religion amongst infidels; and had agreed with 
 Sir Samuel Gerrard for the purchase of the manor of Brafferton, in 
 the county of York, for the sum of five thousand four hundred 
 pounds, and upon payment thereof, the said Sir Samuel Gerrard 
 was to convey the said estate to them and their heirs ; and for the 
 settling the said charity had agreed on the methods following, that 
 out of the said manor the said executors should grant a rent charge 
 in perpetuity of ninety pounds per annum to the company, for pro- 
 pagating the gospel in New England, and the parts adjacent, in 
 America, and their successors, to be paid at Guildhall in London, 
 yearly at Michaelmas and Lady-day, by equal portions, clear of 
 taxes; and that the said company should apply forty-five pounds 
 per annum, one moiety thereof, for the salary of two ministers to 
 instruct the natives, in or near his majesty's colonies in New Eng- 
 land, in the Christian religion ; and the other forty-five pounds per 
 -annum, residue of the said rent charge, the said company, and their 
 successors were to transmit unto the President and fellows of Har- 
 vard College, in Cambridge, in New England, and their successors, 
 to be by them employed and bestowed for the salary of two other 
 ministers to teach the said natives, in or near the College there, the 
 Christian religion; and that the said manor, subject to the said 
 ninety pounds per annum, should be conveyed to the mayor, com- 
 monalty, and citizens of London, and their successors, upon trust, 
 that the rents and profits thereof, over and above the said ninety 
 pounds per annum, receiver's salary, and other incident charges de- 
 ducted, should be laid out for the advancement of the Christian re- 
 ligion in Virginia, in such manner and subject to such methods and 
 rules as the said earl of Burlington, and the Bishop of London, for 
 the time being, should, under their hands and seals, appoint, so as 
 .such appointment were made on Lady-day, one thousand six hun- 
 dred and ninety-seven, and confirmed by the decree of the high 
 court of chancery. But there being delays in the said purchase, 
 some time in Trinity term, in the year of our Lord, one thousand 
 six hundred and ninety- five, sir Thomas Trevor, knight, attorney- 
 general q his then majesty, and dame Elizabeth Gerrard, and 
 Thomas Owen, executors of the last will and testament of the said 
 sir Samuel Gerrard, late deceased, exhibited their bill in the high 
 court of chancery against the right honorable Richard, earl of Bur-

 lington, sir Henry Ashurst, knight and Baronet, and John Marr, 
 gentleman, executors of the last will and testament of the honora- 
 ble Robert Boyle, Esq., deceased: And the said dame Elizabeth 
 Gerrard, and Thomas Owen, being desirous to go on with the said 
 purchase, to that end prayed the said defendants might be decreed 
 to pay the said five thousand four hundred purchase money, on 
 conveyance of a good estate in fee simple. And in as much as it 
 was the proper work of the said court to see charitable uses pur- 
 sued, the said attorney-general prayed that the defendants might 
 go on with the said purchase, and be decreed to settle the 
 rents thereof on such pious uses as were agreed on, in case the 
 same were according to the testator's mind, or otherwise, as the 
 court should direct: To which bill the said defendants put in 
 their answer, whereupon, and upon the debate of the matters, 
 and hearing what was alleged on either side, the court thought 
 fit, upon the first day of August, one thousand six hundred and 
 ninety-five, to decree that it should be referred to one of the mas- 
 ters of the said court to take an account of the personal estate of 
 the said testator, Robert Boyle, which had come to the hands of the 
 defendants, and to examine and certify whether the five thousand 
 four hundred pounds, agreed to be laid out in the said purchase, 
 were the major part of the said testator's personal estate, and whether 
 the value of the said manor and lands were equivalent to the pur- 
 chase money agreed to be paid for the same : upon whose report it 
 was, upon the eighth day of August, in the seventh year of the 
 reign of the late king William the third, ordered and decreed, that 
 the defendants should proceed on the said purchase, for the said 
 sum of five thousand four hundred pounds ; and that the rules and 
 methods, touching the disposition of the said charity, before mcn- 
 tionod, should 1m and were thereby ratified and confirmed, with 
 this further addition only, that the yearly account of the said ninety 
 pounds per annum, after the death of the said earl of Burlington 
 ami sir Henry Ashurst, should be sent to the President of Trinity 
 College, in Oxford, for the time l)eiii;_r. as well as to the several heirs 
 of the earl of Burlington and sir Henry Ashurst, of which Col: 
 the said Koherf IJoyle was a member. And it was further decreed, 
 that after the said purchase made, (he said defendants should irrant 
 the said rent charire of ninety pounds per annum, to the said com- 
 pany, for propa'.Mtin:/ the gospel in NY\v Kn^land, and parts adjacent,

 of London, and their successors, subject to the trusts and purposes 
 in the aforesaid rules and agreements made concerning the same. 
 In pursuance of which decree, the said earl of Burlington, and 
 Henry, lord bishop of London, agreed on, and appointed certain 
 rules and methods for the settlement of the said charity in Virginia,, 
 under their hands and seals, bearing date the twenty-first day of 
 December, one thousand six hundred and ninety-seven, to the pur- 
 port and effect herein after mentioned, that is to say : first, that all 
 the yearly rents and profits of the said manor of Brafferton, as well 
 those incurred due since the purchase thereof, as which should 
 thereafter grow due, after the deduction thereout of ninety pounds. 
 a year to the College for propagating the gospel in New-England,, 
 and other necessary or incident charges, should be by the present 
 or future receivers of the rents thereof paid into the hands of 
 Micajah Perry of London, merchant, agent in London for the Presi- 
 dent and masters of the College of William and Mary, in Virginia,, 
 and to all future agent and agents in England, for the said College,, 
 for the time being, for the purposes thereafter mentioned, and such 
 agent or agents receipts and acquittances, should be sufficient dis- 
 charges to such receiver or receivers for what should be so paid.. 
 Secondly, all sum and sums of money already or that should there- 
 after be received out of the said manor, subject to the deductions- 
 aforesaid, should be thereafter remitted to the said President and 
 masters for the time being. Thirdly, that the said President and 
 masters, and his and their successors, should thereout expend so- 
 much as should be necessary towards fitting and furnishing lodgings, 
 and rooms for such Indian children as should be thereafter brought 
 into the said College. Fourthly, the said President and masters,, 
 and his or their successors, should keep at the said College so many 
 Indian children in sickness and health, in meat, drink, washing,, 
 lodging, clothes, medicines, books and education, from the first 
 beginning of letters till they should be ready to receive orders, and 
 be thought sufficient to be sent abroad to preach and convert the 
 Indians, at the rate of fourteen pounds per annum for every such 
 child, as the yearly income of the premises, subject to the deduc- 
 tion aforesaid should amount to. Fifthly, that the care, instruction, 
 and education of such children as should be thereafter placed in 
 the said College, should be left to the President and masters thereof,, 
 for the time being, but yet subject therein as they were for all their 
 trusts to the visitation and inspection of the rector and governors, 
 of the said College, for the time being. Sixthly, that the said Presi- 
 dent and masters, and his and their successors, should once every 
 
28 THE TRANSFER. 
 
 year transmit to the earl of Burlington, and lord bishop of London, 
 for the time being, a particular account of what sum and sums of 
 money they should hereafter receive by virtue of the said decree, as 
 also lay out or expend on all or any the matters aforesaid, and the 
 occasion or occasions thereof, as also the number and names of the 
 Indian children that should thereafter be brought into the said 
 College, together with their progress or proficiency in their studies, 
 and of all other matters relating thereto. Seventhly, that the laying 
 out the money from time to time thereafter, to be remitted, as also 
 the manner and method of educating and instructing such children, 
 and all other matters relating to this charity, or the execution of it, 
 should be subject to such other rules and methods, as should from 
 time to time thereafter, be transmitted to the said President and 
 masters, and his and their successors, by the earl of Burlington, and 
 lord bishop of London, for the time being, and in default thereof to 
 such rules and methods as the rectors and governors of the said 
 -College, for the time being, should make or appoint: But until such 
 other and further rules were made, the rules and directions thereby 
 :given were to take place. Eighthly, and lastly, that the name of 
 the benefactor might not be forgotten, the said earl of Burlington and 
 bishop of London did direct and appoint that the said charity should 
 thereafter be called The Charity of the Honorable Robert Boyle, 
 Esq., of the city of London, deceased. And afterwards at the humble 
 petition of the defendants, preferred to the lord high chancellor of 
 England, praying a day for his lordship's directions for the consti- 
 tution of the said rules and methods for the settlement of the said 
 ^charity in Virginia ; the right honorable John, lord Somers, baron of 
 Eversham, lord high chancellor of England, the ninth day of June, 
 one thousand six hundred and ninety-eight, ordered, adjudged, and 
 drcreed that the said rules and methods, and all and every of the 
 matters and things therein contained, should be ratified, confirmed 
 and established, with the additions and alterations herein after 
 mentioned, viz: In the sixth rule, that the yearly account therein 
 appointed to be transmitted to the earl of Burlington, and lord 
 bishop of London, for the time being, should be, from time to time, 
 by the said earl and bishop, transmitted into the said court to be 
 filed by the register thereof. And whereas in the seventh rule it is 
 mentioned that tin; laying out the money, the manner of educating 
 the children, and all other matters relating to the said charity or 
 the execution of it, should be subject to such other rules and 
 methods as should, from time- to time thereafter, be transmitted to 
 the said President and masters, and his and their raoOOMOIV, by the 
 
THE TRANSFER. 29 
 
 said earl of Burlington and bishop of London, for the time being, 
 or in default thereof to such rules and methods as the rector and 
 governors of the said college, for the time being, should make or 
 appoint : it was ordered, that such other rules and methods, touch- 
 ing the charity, at any time so made or appointed, should be first 
 confirmed and approved of by the said honorable court. And it 
 was further ordered, that Micajah Perry, of London, merchant, 
 should be allowed the receiver of the rents and profits of the said 
 trust estate, for the purpose in the said rules and methods men- 
 tioned, who was, from time to time, to appoint a receiver under him 
 of the said rents until further order; and also, from time to time, 
 to take and allow such receiver's accounts yearly, and to take the 
 Account of the then receiver of the said rents, and of the arrears in 
 his hands, since the time of the said purchase, as by the proceed- 
 ings and decree of the high court of chancery, in the same court 
 remaining, as of record, relation being thereunto had, more fully, 
 and at large, doth, and may appear. And whereas by reason of the 
 delays in founding the said College, and in completing the full 
 number of masters, by the said letters patents required, the clear 
 rents of the said manor of Brafferton have hitherto been paid to 
 the surviving trustees aforesaid, who have from time to time, ap- 
 plied the same to the education and maintaining such a number of 
 Indian children as could be procured ; and out of the said charity 
 have caused to be erected one convenient building of brick, for an. 
 Indian school, and for the lodgings of such Indian children as shall 
 hereafter be brought into the said College ; and for the educating of 
 them from the first beginning of letters till they should be ready to- 
 receive orders, and be thought sufficient to be sent abroad to preach 
 and convert the Indians, have appointed a master who is called the 
 Indian master, and shall hereafter be deemed the sixth master or 
 professor of the said College, and into the place of that master have 
 chosen, nominated and appointed Richard Cocke, gentleman. And 
 whereas by one act of Assembly, made in the fourth year of the 
 reign of his late majesty king George the first, of blessed memory, 
 entitled, An act for granting one thousand pounds out of the public 
 fund for the maintaining and educating of scholars at the College of 
 William and Mary, in Virginia, it is enacted, that the said sum of 
 one thousand pounds current money of Virginia, should be paid to 
 the governors and visitors of said College, to be by them laid out to 
 the best advantage for maintaining and educating such and so many 
 ingenious scholars as to them and their successors should seem fit 
 and expedient, having regard in their elections principally to the

 learning, virtue and straitened circumstances of such children, and 
 that all natives of the said colony, and no other, should he freely 
 admitted to the said scholarships : Pursuant to which act, the sum 
 of one hundred and fifty pounds, current money of Virginia, hath 
 heen laid out in the purchase of one certain tract or parcel of land, 
 -containing two thousand one hundred and nineteen acres, lying and 
 being on both sides of Nottoway river, in the counties of Prince 
 George, Surry, and Brunswick; and one other sum of four hundred 
 and seventy-six pounds four shillings, of the like money, hath been 
 laid out in the purchase of seventeen negro slaves, to be employed 
 in tilling and manuring the said lands; and the sum of three hun- 
 dred and seventy-three pounds sixteen shillings, residue of the said 
 sum of one thousand pounds, for the present, is placed out at in- 
 terest, the profits of which land and negroes, and the interest of the 
 said money, being judged not sufficient to maintain more than 
 three scholars, after the rate of twelve pounds per annum for each 
 scholar, three scholarships are accordingly settled and appointed 
 pursuant to the said act of Assembly. And whereas, Edward Hill, 
 late of the county of Charles City, Esq., deceased, by his last 
 will and testament, bearing date the day of in the 
 
 year did give and bequeath unto the said College the sum 
 
 of one hundred and fifty pounds, to be paid at certain times, in the 
 said will mentioned ; which said sum the said trustees have agreed to 
 apply towards the better furnishing the library of the said College 
 with books. And for continuing the succession of the visitors and 
 governors of the said College, the said trustees, as often as any of 
 their number departed this life, or removed him or themselves, and 
 his or their families out of the said colony, with design not to return, 
 have, from time to time, chosen, nominated, and appointed some 
 other person or persons of the principal inhabitants of the said 
 colony into his or their places ; and the said Stephen Fouace, many 
 years ago, having removed himself and his family into foreign parts, 
 the present governors and visitors of the said College do consist of 
 the following persons, that is to say, the said James Blair, rector, 
 the honorable William Gooch, Esq., his majesty's lieutenant-governor 
 and commander in chief of the said colony, Alexander Spottswood, 
 Esq., late lieutenant-governor of the said colony, Robert Carter, of 
 the county of Lancaster, William I>yrd, of the county of Charles 
 City, Mann Page, of the county of Gloucester, Cole hiiu's, of the

 established certain ordinances and statutes for the better ordering 
 and governing the said College and all persons enjoying any office 
 or residing therein, which are set forth in a certain schedule annexed 
 to these presents. And for as much as the determining the trust 
 aforesaid, and completing the said College, which has been long 
 delayed by the said fire, and the low state of the revenues aforesaid, 
 is adjudged absolutely necessary for promoting the welfare thereof, 
 and the advancement of learning therein ; and the General Assem- 
 bly of the colony aforesaid, hath lately contributed two hundred 
 pounds per annum for one and twenty years for better carrying on 
 the said work. Now know ye, that we the said James Blair and 
 Stephen Fouace, being the only surviving trustees before named, in

HISTORICAL SKETCH* 
 
 OF THE 
 
 COLLEGE OF WILLIAM AND MARY, 
 
 I2ST 
 
 Soon after the settlement at Jamestown (1607) fifteen thousand 
 acres of land were appropriated at the instance of Sir Edwin Sandys, 
 President of the Company in England, to endow a University, to be 
 established at Henrico, for the colonists and Indians. About the 
 same time (1619) fifteen hundred pounds were contributed in Eng- 
 land, through the bishops, to endow a College in Virginia for the 
 Indians ; and a little later (1621) one hundred and fifty pounds 
 were subscribed to endow the East India School at Charles City> 
 and one thousand acres of land, five servants and an overseer 
 allotted to it. This was designed to be preparatory to the Univer- 
 sity at Henrico. Mr. George Thorpe, a gentleman of his majesty's 
 privy chamber, came over to be superintendent of the University, 
 but was, on the 22d March, 1622, with three hundred and forty of 
 the colonists, including a number of the College tenants, killed by 
 the Indians. 
 
 Thus was defeated the first attempt to establish a College in Vir- 
 ginia. No further steps seem to have been taken in this direction 
 till 1660-61, when the "Grand Assembly," held at James City, 
 March 23d of that year, passed an act entitled " Provision for a Col- 
 ledge," in these words : 
 
 " Whereas the want of able and faithful ministers in this country 
 deprives us of those great blessings and mercies that ahvai.s attend 
 upon the service of God; which want, by reason of our irn>at dis- 
 tance from our native country, cannot in probability be alwais sup- 
 plyed from thence; Be it enacted, that for the advance of learning, 
 education of youth, supply of the ministry, and promotion of piety,

 houseing erected thereon for entertainment of students and schol- 
 lers." 
 
 This act was passed in the 13th Charles II. 
 
 Again, at the same session of the " Grand Assembly," Act 35th 
 was passed, entitled "A Petition in behalf of the Church." " Be it 
 enacted, that there be a petition drawn up by this Grand Assem- 
 bly to the King's Most Excellent Majestie for his letters pattents to 
 collect and gather the charity of well disposed people in England 
 for the erecting of colledges and schooles in this countrie, and also 
 for his Majestie's letters to both Universities of Oxford and Cam- 
 bridge to furnish the church here with ministers for the present, and 
 this petition be recommended to the Right Honorable Governor, 
 Sir William Berkeley." 
 
 Again: "Att a Grand Assembly held att James Cittie, in Virginia, 
 23d March, 1660-61, the following order was made in the govern- 
 ment of the Right Honorable Sir William Berkeley, his Majestie's 
 Governor, Mr. Henry Soanes, Speaker : 
 
 " Whereas, for the advancement of learning, promoting piety, and 
 provision of an able and successive ministrie in this countrie, it 
 hath been thought fit that a Colledge of students of the liberal arts 
 and sciences be erected and maintayned, in pursuance whereof his 
 Majestie's Governor, Council of State and Burgesses of the present 
 Grand Assembly have severally subscribed several considerable 
 sums of money and quantities of tobacco (out of their charity and 
 devotion), to be paid to the Honorable Grand Assembly, or such 
 treasurer or treasurers as they shall now, or their successors here- 
 after at any time appoint, upon demand, after a place is provided 
 and built upon for that intent and purpose : it is ordered that the 
 commissioners of the severall county courts do, at the next follow- 
 inge courts in their severall countys, subscribe such sums of money 
 and tobacco towards the furthering and promoting the said persons 
 and necessary worke, to be paid by them or their heirs, as they shall 
 think fitt, and that they also take the subscriptions of such other 
 persons at their said courts who shall be willing to contribute to- 
 wards the same. And that after such subscriptions taken, they 
 send orders to the vestrys of the severall parishes in their severall 
 countys for the subscriptions of such inhabitants and others who 
 have not already subscribed, and that the same be returned to 
 Francis Morrison. Esq." 
 
 For these acts and order, see 2d volume Henning's "Statutes at 
 Large." 
 
 At a Grand Assembly held at James City, March 23, 1661-62, an 
 
36 HISTOEICAL SKETCH. 
 
 act to make " Provision for a Colledge,"* the same as that of 1860-61, 
 was passed. Thus was begun and endowed " The Colledge" in Vir- 
 ginia as early as 1660-61. 
 
 It was appropriated for by the tc Grand Assembly" in lands, sub- 
 scribed for by members of the goverment, council and House of Bur- 
 gesses, and contributed to by the Crown, subscribed to by the mem- 
 bers of the county courts and parish vestries, and by private indi- 
 viduals largely, and, doubtless, under the regular clergy of the 
 Church of England, was the only College where any regular liberal 
 teaching was had for those of the colonists who could not send their 
 sons to the schools of the mother country. Its charter and regular 
 endowments were obstructed by the revolutionary and disturbing 
 events both in England and the colony : the corporation had no 
 other name than " The Colledge " until the fourth year of William 
 and Mary ; it had endowments and was begun as early as 1660-61. 
 That the "Colledge" existed prior to 1693, when it was chartered 
 by the name of William and Mary, is clearly implied by " act in., 
 October, 1693, 5th William and Mary" the preamble of which re- 
 cites the charter. That their Majesties had most graciously pleased 
 upon the humble supplication of the Generall Assembly, by their 
 charter, being dated the eighth day of February, in the fourth year 
 of their reign, to grant their royall lycence certaine trustees, to make, 
 found, erect and establish a college named the College of William 
 and Mary, in Virginia, at a certaine place within this government 
 known by the name of Townsend's Land, and heretofore appointed 
 by the General Assembly. And for Townsend's Land, previously 
 appointed as the place, was substituted (under authority given in 
 the charter, for the reason, without doubt, of the objections to Town- 
 send's Land found by experience to exist to the effect that, " if 
 by reason of unwholesomeness, or any other cause, the said place 
 shall not be approved of, wheresoever else the General Assembly of 
 our colony of Virginia, or the major part of them, shall think fit, 
 witliin the bounds of the aforesaid colony, to continue for all tii. 
 coming") the Middle Plantations, now Williamsbuig, as the place 
 for the College. Thus it appears that the site of "The Col- 
 
 !(.<! .::<" had at some time previous been selected, and that Town- 
 sent IV Land was this site. No plausible reason, unless this be so,

 can be given for the fact that Townsend's Land, not otherwise known, 
 and being in no other respect noteworthy, was the only place of the 
 colony specified in the charter. 
 
 Sir William Berkeley, notwithstanding his prejudices against free 
 schools and printing, favored the order, and promoted the subscrip- 
 tions for a college. The twenty-third enquiry submitted by the 
 Lords Commissioners of Foreign Plantations to him in 1670, and 
 answered in 1671, was, "What course is taken about instructing 
 the people within your government in the Christian religion? and 
 what provision is there made for the paying of your ministry ?" 
 
 Answer. "The same course that is taken in England out of towns ; 
 every man, according to his ability, instructing his children. We 
 have forty-eight parishes, and our ministry are well paid, and, by 
 my consent, should be better, if they would pray oftener and preach 
 less. But of all other commodities, so of this ; the worst are sent 
 us, and we had few that we could boast of since the persecution in 
 Cromwell's tyranny drove divers worthy men hither. But, I thank 
 God, there are no free schools nor printing, and I hope we shall not 
 have these hundred years; for learning has brought disobedience 
 and heresy and sects into the world, and printing has divulged 
 them, and libels against the best government. God keep us from 
 both ! " (33, 2d Henning's Statutes at Large.) 
 
 This shows how aristocratic was the prejudice of the royal Gov- 
 ernor against popular instruction. He was in favor of establishing 
 "a College of liberal arts and sciences" liberal to the gentlemen, 
 but very illiberal to the people. His ideas of "free schools" and 
 "learning" and "printing" must have been a forecast of Bacon's 
 rebellion, which, five years later, drove him from "James Cittie" 
 across the Chesapeake to Old Plantation on the peninsula of North- 
 ampton. 
 
 Thus it is claimed that "The Colledge" was in existence from 
 1660-61, though it had no other name till the fourth year of the 
 reign of William and Mary. The charter constituted trustees of a 
 corporation, but the public and private charity existed in the Grand 
 Assembly, holding by the hands of its treasurer, for the time being, 
 and by Mr. Morrison, its custodian. (This interesting history of the 
 establishment of the "The Colledge" in 1660-61 is condensed from 
 the Appendix to "Seven Decades of the Union," by General Henry 
 A. Wise.) 
 
 In 1688-89, an additional sum of twenty-five hundred pounds 
 sterling was subscribed by a few wealthy Virginians and benevolent 
 English merchants to the endowment of "The Colledge," and the 
 
38 HISTORICAL SKETCH. 
 
 Colonial Assembly, in 1691, sent the Rev. James Blair, afterwards 
 Commissary of Virginia, to solicit a charter from the Crown. 
 
 Queen Mary, to whom Mr. Blair first unfolded the object of his 
 visit, was well pleased with the noble design, and zealously espoused 
 it. William concurred with her, and they gave "out of the quit- 
 rents" two thousand pounds towards the building. Mr. Blair was 
 directed to convey to Seymour, the Attorney General, the royal com- 
 mands to issue the charter. " Seymour remonstrated against this 
 liberality, upon the ground that the nation was engaged in an ex- 
 pensive war; that the money was wanted for better purposes, and 
 that he did not see the slighest occasion for a College in Virginia." 
 The Rev. Mr. Blair represented to him that its intention was to 
 educate and qualify young men to be ministers of the Gospel, and 
 begged Mr. Attorney would consider that the people of Virginia had 
 souls to be saved as well as the people of England. "Souls!" ex- 
 claimed the imperious Seymour; "damn your souls, make tobacco!" 
 The charter of the College was prepared, however, and signed on 
 the 8th day of February, in the fourth year of the reign of William 
 and Mary, which date corresponds under the new style with the 
 19th February, 1693. It was granted "to the end" (nearly identical 
 with that given in the act of 1660-61) "that the church of Virginia 
 may be furnished with a seminary of ministers of the Gospel, and 
 that the youth may be piously educated in good letters and manners, 
 and that the Christian faith may be propagated amongst the Wes- 
 tern Indians to the glory of Almighty God." The charter, as has 
 been stated, fixed the location of the College on the land of Colonel 
 Townsend, on the south side of York river, near Yorktown. This 
 is supposed to be Shield's Point. " If, by reason of unwholesome- 
 ness or any other cause, the said place shall not be approved of," 
 the College is to be established "wheresoever else the General As- 
 sembly of our Colony of Virginia, or the major part of them, shall 
 tli ink fit, within the bounds of the aforesaid Colony, to continue for 
 all times coining." 
 
 In the exercise of the power conferred on the General Assembly 
 to move the College from Townsend's land, the 3d act of the As- 
 sembly in the fifth year of the reign of William and Mary, before 
 !, provides : "That Middle Plantation (now Williamsburg) be 
 j.hice for the said College of William and Mary in Vir- 
 
 ginia, and that the said CoHeire he at that place eivctrd and built as 
 re the church now standing in Middle Plantation old fields as 
 convenience will permitt." 
 
 Trustees named in the charter were constituted the body corpo-

 rate to establish the College, and to appoint masters or professors, 
 but were required after the establishment to transfer to the Presi- 
 dent, Masters or Professors, or their successors, the lands, inheritances, 
 chattels, &c.* 
 
 The trustees elected by the General Assembly, to whom the royal 
 license was granted, were Francis Nicholson, Lieutenant-Governor 
 of the Colonies of Virginia and Maryland ; William Cole, Ralph 
 Wormley, William Byrd and John Lear, Esquires; John Blair, 
 John Farnifold, Stephen Fouace and Samuel Gray, Clerks ; Thomas 
 Milner, Christopher Robinson, Charles Scarborough, John Smith, 
 Benjamin Harrison, Miles Carey, Henry Hartwell, William Ran- 
 dolph and Matthew Page, gentlemen! 
 
 The charter further provides, that the College "shall be called and 
 denominated forever 'the College of William and Mary, in Vir- 
 ginia;' and 'the President and Masters, or Professors of the said 
 College, shall be a body politic in deed and in name.' " 
 
 It was further provided, that after the transfer of the corporate 
 powers, the trustees should be " the true, sole and undoubted visi- 
 tors and governors of the College." 
 
 The charter confirms to the President and Masters, or Professors, 
 that there shall be a chancellor of the College; appoints "the Rev- 
 erend Father in God, Henry ,f by Divine permission, Bishop of 
 London," first chancellor, and requires that the visitors and gov- 
 ernors of the College shall elect a discreet person to this office every 
 seven years. 
 
 Towards the endowment of the College, William and Mary con- 
 tributed one thousand nine hundred and eighty-five pounds four- 
 teen shillings and tenpence, raised out of the quit-rents of the 
 colony, and at that time in the hands of William Byrd, Auditor ; 
 one penny a pound on all tobacco exported from Virginia and 
 Maryland; the office of Surveyor General, with all its issues, fees, 
 profits, advantages, conveniences, liberties, places, privileges, and 
 pre-eminences whatsoever ; ten thousand acres of land lying on the 
 south side of Blackwater swamp, and ten thousand acres lying in 
 that neck of land, commonly called Pamunkey neck, between the 
 forks of York river. 
 
 The faculty had the right to elect either one of their own body,

 habitants of the colony," to represent the College in the House of 
 Burgesses. 
 
 The College building was planned by Sir Christopher Wren, and 
 it was designed, says Beverly, "to be an entire square when com- 
 pleted." The first commencement exercises were held in 1700, " at 
 which there was a great concourse of people ; several planters came 
 thither in coaches, and others in sloops from New York, Pennsyl- 
 vania and Maryland, it being a new thing in that part of America 
 to hear graduates perform their exercises. The Indians had the 
 curiosity, some of them, to visit Williamsburg upon that occasion ; 
 and the whole country rejoiced, as if they had some relish of learn- 
 ing."* 
 
 The General Assembly of Virginia "was held at his Majesty's 
 Royal College of William and Mary," from 1700 until 1705, when, 
 together with library and philosophical apparatus, it was destroyed 
 by fire. " The fire broke out about ten o'clock at night, in a public 
 time. The Governor and all the gentlemen that were in town came 
 up to the lamentable spectacle, many getting out of their beds. 
 But the fire had got such power before it was discovered, and was 
 so fierce, that there was no hope of putting a stop to it, and there- 
 fore no attempts were made to that end." The second building was 
 commenced in the time of Governor Spotswood, but owing to the 
 want of available means, and the scarcity of workmen, it was not 
 finished until 1723. 
 
 (Extract from Beverly^s History of Virginia, 1722.) 
 
 " The College was burned in the first year of Governor Nott's time, (how, 
 was not known.) It was not rebuilt till Governor Spotswood's time, when it 
 was raised to the same bigness as before." 
 
 (Extract from Present State of Virginia, by Ilugli Jones, 1729.) 
 
 "The College front, which looks due east, is double, and is 136 feet long. 
 At the north end runs back a large wing, which is a handsome hall, :m\v -ru-

 In 1719 it was occupied by the convention of the colonial clergy. 
 
 Now that the College was fully established, the transfer of the 
 corporate rights was shortly made to the faculty in 1729, and the 
 trustees became "the visitors and governors of the College of Wil- 
 liam and Mary, in Virginia." 
 
 The first entry in the oldest record book of the faculty is, " In 
 nomine Dei, Patris, Filii et Spiritus Sancti, Amen." Until the Rev- 
 olution the bishops of London, with a single interregnum, were 
 chancellors of the College. On the 18th of January, 1764, the Earl 
 of Hardwicke had been elected chancellor ; but the intelligence of 
 this did not arrive in England until after his death, of which his 
 son and successor in the title wrote to apprise the faculty. Before 
 the war of Independence its presidents were the commissaries or 
 representatives, in the colony, of the bishops of London; and since 
 the Revolution Bishop Madison and other distinguished divines, in- 
 cluding the Right Reverend John Johns, now Bishop of Virginia, 
 have presided over it. Indeed, every Bishop of Virginia has been 
 connected with it. As soon as established, the College became the 
 nursery of the church in Virginia, and at later periods proved an 
 efficient support in times of adversity. 
 
 Bishop Meade, in " Old Churches, Ministers and Families of Vir- 
 ginia," says : " One thing is set forth in praise of William and Mary 
 which we delight to record, viz : that the hopes and designs of its 
 founders and early benefactors, in relation to its being a nursery of 
 pious ministers, were not entirely disappointed. It is positively 
 affirmed, by those most competent to speak, that the best ministers 
 in Virginia were those educated at the College and sent over to Eng- 
 land for ordination. The foreigners were the great scandal of the 
 church." 
 
 The condition upon which twenty thousand acres of land were 
 given to the College was, that the President and Professors should 
 pay annually, on the 5th of November, two copies of Latin verses 
 to the governor or lieutenant-governor of the Dominion of Virginia. 
 That this was complied with, we may infer from the following ex- 
 tract from the Virginia Gazette of November 12th, 1736: "On this 
 day sen'night, being the 5th of November, the President, masters 
 and scholars of William and Mary College went, according to their 
 annual custom, in a body to the Governor's to present his honor 
 with two copies of Latin verses, in obedience to their charter, as a 
 grateful acknowledgment for two valuable tracts of land given the 
 said College by their late King William and Queen Mary. Mr. 
 President delivered the verses to his honor, and two of the young 
 
42 HISTORICAL SKETCH. 
 
 gentlemen spoke them. It is further observed that there were 
 upwards of sixty scholars present, a much greater number than has 
 been any year before since the foundation of the College." 
 
 The colonial governors, for the most part, took an active interest 
 in the welfare of the College. 
 
 (Extract from Millers Retrospect, II. 378.) 
 
 "Lord Botetoiirt attended morning and evening prayers in the College 
 chapel." 
 
 WELD, in his travels, 1798, says : " The stature of Lord Botetourt" (now be- 
 longing to the College) "was defaced, and the head and arm knocked off 
 during the war (Revolutionary) when party rage was at its highest pitch, and 
 everything pertaining to royalty obnoxious." 
 
 Lord Botetourt gave a sum of money, the interest of which was 
 sufficient to purchase annually two gold medals one to be given to 
 the best classical scholar, the other to the best scholar in philosophy. 
 This medal was annually awarded until the Revolution. The first 
 competitors for the Episcopate of Virginia, the Rev. James Madison 
 and the Rev. Samuel Shield, both received this medal ; the former 
 in 1772, the latter in 1773. 
 
 This medal was also conferred on Mr. Nathaniel Burwell in 1772 ; 
 Mr. David Stewart, of King George, 1773 ; on Mr. Joseph Eggleston, 
 of Amelia, 1774; and the same year, on Mr. Walker Maury, of Wil- 
 liamsburg ; and in 1775, on Mr. John White, of King William, and 
 Mr. Thomas Evans, of the Eastern Shore of Virginia. 
 
 The Hon. Robert Boyle, who died in 1691, in his will directed his 
 executors, the Right Hon. Richard, Earl of Burlington, Sir Henry 
 Ashurst, Knight and Baronet, and John Marr, gentleman, "to apply 
 his personal estate to such charitable and pious uses as they, in 
 their discretion, should think fit." After some litigation in Eng- 
 land, in pursuance of a decree of court, the Earl of Burlington and 
 Henry, Lord Bishop of London, agreed, on the 21st of December, 
 1697, to bestow the charity m Virginia, arran^in^ that the annual 
 rents, subject to ninety pounds, given to Harvard University at 
 Cambridge, Massachusetts, should be paid to the President and 
 Professors of the Culle^e of William and .Mary in Virginia, lor the 
 purpose of maintaining and edueatin.-j; Indian seholar>. The fund

 in which North Carolina had been engaged, Governor Spotswood 
 demanded of the tribes tributary to Virginia a number of the sons 
 of the chiefs, to be sent to the College of William and Mary, where 
 they served as hostages to keep the peace, and enjoyed the advan- 
 tage of learning to read and write English, and were instructed in 
 the Christian religion. But on returning to their own people, they 
 relapsed into idolatry and barbarism." 
 
 (Extract from the "Present State of Virginia, by Hugh Jones," published in 
 
 London in 1724.) 
 
 Speaking of the Indian school of the College, he says : " The young Indians, 
 procured from the tributary or foreign nations with much difficulty, were for- 
 merly boarded and lodged in town, where abundance of them used to die, 
 either through sickness, change of provision and way of life, or, as some will 
 have it, often for want of proper necessaries and due care taken with them. 
 Those of them that have escaped well, and have been taught to read and 
 write, have, for the most part, returned to their home, some with and some 
 without baptism, where they follow their own savage customs and heathenish 
 rites. A few of them lived as servants with the English, or loitered and idled 
 away their tune in laziness and mischief. But it is a pity more care is not 
 taken of them after they are dismissed from school. They have admirable ca- 
 pacities when their humors and tempers are perfectly understood." 
 
 The foundation of the President's house was laid on the 31st of 
 July, 1732 the President (the Rev. James Blair), Mr. Dawson (af- 
 terwards Commissary of Virginia), Mr. Fry (afterwards Colonel Fry, 
 under whom Washington served), Mr. Stith (the historian), and Mr. 
 Fox, laying the first five bricks in order one after another. During 
 the American Revolution this building was burnt whilst it was oc- 
 cupied by the French troops, before the siege of Yorktown; but 
 Louis XVI. generously rebuilt it, and about this time presented five 
 or six hundred volumes of great value to the library of the College. 
 The walls, however, had not been much injured by the fire. 
 
 The old chapel was first opened on the 28th of June, 1732, and 
 the Rev. James Blair, the President, preached a sermon from the 
 text: "Train up a child in the way he should go, and when he is 
 old he will not depart from it." Prov. xxii. 6. In " Old Churches 
 and Families of Virginia," Bishop Meade says : " Williamsburg was 
 once the miniature copy of the Court of St. James, somewhat aping 
 the manners of that royal place, while the old church and its grave- 
 yard, and the College chapel were si licet cum magnis componere 
 parva the Westminster Abbey and the St. Paul's of London, where 
 the great ones were interred." Sir John Randolph was the first 
 person buried in the College chapel.

 "So Williainsburg, while it was the seat of government and of the College 
 of William and Mary, was, to a great extent, Virginia." 
 
 The remains of Lord Botetourt rest, it is believed, in the same 
 vault with those of Sir John Randolph. 
 
 Peyton Randolph, the President of the first American Congress, 
 and John Randolph, Attorney-General of the Crown for the Colony 
 of Virginia, sons of Sir John Randolph ; Bishop Madison, the first 
 Bishop of Virginia, and Chancellor Nelson, were also buried in the 
 College chapel. 
 
 (Extract from Virginia Gazette, Nov. 29$, 1776.) 
 
 "On Thursday last, the remains of our beloved and amiable fellow-citizen, 
 the Hon. Peyton Randolph, were conveyed in a hearse to the College chapel, 
 attended by the Worshipful Brotherhood of Free Masons, Houses of Assembly, 
 a number of other gentlemen, and the inhabitants of the city. The body was 
 received from the hearse by six gentlemen of the House of Delegates, who 
 conveyed it to the family vault in the chapel, after which an excellent oration 
 was pronounced from the pulpit by the Rev. Thomas Davis, in honor of the 
 deceased, and recommending it to the respectable audience to imitate his vir- 
 tues. The oration being ended, the body was deposited in the vault, when 
 every spectator paid the last tribute of tears to the memory of their departed 
 and much honored friend. The remains were brought from Philadelphia by 
 his nephew, Edmund Randolph, in pursuance of the orders of his widow." 
 
 In 1726, a duty was laid on liquors by the House of Burgesses, 
 to be applied to the current expenses of the College and for found- 
 ing scholarships. 
 
 In 1717 Mrs. Philarity Giles/of Isle of Wight, left by will her re- 
 versionary interest in lands, on the Blackwater in the same county, 
 to the College. 
 
 In 1759, a grant was made by the House of Burgesses to the Col- 
 lege of the proceeds of the tax on peddlers. 
 
 Before the Revolution, the following donations were made to the 
 College for "foundations of scholarships": General Assembly , one 
 thousand pounds; CoL Ed ward I Fill, of Shirley, Charles City, one 
 hundn <1 and (illy pounds; Robert ( 'artrr.of CWotoman, fii'ty pounds;

 with several other interesting portraits, in possession of the College 
 authorities. 
 
 Dr. James Blair, a native of Scotland, and an Episcopal clergy- 
 man, was the first President of the College. He was appointed to 
 the office by the charter. At the instance of the Bishop of London, 
 he came as a missionary to Virginia in 1685. He was appointed 
 Commissary or Representative of the Bishop in the Colony in 1689. 
 With justice, he may be considered the god-father of William and 
 Mary College ; for his exertions, both in this country and in Eng- 
 land, con-tributed greatly to the success of the enterprise. He died 
 in 1743, after having filled the office of President of the College for 
 half a century. 
 
 Bishop Meade says of the Rev. James Blair : "He was involved in difficul- 
 ties with Governors and clergymen, more or less, daring almost the whole pe- 
 riod of his Commissaryship and Presidency of the College. I have the whole 
 of these controversies spread before me in long and tedious letters from him- 
 self and his opponents, to the authorities in England, which never have been 
 published. His first controversy was with Governor Andros, who came to 
 Virginia under no good character, from New York. By royal instructions, 
 Andros was not only Governor of Virginia, but the Ordinary, the Representa- 
 tive of the Bishop of London in church matters, the Commissary being com- 
 paratively a negative character." . . . "Dr. Blair being then in England 
 about his College, preferred charges against him as an enemy to religion, to 
 the Church, the Clergy, and the College, bringing proofs of the same. The 
 charges cover thirty-two pages of manuscript and are well written. But Blair 
 had formidable foes to meet in London. Governor Andros sends over in his 
 defence Colonel Byrd, of Westover ; Mr. Harrison, of Surry ; Mr. Povey, a 
 man high in office in the Colony, and a Mr. Marshall, to arraign Dr. Blah' 
 himself before the Bishop of London and Archbishop of Canterbury. Two 
 days were spent in Lambeth Palace in the examination. The charges and the 
 answers are set down, and fill up thirty-seven folio pages of manuscript. 
 Never were four men more completely foiled by one. The accusers seem to 
 feel and acknowledge it, and doubtless wished themselves out of Lambeth 
 Palace long before the trial was over." .... "The result of it all was, 
 that Mr. Blair came home with a good sum of money for his College, and An- 
 dros was sent back to England to stand his trial, from which he came out 
 badly." 
 
 In the dedication by Commissary Blah- of his sermons, published in 1722, he 
 says : It is a particular felicity of that country, (Virginia,) not to be infested 
 with the enemies of the Christian faith : so that we have little or no occasion 
 in our sermons to enter the lists with Atheists, Deists, Arians or Socinians, 
 nor are we much troubled with either Popish or Protestant Recusants ; or any 
 of those unhappy distinctions by which the Church of England is most unfor- 
 tunately subdivided in this our mother country.

 (Extract from Preface to Dr. Blair's Sermons, published in 1740.) 
 
 "Therefore, he formed a vast design of erecting and endowing a College in 
 Virginia, at Williamsburg, the Capital of that country, for professors and 
 students in academical learning. In order thereto, he had himself set on 
 foot a voluntary subscription, amounting to a great sum, and not content with 
 that, he came over to England in the year 1693, to solicit the affair at Court. 
 The good Queen (Queen Mary) was so well pleased with the noble design, that 
 she espoused it with a particular zeal ; and King William also, as soon as he 
 became acquainted with its use and excellency, very readily concurred with 
 the Queen in it." 
 
 The Presidents before the Revolution were : 
 
 The Rev. Dr. Blair, Commissary, from 1693 to 1743 
 
 The Rev. William Dawson, Commissary, from 1743 to 1752 
 
 The Rev. William Stith, D. D., the Historian, Commissary, from.,1752 to 1755 
 
 The Rev. Thomas Dawson, D. D., Commissary, from 1755 to 1761 
 
 The Rev. James Horrocks, D. D., " " 1767 to 1771 
 
 The Rev. John Camm, D. D., " " 1771 to 1777 
 
 When Bishop Madison was elected. 
 
 Before the Revolution, the College consisted of a school of di- 
 vinity, one of philosophy, in which natural philosophy and mathe- 
 matics were taught, a grammar school for instruction in the ancient 
 languages, and an Indian school supported by the donation of the 
 Hon. Robert Boyle, in which, from about the year 1700 to 1776, 
 eight to ten Indains were annually maintained and educated. Some 
 of these Indians came a distance of four hundred miles from the 
 College. 
 
 The College long exercised (till 1819) the duties of the office of 
 Surveyor General of the Colony of Virginia; and among the sur- 
 veyors appointed by it were George Washington, Zachary Taylor, 
 of Orange, the grandfather of the late General Taylor, President of 
 the United States, and Thomas Jefferson. 
 
 For about seventy years previous to the Revolution, the average 
 number of students was about sixty ; from ten to fifteen of whom 
 were received on the scholarships or foundations. At the beginning 
 of the Revolution the number was seventy. 
 
 Prior to the Revolution, the annual income of the College, from 
 duties granted in the charter ;ind hy the Colony, from "Boyle's 
 Charity," funded capital and scholarships. \vas nearly four thousand 
 pounds sterling. In 177. r College in North Ainer-

 thousand five hundred dollars in money, and the then unproduc- 
 tive land granted by the English Crown. 
 
 It furnished to the American Revolution Benjamin Harrison, Car- 
 ter Braxton, Thomas Nelson and George Wythe, signers of the 
 Declaration; Peyton Randolph, President of the first American Con- 
 gress; Edmund Randolph, Attorney General and Secretary of State; 
 John Marshall, Chief Justice; Thomas Jefferson* and James Mon- 
 roe, Presidents of the United States, and a host of others, among 
 them John Tyler, Senior, Governor of Virginia, John Taylor, of 
 Caroline, the Nelsons, the Blands, the Pages, the Harrisons, the Car- 
 ters, the Nicholases, the Braxtons, the Grymeses, the Burwells, the 
 Lewises, the Lyonses, the Mercers, the Cockes, the Boilings, the 
 Nicholsons, the Carringtons, and many others whose names are 
 national and historic. Thirty students and three professors joined 
 the army at the beginning of the Revolutionary war. 
 
 The following extracts from the proceedings of the faculty shed 
 light upon the history of the College before the Revolutionary War: 
 
 "June 28th, 1732. The College chapel was opened. Mr. President (the 
 Rev. Mr. Blair) preached on Proverbs, xxii : 6. 
 
 "July 31st, 1732. The foundation of the President's house at the College

 in Virginia, so that I do not intend to remove the body to England ; but hope 
 the President, &c., of the College will permit me to erect a monument near 
 the place where he was buried, as the only means I have of expressing in some 
 degree the sincere regard and affection I bore towards him. And I flatter my- 
 self it may not be disagreeable to the Virginians to have this remembrance of 
 a person whom they held in so high estimation, and whose loss they so greatly 
 lament.' Which being read, the application therein contained received the 
 unanimous assent of the society, who are, glad of any opportunity of showing 
 their sincere regard to the memory of Lord Botetourt.

 CORRESPONDENCE BETWEEN THE FACULTY AND THE EARL OF DUNMORE, 
 
 THE GOVERNOR. 
 
 "We, his Majesty's dutiful and loyal subjects, the President and Professors 
 of William and Mary College, moved by an impulse of unfeigned joy, cannot 
 help congratulating your Excellency on such a series of agreeable events as 
 the success of your enterprise against the Indians, the addition to your family 
 by the birth of a daughter, and your safe as well as glorious return to the capi- 
 tal of this Dominion. May the great fatigues and dangers, which you so 
 readily and cheerfully undergo in the service of your Government, be ever 
 crowned with victory ! May you ever find the public benefits thence arising 
 attended with domestic blessings ! And may you always feel the enlivening 
 pleasure of reading in the countenances around you, wherever you turn your 
 eyes, such an expression of affection as can be derived only from applauding 
 and grateful hearts." 
 
 To which his Excellency was pleased to return the following answer: 
 
 GENTLEMEN : I cannot but receive every instance of the attention of a 
 learned and respectable body, such as yours, with a great degree of satisfac- 
 tion ; but the affectionate and very obliging terms in which you are pleased to 
 express your good wishes towards me on this occasion, demand cordial thanks, 
 and will ever be impressed on my mind."

 . . . "The vacations in the University are from the 1st of April to the 
 1st of May, and from the 1st of August to the 10th of October." 
 
 From the Statutes of the College, published in 1792: 
 14 Be it ordained, That the drinking of spirituous liquors (except in that mod- 
 eration which becomes the prudent and industrious student) be prohibited." 
 
 From a copy of the Old Laws : 
 
 44 No other person than a student or other member of the College shall be 
 admitted as a boarder at the College table. No liquors shall be furnished or 
 used at table except beer, cider, toddy, or spirits and water. 
 
 44 The keeper of the College table shall, on no pretext nor for any considera- 
 tion, furnish or sell to the students wine or any other spirituous liquors, to be 
 drunk at any other time or place, than at their ordinary meals, as aforesaid." 
 
 From Weld's Travels : "The Bishop of Virginia is President of the College, 
 and has apartments in the buildings. Half a dozen or more of the students, 
 the eldest about twelve years of age, dined at his table one clay while I was 
 there ; some were without shoes or stockings, others without coats. During 
 the dinner, they constantly rose to help themselves at the sideboard. A cou- 
 ple of dishes of salted meat and some oyster soup formed the above dinner. 
 I only mention this, as it may convey some idea of American colleges and 
 American dignitaries." [The date of the preface to Weld's Travels is Decem- 
 ber 20th, 1798.] 
 
 (Extract from the proceedings of the Visitors, Sept. 1st, 17G9.) 
 44 The Visitation being informed that the Rev'd Mr. John Canrm, Professor 
 of Divinity, and the Rev'd Mr. Josiah Johnson, Master of the Grammar School, 
 have lately married and taken up their residence in the city of Williamsbnrg, 
 by which great inconvenience has arisen to the College and the necessary at- 
 tention which those Professors ought to pay to the conduct and behaviour of 
 the students and scholars has been almost totally interrupted : 
 
 Resolved, That it is the opinion of this Visitation that the Professors and 
 their engaging in marriage and the concerns of a private family, and 
 shifting their resilience to any place without the College, is contrary to the 
 principles on which the College was founded, and their dny as I'rotV-^nrs."

 spirit of Virginia was breathed in the burning words of Henry. The 
 original charter of this society is now in the possession of the His- 
 torical Society of this State. 
 
 When the College broke up in 1781, the records of the Society 
 were sealed up and placed in the hands of the College Steward, and 
 subsequently they came into the possession of the Historical Society 
 of Virginia. On examination in 1850, it was found that one of the 
 old members, William Short, of Philadelphia, still survived. It 
 was also discovered that he was President of the Society when it 
 was interrupted. Measures were immediately taken to revive it in 
 the College with Mr. Short as the connecting link with the original 
 Society. This was done, and it is now in operation. 
 
 The names of the original members of this Society are : 
 
 John Heath, Thomas Smith, Richard Booker, 
 
 1 Armistead Smith, John Jones, Daniel Fitzhugh, 
 
 John Stuart, John Starke, Theodore Fitzhugh, 
 
 Isaac Hill, William Short, John Morrison, 
 
 Henry Hill, John Allen, George Braxton,

 Landon Cabell, Thomas Lee, Bushrod Washington, 
 
 William Madison, W. Pierce, Richard B. Lee, 
 
 John Swann, Thomas Cocke, Paxton Bowdoin, 
 Alexander Mason. (Grigsbifs Convention, 1776.) 
 
 In 1781 the exercises of the College were suspended, and the 
 buildings were alternately occupied the summer before the memo- 
 rable siege of Yorktown by the British and the French and Ameri- 
 can troops. Whilst occupied by the latter, the College was injured 
 and the President's house destroyed by fire. This was subsequently 
 rebuilt at the expense of the French government. It does not ap- 
 pear how long the College was closed probably the exercises were 
 suspended not more than a year. In 1790 there was a respectable 
 number of students. 
 
 After the Revolution the General Assembly of Virginia gave to 
 the College the Palace lands and the houses upon them, a tract of 
 land near Williamsburg known as the "Vineyard," and a few acres 
 not far from Jamestown. The organization of the College was now 
 changed. Mr. Jefferson, in his Autobiography, says : " On the 1st of 
 June, 1779, I was appointed Governor of the Commonwealth, and 
 
52 HISTORICAL SKETCH. 
 
 retired from the Legislature. Being elected also one of the Visitors 
 of William and Mary College, a self-electing body, I effected, during 
 my residence in Williamsburg that year, a change in the organiza- 
 tion of that institution, by abolishing the Grammar School and the 
 two Professorships of Divinity and Oriental Languages, and substi- 
 tuting a Professorship of Law and Police, one of Anatomy, Medi- 
 cine and Chemistry, and one of Modern Languages ; and the charter 
 confining us to six professors, we added the Law of Nature and 
 Nations, and the Fine Arts, to the duties of the moral professor, 
 and Natural History to those of the professor of Mathematics and 
 Natural Philosophy." The Indian school was abandoned in conse- 
 quence of the loss of the manor of Brafferton by the Revolution. 
 
 In 1788, George Washington was made Chancellor of the College. 
 His letter of acceptance is as follows : 
 
 MOUNT VEBNON, April 3Wh, 1788. 
 DEAR SIR : 
 
 I am now to acknowledge the receipt of your letter of the 15th instant, in 
 which you did me the favor to enclose an extract from the original statute 
 designating the duties of the office to which I had been appointed. 
 
 Influenced by a heartfelt desire to promote the cause of science in general 
 and the College of William and Mary in particular, I accept the office of Chan- 
 cellor of the same, and request you will be pleased to give official notice 
 thereof to the learned bodj^ who have thought proper to honor me with the 
 appointment. 
 
 I confide fully in their strenuous endeavors for placing the system of educa- 
 tion on such a basis as will render it most beneficial to the State and the re- 
 public of letters, as well as to the more extensive interests of humanity and 
 religion. In return, they will do me the justice to believe that I shall not be 
 tardy in giving my cheerful concurrence to such measures as may be best cal- 
 culated for the attainment of those desirable and important objects. 
 
 For the expressions of politeness and friendship blended with your commu- 
 nication, I pray you to receive my best ackixwlrd^nu -nts. With sentiment* 
 of the highest esteem and regard, 
 I am, dear sir, 
 
 Your obedient and very humble servant,

 and many others of like renown to National and State service. 
 
 Since 1835, say twenty-five years of its active existence (within 
 this time its exercises have been for five years suspended), the Col- 
 lege matriculation books show an average of seventy-five students 
 who have drunk at the fountains of philosophy, literature and 
 science under the direction of the late Thomas R. Dew, the late 
 Judge N. Beverly Tucker, the Right Rev. John Johns, Bishop of 
 Virginia, and their co-laborers and successors, and who have proved 
 themselves in every way worthy of their predecessors, and, in nu- 
 merous cases, filled important offices in church and State. During 
 the late civil war, William and Mary followed the fortunes of Vir- 
 ginia. Ninety per cent, of the students at College when the war 
 began, entered the State service. A large number of the alumni 
 held important civil and military positions while the unhappy con- 
 test was raging. Some of these, of the highest promise and the 
 fairest prospects, distinguished for learning and genius, sealed their 
 devotion to their State with their blood. With those who have gone 
 before them, they have illustrated Virginia's fame in nearly every 
 important American battle and siege, from the defeat of Braddock 
 to the surrender at Appomattox, by their heroic valor. 
 
 Bishop Meade, in his "Old Churches," &c., says, after speaking of Bishop 
 Madison, and of his filling, till he died in 1812, the Presidency of the College, 
 that he was succeeded, after the interval of a year, by Dr. John Augustine 
 Smith, a Virginian, who being "conscious that the aid of heaven, through his 
 church and ministry, ought to be had in order to success, therefore petitioned 
 the now reviving Episcopal Church of Virginia to establish a Professorship of 
 Divinity in the College." The Eev. Dr. Keith was soon after sent for that 
 pftrpose and made the experiment, which did not succeed. Dr. Smith met 
 with a good degree of success, but did not remain longer than 1826. He was 
 succeeded by the Kev. Dr. Wm. H. Wilmer, who discharged his duties "with 
 zeal and fidelity and with considerable success for one year, at the end of 
 which he died, deeply lamented by all the friends of the church and College." 
 The Kev. Dr. Empie succeeded Dr. Wilmer, and remained eight or nine years, 
 when his place was filled by "Mr. Thomas K. Dew, a Virginia gentleman, a 
 graduate of the College, and a scholar. His amiable disposition, fine talents, 
 tact at management, great zeal and unwearied assiduity were the means of 
 raising the College to as great prosperity as had ever been its lot, notwith- 
 
54 HISTORICAL SKETCH. 
 
 standing many opposing difficulties. To this we must make one exception, 
 viz : as to the classical and mathematical departments, under some of the old 
 and ripe scholars from England, before the Kevolutiou." 
 
 "Mr. Dew having been arrested by death in a foreign land in 1846," the 
 College was left for that year and the next in charge of Professor Robert Saun- 
 ders. The next year, Mr. Sannders having resigned, the College was placed 
 under the direction of Mr. Benjamin S. Ewell, when, by an arrangement with 
 the Episcopal Church, "Bishop Johns was called to the Presidency, which he 
 retained till 1854." His services were most valuable, restoring the College 
 from a seemingly hopeless condition to a state of prosperity. 
 
 On the night of the 8th February, 1859, at a time when the alurnni 
 of the College were on the eve of celebrating the 166th anniversary 
 of its foundation, the College building, with most of its interesting 
 antiquities, was destroyed by accidental fire. 
 
 The following account of the fire of 1859 is extracted from the 
 notes of the late Professor Robert J. Morrison, who lived at the time 
 in part of the President's house : 
 
 "About two o'clock in the morning of the eighth of February, 1859, I was 
 aroused from sleep by the cry that the College was on fire. T sprang from my 
 bed and saw the light streaming in through the windows of the President's 
 house. I raised a window, looked towards the College, and saw large volumes 
 of flame issuing from two windows on the north side of the north wing. 
 
 " It was evident that the laboratory and the library were in an advanced 
 conflagration. I threw on my clothes in great haste, and rushed towards the 
 scene. Upon opening the front door of the President's house, I was struck 
 with the terrific roar of the flames, which was unusually great for such a fire. 
 This was probobly caused by the burning of the books. I had not reached the 
 College when I met President Ewell, who had just returned from the second 
 floor of the building, where he had been to rescue the students who were sleep- 
 ing in the dormitories. All the students were fortunately saved, though seve- 
 ral of them for a short time were in peril. Three or four of them lost their 
 effects. I urged Mr. Ewell, who was not half dressed, to go to his chamber 
 for warmer clothing, as the weather was cold and damp, but he said, "I must 
 first go with him to the basement under the laboratory to discover, if possible, 
 the origin of the lire.'' (Mr. Morrison came to the conclusion that the lire 
 originated in the, laboratory. This was not accepted as the cau-e. A negro 
 man was cutting wood in the cellar, just under the laboratory, the night befoj-e 
 by the light of a eandle, and it was his rarele^m-ss thai produced the confla- 
 gration; SO it \V:i- believed.)

 THE COLLEGE OF WILLIAM AND MARY, \ 
 February I2th, 1859. J 
 
 Extract from a letter from Colonel St. George Tucker, who was 
 appointed to recite a poem at the celebration of the 166th anniver- 
 sary of the foundation of the College, dated 
 
 FEBRUARY OTH, 1859. 
 MY DEAR MORRISON : 
 
 I have just seen the fatal announcement of the loss of old William and Mary. 
 I feel more than I can express at such an awful catastrophe. At any time the 
 destruction of almost the only link which binds Virginia to her golden age, 
 would have awakened emotions of the deepest sorrow ; but more particularly 
 now, as I have been fully identifying myself with her destiny, and projecting 
 myself into her early history, does the deepest regret penetrate my soul. . . 
 
 Among the coincidences connected with the fire I find, by reference, to the 
 Dispatch, that it occurred on the same night and within an hour after I had 
 finished my address. 
 
 The library, containing many curious and rare books, with some 
 manuscripts, chiefly presented by kings, archbishops, bishops and 
 governors, and the cabinet of apparatus in which were instruments 
 more than a century old, the gift of the Colonial House of Burgesses, 
 were consumed. The mural tablets in the chapel to the memories 
 of Sir John Eandolph and Bishop Madison were also destroyed. 
 Notwithstanding this terrible disaster the celebration took place. 
 The following is part of an eloquent address delivered on that inte- 
 resting occasion by a most distinguished and honored alumnus 
 the late ex-President Tyler at the time of his death Chancellor of 
 the Institution: 
 
 Like an aged Nestor, that building has stood until within a few days past, 
 amid civil convulsions which have shaken continents. At the time of its erec- 
 tion, it looked out upon a country in the early infancy of settlement, contain- 
 ing a population in all the English colonies which was not greater than that 
 which at this day is found in the smallest State of the Union. It beheld that 
 population expanding over regions bounded by the two great oceans, to be 
 counted by millions in place of the scattered thousands of that early day. It 
 has seen the colonies shake off the badges of puberty, and put on the toga 
 virilis. It saw the Congress before and after it had assembled under the Ar- 
 ticles of Confederation, and those articles substituted by the Constitution un- 
 der which it is now our happiness to live. It re-echoed the words of the forest- 
 born Demosthenes in 1765, asserting the rights of America to be " Natural, 
 Constitutional and Chartered," and in thunder-tones at an after day, its walls 
 resounded to the words u Liberty or Death," uttered by the same eloquent 
 
56 HISTORICAL SKETCH. 
 
 lips. Itself an offspring of the Revolution of 1688, its sons were the warm and 
 enthusiastic advocates of that of 1776. 
 
 Under the influence of its teachings, its students threw aside for a season 
 their volumes, and girded on the sword to do battle in the great cause of 
 liberty. 
 
 The calm and silver-toned voice of philosophy heard within its walls, has 
 been oftimes hushed by the clangor of drums and trumpets. 
 
 At one time it gave reluctant shelter to the British troops as they passed on 
 to Yorktown,* and soon after its gates were opened wide to give willing and 
 exultant reception to the troops with their tattered banners which followed 
 Cornwallis to his last retreat. 
 
 Its walls were alternately shaken by the thunder of the cannon at Yorktown, 
 and by the triumphant shouts of the noble bands who had fought and con- 
 quered in the name of American independence. 
 
 The boy had gone fourth with the surveyor's staff, which it had placed in 
 his hands, into the wilderness of the west, and now returned the hero and the 
 conqueror, and once more stood within its walls, surrounded by the chivalry 
 of France and America, wearing on his brow imperishable laurels, and making 
 the name of Washington foremost on the rolls of fame. 
 
 If her catalogue closed with the names of those who belong to the dead gen- 
 erations, might not William and Mary take her place among her sister Univer- 
 sities proudly and rightfully ? But it bears the names of men of living gene- 
 rations who add to her renown. In the various pursuits of life they perform 
 well their several parts. The pulpit, from which are uttered those great truths 
 so essential for time and eternity, resounds with their eloquence ; while oil 
 the bench of justice, at the legal forum, in the State Legislatures, in the 
 National Councils, in the active marts of commerce, in the pursuits of agri- 
 culture, in the tented camps, their names are honored, their attainments re- 
 spected, and then- opinions and examples quoted and followed. 
 
 The following is extracted from a report made to the Faculty of 
 William and Mary at a meeting on the 8th February, 1860, one year 
 after its destruction by fire, on the general condition of the College : 
 
 The new College edifice has been completed and fully furnished. On the 
 llth October, 1859, the capstone of the building was laid by the <Irund Lodge 
 of Virginia, and the College exercises have hern conducted in if without inter- 
 ruption from the beginning of the, present session. The buildings arc in every 
 way suitable, and in an eminent degree convenient and comfortable. The

 has been provided with a full set of the most valuable mural maps, geograph- 
 ical and historical, on the largest scale, and of the most accurate construction. 
 
 The literary societies of the College have been provided with large and 
 handsome halls, which are furnished in the most comfortable manner. To 
 each of these is attached an apartment for library and reading room. 
 
 The chapel has been restored, and the remains of its illustrious dead still 
 lie undisturbed within its walls. 
 
 The library has been conveniently arid handsomely furnished with cases for 
 books, and already contains about six thousand volumes, obtained partly by 
 purchase and partly by the donations of public spirited individuals. 
 
 Thus, within one year, the losses by the fire of February 8th, 1859, have, in 
 every material point of view, been completely restored ; and in all the essen- 
 tials of its building, furniture, apparatus and library, the College is now in a 
 better condition than it was on that day. 
 
 In addition, it may be stated that the funds were ample to sustain 
 a full faculty, and the prospects for the future in every way encour- 
 aging. 
 
 " No *chancellor seems to have been appointed from the death of 
 George Washington until 1859, when Ex-President John Tyler, of 
 Charles City, was appointed ; and to the day of his death he felt as 
 honored in succeeding George Washington in that office as he did 
 in the Presidency of the United States. The Visitors named in the 
 charter were gentlemen of the highest rank in seventeen counties and 
 of the capital in the colony, and two of them in London. Those of 
 1723 were such as Alexander Spottswood, Governor of the colony 
 and Robert Carter, of Corotoman, Secretary of the Council, and their 
 peers. Those of 1758, such as the Hon. John Blair, President of the 
 Council; Hon. William Nelson, and Hon. Thomas Nelson, also Presi- 
 dents of the Council; the Speaker of the House of Burgesses, Peyton 
 Randolph, Gent., of Williamsburg ; Richard Bland, Treasurer and 
 Speaker of the House of Burgesses. From 1761 to 1763, such as 
 Hon. Francis Fauquier, Governor William Robinson, Commissary ; 
 Robert Carter Nicholas, Treasurer of the colony, and George Wythe, 
 of Williamsburg. Visitors elected after 1763, such as Right Hon^ 
 N. Berkeley, Governor of the colony ; Edward Page, Jr., of Rose- 
 well, Governor of Virginia; Right Hon. John, Earl of Dunmore, 
 Governor of the colony; Benj. Berkeley Harrison, of Berkeley,

 " In 1859, Ex-President John Tyler was chancellor and rector, 
 and in July, 1871, the Hon. Hugh Blair Grigsby, the gentleman, 
 scholar, and eloquent writer and orator, of the blood of James Blair, 
 the first president of the College, was elected unanimously chan- 
 cellor, and the Hon. James Lyons, the eminet lawyer and citizen of 
 Richmond, was elected unanimously rector of the College, to suc- 
 ceed another eminent rector, the Hon. William H. Macfarland, who 
 had removed out of the Commonwealth. The very Bursars of the 
 College have ever been gentlemen of the most favorable standing, 
 and the President and Professors such men as James Blair, D. D., 
 William Stith, the Historian, Rt. Rev. James Madison, Dr. John 
 Augustine Smith, Rev. William H. Wilmer, D. D., Rev. Adam P. 
 Empie, D. D., Thomas R. Dew, Esq., Robert Saunders, Rt. Rev.

 Judge N. Bev. Tucker, Judge George P. Scarburgh, Rev. Charles 
 Minnegerode, William B. Rogers, and Dr. John Millington. 
 
 A College thus organized and instructed by such men could not 
 but yield the rarest and richest Alumni. Before the Revolution 
 there was a long succession of the most eminent Colonial men, who 
 were proud to be called her sons ; and since, her brood has been 
 multiplied fourfold without loss of grade. About four hundred 
 different names on her rolls have been put upon the rolls of dis- 
 tinction, and many on the heights of eminence, by her teaching and 
 training. Not only was her teaching after the Oxford order of the 
 Humanities, but her training was that of the most refined and 
 urbane manner. Williamsburg was the site of the Vice Royal 
 Palace, and her court was far more moral than that of Charles II., 
 arid quite as ornate in manners. Tin- breeding and cultivation were 
 of the old regime of Knights, under the guidance of tin- Episcopal 
 clergy; and to this day there is a marked superiority of addrew 
 amonL r tin.- old families, and old servants even, of Williamsburg over 
 any other people of town or country, in Virginia. She is HO re-

 have not yet fully abashed her gentle, soft and polished politeness 
 as elsewhere almost everywhere in the land. It is, and ever wasi 
 one of the chief attractions of the sons of gentlemen to her halls of 
 learning and houses of hospitality. No man of his day more kept 
 up that "ancien regime" than John Tyler plain, genial, polished, 
 kind, gentle, affable young men were his proteges and pets and 
 he was one of their best models. 
 
 " A part of the great good he did for his Alma Mater was to pro- 
 tect her corporate franchise. When many erroneously urged that 
 William and Mary was part of the 'establishment' yea, was the 
 very 'red shawl of the Babylonish woman' and were for depriving 
 her of her charter, claiming that she was a State or public po- 
 litical institution, and might be abolished, Mr. Tyler nobly stood 
 among others by her side, and maintained that though she had 
 a Burgess in the Grand Assembly, and was represented as a 
 municipal corporation in the Convention even which formed the 
 State Constitution which excluded her for the first time from 
 representation in the Legislature, yet she was founded on pri- 
 vate subscription mainly, and stood safely on the ground taken by 
 Mr. Webster in the case of Dartmouth College. There she has stood, 
 and still stands, unassailable; and it would be sacrilege to question 
 her corporate rights now, after giving twenty-seven of her students 
 to the achievement of American independence, among whom were 
 a Boiling, a Burwell, a Byrd, two Carters, a Claiborne, a Cooke, a 
 Cocke, a Dade, a Digges, an Eggleston, an Evans, a Harrison, a 
 Mercer, a Monroe, a Nelson, a Nicholson, two Pages, four Randolphs, 
 a Roberts, a Saunders, G. Smith, and Dr. James Lyons (father of 
 James Lyons) names forever to be cherished. Besides her long 
 roll of most eminent divines, lawyers and physicians in private life, 
 she has given to the country two eminent Attorney Generals of the 
 United States; to the House of Representatives of the Congress of 
 the United States nearly twenty members, and to the Senate of the- 
 United States fifteen Senators ; to Virginia and other States seven- 
 teen Governors ; to the country one historian and numberless emi- 
 nent writers ; to the State and the United States thirty-seven judges ; 
 to the Revolution twenty-seven of her sons; to the army of the 
 United States a lieutenant-general and a score of principal and sub- 
 ordinate officers ; to the United States navy a list of Paladins of the 
 sea, headed by Warrington and Thomas Ap. Catesby Jones ; to the 
 Colleges and University twelve professors ; to the nation three Pre- 
 sidents Jefferson, Monroe, and John Tyler; to Independence four 
 signers of its Declaration ; to the first American Congress its Presi-

 dent; to the Federal judiciary the most eminent Chief Justice, 
 John Marshall ; to the Federal Executive seven Cabinet officers, and 
 to the convention which framed the Constitution of the United 
 States, Edmund Randolph, its chief author and draftsman. In all 
 she has given to her country more than two hundred heroes and 
 sages who have been pre-eminently distinguished in public service 
 and place. These are wonderful facts, and their number and value, 
 compared with the number of alumni, show her to be first in fruits, 
 if not first in time, compared with any other College in America. 
 Counting her time from 1693 to the present day (1871)," the period 
 of her existence is one hundred and seventy-eight years ; from 1661, 
 two hundred and ten years ; in a word, for about two hundred years 
 she has for and during the period of her existence yielded to her 
 State and country, to mankind and the world, more than one jewel 
 of the first water per annum of inestimable value. Who would see 
 that fountain of truth, of light, of honor, of law and liberty fail ? 
 
 " John Tyler, ex-President of the United States, was devoted to the 
 task of keeping her full up to the mark of her memories of the past, 
 and of her high calling for the future ; and the Congress of the 
 United 'States will, doubtless, at its next session repair liberally all 
 the damages done by civil war to her venerable walls and to her 
 precious paraphernalia and archives." 
 
 Early in May, 1861, the actual existence of war at its very thresh- 
 old rendered it necessary to suspend the College exercises and to- 
 
 NOTE. The following is from a speech of the Hon. George F. Hoar, M. C., from Massachu- 
 setts, in support of a bill before the Congress of the United States for the relief of the College 
 because of its losses during the civil war: 
 
 " To spare, and if possible to protect, institutions of learning, is an obligation which the 
 most civilized nations impose on themselves. Whenever, by accident or design, these insti- 
 tutions have been Injured in war, such governments desire, if possible, to make reparation. 
 History contains many conspicuous and interesting examples of this generous recognition. 
 .... In her bloodiest and angriest civil strifes, all factions in England have revered 
 her institutions of learning. Her schools and colleges, whatever side they may have taken 
 In civil war, have enjoyed immunity from its injuries, when even her stately mid venerable

 close its doors. The building was soon after seized by the military, 
 and used first as a barrack and next as a hospital, until the evacua- 
 tion of Williamsburg in May, 1862. Williamsbusg is, to a force 
 holding James and York rivers, the strategic point of the Peninsula. 
 The tides in deep creeks, emptying into the James and the York, 
 and flanked by impassable morasses, ebb and flow within a mile of 
 the city. The position is a narrow gorge, where the roads from 
 above and below converge into a single one, passing directly through 
 the place. It was, therefore, held by the United States army in the 
 Peninsula from the time of General McClellan's advance on Rich- 
 mond till the close of the war, almost without intermission, as an 
 important post. At times, however, it was debatable ground, and 
 was alternately in the possession of the contending forces. A con- 
 flict occurred on the 9th September, 1862, between a detachment of 
 Confederate cavalry and the United States garrison, then consisting 
 of the 5th regiment Pennsylvania cavalry, in which the latter was 
 worsted. The Confederates took possession of the town early in the 
 day, but withdrew in a few hours. After they had retired (by 11 
 A. M. of the same day all had gone), returning stragglers of the 
 garrison, provoked by their defeat, under the influence of drink and 
 before organization, or subordination was restored, fired and de- 
 stroyed the principal building, with furniture and apparatus. For 
 this, it is believed, no authority was given by the officers in com- 
 mand. 
 
 have successively struggled for and occupied the English throne, while in the building, which 
 Wykeham in his lifetime planned and built, the scholars of Winchester are still governed by 
 the statutes which he framed. 
 
 You will scarcely find an instance, in England or America, where a school or college, wisely 
 founded, has died. "Whatever perishes, that shall endure." . . 
 
 But William and Mary has also her own peculiar claim on our regard. The great principles 
 on which the rights of man depend, which inspired the statesmen of Virginia of the period of 
 the Revolution, are the fruits of her teaching. The name of Washington, to whose genius in 
 war, and to whose influence in peace we owe the vindication of our liberties and the success- 
 ful inauguration of our constitution, is inseparably connected with William and Mary. She 
 gave him his first commission in his youth ; he gave to her his last public service in his age. 
 Jefferson, author of the declaration of independence, who announced the great law of equality 
 and human rights, in whose light our Constitution is at last and forever to be interpreted, 
 drank his inspiration at her fountain. Marshall, without whose luminous and farsighted ex- 
 position our Constitution could hardly have been put into successful and harmonious opera- 
 tion, who imbedded forever in our constitutional law the great doctrines on which the mea- 
 sures that saved the Union are based, was a son of William and Mary. By the cession of the 
 great Northwestern territory, largely due to the efforts of one of her illustrious sons, she lost 
 a great part of her revenues. 
 
 Next to Harvard she is the oldest of American Colleges. The gift of the famous Robert 
 Boyle was held by her for many years, on condition of an annual payment of 90 to Harvard. 
 Boyle was the friend of many of the early friends and benefactors of Harvard, and a cor- 
 respondent of one of its first Presidents. Each of these two seminaries, in its own part of the 
 country, kindled and kept alive the sacred fire of liberty. In 1743, the year Jefferson waa

 Extracts from the depositions of Mrs. Maria T. Peyton and Miss 
 Mary T. Southall, both of Williamsburg, in relation to the destruc- 
 tion of the College in September, 1862, taken before Dr. R. M. 
 Garrett, magistrate of the town : 
 
 Miss Southall deposes : " That she resided at the time on the College grounds 
 in the President's house, and that she was alarmed, on the evening of the 8th 
 of September, by the cry of fire. She went out and found that the College 
 Building was on fire ; that soon a crowd gathered and extinguished the flames ; 
 and that while carrying a bucket of water, she met three United States soldiers ; 
 one of them told her if the College was not burned that day, it would be the 
 next, or words to that effect ; that early the next day, a detachment of the 
 Southern cavalry entered and, after a short contest, retired, the last one of 
 them leaving by ten minutes after ten o'clock A. M. ; that shortly afterwards, 
 the College yard was crowded with United States soldiers, many of them 
 drunk and boisterous ; that she and her sisters were advised, so unruly were 
 they, to leave the premises, which they did ; that about five o'clock, P. M., 
 she was told of the College being on fire, and advised to return, as the house 
 in which she lived was in great danger. This she did, and soon after the 
 College was a smoking ruin ; and that there is no doubt of the destruction 
 having been designedly effected by drunken United States soldiers." 
 
 Mr^ Maria T. Peyton deposes essentially to the same facts respecting the 
 fire on 'the 9th of September, resulting in the burning down of the Build- 
 ing; and further deposes that she went to Lieut. Col. Smith, who, by the 
 capture of Col. Campbell, became the Commandant of the Post and the 
 Regiment which was its garrison, the Fifth Pennsylvania Cavalry, and told 
 him there was a rumor the town was to be fired. He replied: "No such 
 orders had been or would be given." A short time after, the alliuut saw the 
 College on fire, and immediately said to Col. Smith : "See, sir, tin 1 destruction 
 has begun." He replied, that it had, but that it would be now impossible to 
 save the building for want of buckets. He said further, he had a set of 
 
 born, Samuel Adams maintained, on taking his degree of Master of Arts at Harvard, the 
 affirmative of the thesis, whether it be lawful to resist the Supreme Magistrate, if the < 
 monwealth cannot otherwise be preserved ? In this hour of the calamity of her sister College 
 I am glad to believe that Harvard does not forget the ancient tie. The mother of the Otises 
 and Adamses would gladly extend her right hand to the mother of Jefferson and Marshall. 
 
 If civil strife or foreign war shall ever again disturb our pear : iege in the land 
 
 will be eaferif Congress shall to-day make this solemn recognition of the nil.- we invoke. To 
 deny it is to deny to the College of Washington the Justice he <ii<l to Princeton. To deny it is

 drunken soldiers, and that it would take two sober men to control one drunken 
 one. The affiant turned again to Col. Smith and said : u Do, sir, try and save 
 William and Mary College, for it will be a stigma on the page of history if 
 you suffer it to be lost." He replied : "I have no means of putting out the 
 fire; it cannot now be saved." The affiant distinctly understood from Col. 
 Smith, that no order had been given to burn the College, but that it was done 
 by drunken soldiers whom he could not control.* 
 
 At later periods of the war all the remaining houses on the College 
 premises and the enclosures were burned, or pulled entirely to 
 pieces, or greatly injured. 
 
 The vaults in the College chapel were broken open and robbed of 
 the silver plates attached to the coffins, and of whatever else of value 
 they were found to contain. This desecration was checked, as is 
 stated, when it became known to the military commander. 
 
 These facts are fully substantiated by the affidavits of eye- 
 witnesses. 
 
 It will require at least eighty thousand dollars to repair these 
 losses and restore the College to what it was in 1860. 
 
 The College grounds and buildings not destroyed were held by 
 the United States Army from May, 1862, to September, 1865, for 
 depots and for other purposes.! 
 
 * It was further declared by eye-witnesses, that while the College was burning, some of the 
 Fifth Pennsylvania Cavalry, a regiment said to have been raised in Philadelphia, surrounded 
 the building, with drawn swords, to prevent any attempt at extinguishing the flames. 
 
 t The difficulties in the way of restoring the College at Williamsburg, appeared so formi- 
 dable, at the close of the late civil war, as to cau?e some of its best friends to think seriously 
 of its removal. Fortunately, the attempt was not made. The following extracts from a 
 letter, written by the President of the College, to Sydney Smith, Esq., of the House of Dele- 
 gates, relate to the subject: 
 
 SHALL WILLIAM AND MARY COLLEGE BE REMOVED? 
 
 WILLIAMSBURG, January 3, 186T. 
 
 Dear t> Thinking with you that a statement of the difficulties attending an attempt to 
 carry the College of William and Mary from its present classical, time-honored site, may have 
 a tendency to stop the discussion of the subject, I will comply with your request, and mention 
 some of them. 
 
 And first, let me ask, In whom does the power to move vest 1 In the first section of the 
 charter granted in 1692 the Trustees therein named r Francis Nicholson, William Randolph,. 
 Benj. Harrison, Mathew Page, and others, are directed to establish the College "upon the 
 South side of York river, on the lands of Colonel Townsend, deceased," "or, if by reason of 
 unwholesomeness or any other cause, the said place shall not be approved of, wheresoever 
 else the General Assembly of our Colony of Virginia, or the major part of them, shall think 
 fit, within the bounds of the aforesaid Colony to continue for all times coming." The site of 
 the College was changed about a year after it was fixed by the Charter to the Middle Planta- 
 tions, now Williamsburg, by statute. 
 
 It would seem that in making this statute, the General Assembly exhausted the power con- 
 ferred by the Charter as to the location of the College. In section IX of the Charter, the 
 gentlemen named as trustees, and their successors, are appointed " the true, sole, and un- 
 doubted visitors and governors of the said College forever," with full and absolute authority 
 to make "rules, laws, statutes, orders, and injunctions, for the good and wholesome govern- 
 
64 HISTORICAL SKETCH. 
 
 At a convocation of the Board of Visitors and Governors held 
 during the month of August, 1865, in Richmond, it was determined 
 to re-open the College at the usual time, to repair some of the College 
 buildings for recitation rooms, and to provide other accommodations 
 necessary for the students. This was done, and sufficient temporary 
 arrangements made. 
 
 At the same time, a grammar school was established, to be under 
 the care and supervision of the Faculty. 
 
 The wisdom of this action is abundantly confirmed by the result. 
 At this time, January 15th, 1866, there is a grammar school in 
 successful operation. The numbers composing the College classes 
 exceed the anticipations of the most sanguine; nearly sixty attend 
 the academic exercises. 
 
 In 1867, to continue this historical sketch to the present time, the 
 
 ment of the said College," to elect a chancellor, a rector, to fill vacancies in their own body, 
 and to elect a president, and masters or professors when necessary. No other powers seem 
 to be conferred by the Charter on the visitors and governors. As trustees, they were ordered 
 to receive and dispose of the College property until the College should be actually established, 
 when their functions as trustees, with the property, were to be transferred to the president, 
 and masters or professors, or their successors, who " shall be a body politic in deed and name,'' 
 who "shall have perpetual succession," with the right to hold property, to sue and be sued, 
 Ac., and who shall "have a common seal," &c. In short, the Charter does not provide for a 
 removal, but intended that wherever established, the College was " to continue," and "to be 
 supported and maintained for all time coming." (See Charter.) 
 
 An exercise of such authority by the Legislature would be a usurpation; by the Visitors and 
 Governors, or Faculty, a felo-de-se. If removed, the old College of William and Mary, the 
 alma mater of Virginia's greatest and best sons, the Institution identified with Washington, 
 and Jefferson, and Monroe, and Marshall, and Tyler, and others as worthy, whom time and 
 space do not allow me to name, would cease to exist. A new Institution, bearing the same 
 name, of greater wealth, and perhaps, of equal usefulness, might be established ; but old 
 William and Mary would be among the things of the past. 
 
 But assume that this power exists, ought it to be exercised ? If established in Richmond, 
 or Alexandria, or Petersburg, or Norfolk, the number of students would be larger, and the 
 Professors' fees remunerative, but I doubt if the number of young men In attendance from 
 a distance would equal the average here. In a town like this, College students have all the 
 advantages of society, and may be supervised and controlled. In a city, they would be lost 
 sight of. Experience, in all parts of this country, has demonstrated that Universities and 
 Colleges do not prosper in cities. The classes are all filled up for the most part with boys, 
 studying what they could much better learn in academies and private schools, with but few 
 advanced scholars. What constitutes the prosperity of a College? The following answer 
 was given to this question by the Rev. Dr. Horrocks, President of William and Mary, a cen- 
 tury ago : 
 
 "The nourishing state of a college is not to be estimated by the number of wild and un- 
 cultivated minds which may be brought together," "itut purely by the number of competent 
 scholars and well-behaved gentlemen which are sent by any seminary of learning into the 
 larger society, when: they vie to display improved talents for their own beiieilt ami the public 
 emolument." 
 
 If the question of locality was an open one, a city ought not to be What is the 
 
 matter with Williamsburg? Its position is central in the tide-water country. In this n 
 It is a suitable site, for the only College in lower Virginia. To be sure, the College is doing but 
 little lit present, beyond local instruction ; but recollect, that Us endowment funds an- entirely 
 unproductive, .-xe.-ptlng that part invested in stale Stocks, and that Its buildings, burned or 
 otherwise destroyed during the war, have been but partial;.

 visitors and governors encouraged by the interest manifested in the 
 restoration of the College by distinguished persons in every part of 
 the country, and the substantial aid furnished by W. W. Corcoran,* 
 of Washington city, A. T. Stewart, James T. Soutter, Hon. A. E. 
 Borie, and other prominent gentlemen of New York, Philadelphia 
 and Baltimore, and the decree of the English courts giving the 
 "Matty Fund" "in trust" to the College, took the necessary steps 
 to rebuild and reorganize the Institution. 
 
 The wise policy of the Visitors has been to permit no expenditures by which the endow- 
 ment might be diminished, and to preserve the Institution free from debt, knowing it to be 
 better to let the College linger, or even to suspend it for a time for what are a few years in 
 comparison to the life-time of a College ? than to weaken its vitality by investing its capital 
 stock in bricks and mortar. Are Oxford and Cambridge less valuable or less dear to English- 
 men now because of their mutations of fortune during the thousand years of their existence ? 
 As to health, I assert that Williamsburg is, during the entire College session, one of the very 
 healthiest places in Virginia. Living is cheap here, and will be cheaper. 
 
 Is this old Colonial Capital, with all its cherished traditions, and associations, and existing 
 attractions, to go for nothing, because it has been desolated by war ? Other places may be 
 ahead of it in promise and progress, but they are farther behind it in tone, in refinement, in 
 civilization. There is no College in the United States where the intercourse between citizen, 
 professor and student is more cordial and mutually beneficial in all respects. 
 
 As to the fitness of the place and its surroundings for study and improvement, judge of 
 the tree by its fruits. Among the students of the last thirty years, some of the brightest and 
 best of whom have sealed their devotion to Virginia with their blood, are to be found scholars 
 and patriots, fit successors of the illustrious men educated here in the last century. 
 
 As yet I have not adverted to the losses of property the College would sustain by a removal. 
 Directly and indirectly, the losses would be $40,000 at least. What, too, if the heirs of private 
 donors to the College of William and Mary, at Williamsburg, were to assert their claims to 
 the gifts of their ancestors ? Nearly the whole endowment would be swept away. The con- 
 dition of the College is by no means desperate. It is better off to-day than it was In 1783. In 
 1776 its revenue was about $12,000 ;' in 1783, it had $2,500 in money, and the land given in 1692 
 by William and Mary. Now its endowment is over $100,000. Though dismantled, the College 
 has yet much capacity for future good. In its present state, it is an apt type of Tide-Water 
 Virginia, scourged and desolated by war. Through patient industry, this region will " smile 
 and blossom" as it never has before, and with it the College will rise from its ashes, develop 
 itself anew to meet the wants of the people, and in good time reach the full measure of its 
 former prosperity. You agree with me, I feel fully assured, that Virginians are bound by con- 
 siderations of the past and present to continue the College where it is, and that by them it 
 ought, to be supported and maintained for all time coming. 
 Very respectfully,

66 HISTORICAL SKETCH. 
 
 In July, 1869, the main building being substantially restored, the 
 Faculty was reorganized with a sufficient corps of academic profes- 
 sors ; the course of studies revised and modified ; and the College 
 ordered to be regularly opened for students, for the first time with a 
 full Faculty since 1861. 
 
 The session commenced encouragingly, notwithstanding the short 
 notice, and there is now every prospect of reasonable success. The 
 building is well constructed and suitable. The library numbers about 
 five thousand volumes, having been increased by some twelve hun- 
 dred volumes within the last twelve months ; the gift for the greater 
 part of Little, Brown & Co., of Boston; D. Appleton & Co., A. J. 
 Barnes & Co., D. Van Nostrand, and Harper and Brothers, of New 
 York; J. B. Lippincott & Co., of Philadelphia; and J. Murphy & 
 Co., of Baltimore, publishers ; and of a few gentlemen of England? 
 among them Mr. R. Potts, A. M., of Trinity College, Cambridge, and 
 the Earl of Derby. The philosophical and chemical apparatus is 
 in good order, and ample for purposes of experiment, illustration 
 and research. With the "Matty Fund," the recovery of which has 
 been mentioned, the preparatory department has been endowed and 
 is in successful operation. Mrs. Mary Whaley, of Bruton parish, bj 
 her will, dated February 16th, 1741, devised to Rev. Thomas Daw- 
 son, rector; John Blair and Thomas Jones, church-wardens; and 
 to Peyton Randolph, Thomas Cobbes, Henry Tyler, Matthew Pierce, 
 Lewis Bur well, Benj. Waller and William Parks, and their succes- 
 sors, a piece of land, just north of Dr. R. P. Waller's residence, on 
 the road to the capital landing, containing about ten acres, on which 
 were erected a school-house, called "Matty's School," and a dwelling 
 house for the master, "upon trust to continue the same for the iisi* 
 of the said school, viz : and to teach the neediest children of the said 
 parish in the art of reading, writing and arithmetic, to eternalize 
 Matty's school forever." The testatrix also gave fifty pounds sterling, 
 and the residue of her estate, after paying certain legacies. Mrs.. 
 Whaley died in 1742. The executor failed to comply with the terms 
 of the will, and a suit was, in consequence, instituted in the Colo- 
 nial court, and a decree obtained re.jiiirinir the heir-at-law to convey 
 tho land, and the executor, Mr. .lames K ran noes, to pay the iit'tj 
 pounds and account for the residue. The conveyance was soon a Her 
 made, but the money was not pai'l, and a suit was brought against 
 lh- executor in the English court of ehancrry, where it was decree. 1 
 in 1752, that the charity ou-ht to be established, and that ' 
 Utor should pay into the OOUrt five hundred pounds sterling. Tlii* 
 i was paid and ordered to he invested in Knijish 
 
HISTORICAL SKETCH. 67 
 
 Nothing further was done till 1866, when an English attorney, Mr. 
 C. M. Fisher, after corresponding with the Faculty, and learning that 
 the College would consent to execute the trust to the extent of re- 
 ceiving into the preparatory department of the College, without 
 charge for tuition, fifteen of the neediest boys of the Parish, applied 
 to the chancery court for, and obtained a decree, directing the 
 whole sum to be paid to the College on the condition mentioned. 
 The net amount received was about eight thousand two hundred 
 dollars. 
 
 The correspondence was commenced by Mr. Fisher in 1859, and 
 was first directed to the rector of the parish, and by the rector re- 
 ferred to the College. 
 
 This whole transaction reflects great credit on the English people 
 and government. That a sum of money, and its accumulation of 
 dividends, belonging to parties in a foreign land, should be paid, 
 without dispute or cavil, after the lapse of more than a century 
 notwithstanding the bitterness of feeling resulting from two severe 
 wars, is an evidence of national integrity and honor that ought to 
 make every American, who has English blood in his veins, feel 
 proud of his ancestry. 
 
 The preparatory department, its name being in virtue of a second 
 condition, changed to the " Grammar and Matty School," thus en- 
 dowed, bids fair to become useful and prosperous. 
 
 It may be observed, that the city of Williamsburg, in which the 
 College is located, has a population of nearly two thousand, and has 
 long been celebrated for the hospitality of its inhabitants, making 
 it a most agreeable residence for the student. Of late, the town and 
 the adjacent country have been much improved. Timber has been 
 cleared away, and a better system of cultivation introduced ; and the 
 result has been a decided improvement in the healthiness of the lo- 
 cality. Few places in the State can boast a more sulubrious climate 
 than this during the College session. Diseases peculiar to the low 
 country prevail only in the months of August and September, and 
 of late years, these have been very mild in their character and easily 
 controlled by medicines. From October to July, while the College 
 is in session, these diseases are never contracted. The winter cli- 
 mate is delightful, the cold being moderated by the large bodies of 
 salt water in the vicinity, while it is too far distant from the ocean 
 to be much affected by storms. The heat of summer is neutralized 
 by the same means, so that in the hottest weather the thermometer 
 ranges from three to five degrees lower than in Richmond. 
 
 Students from the upper country need be under no apprehension 
 
68 HISTORICAL SKETCH. 
 
 from the effect of the climate ; while to those predisposed to pulmo- 
 nary complaints it would be decidedly beneficial. During the pres- 
 ent century, only seven deaths have occurred among the students of 
 the College, and two of these were from drowning. 
 
 The College of William and Mary, as well by its past history as 
 its capacity for future usefulness, has a just claim to the sympathy 
 and aid of the friends of learning, wherever they are to be found. 
 
 More especially does this claim apply to Episcopalians in behalf 
 of what was the oldest church institution in America. 
 
 The following is from the address before quoted : 
 
 The associations which cluster around this locality, render it peculiarly ap- 
 propriate for a seat of learning. Can the young heart maintain a quiet pulse 
 in wandering amid the ruins which tell of a glorious past, and everywhere 
 meet his eye ? Will he not gather from the very fragments which lie scattered 
 over the earth at Jamestown, almost in sight of this spot, a lesson never to be 
 forgotten, inspiring him with courage and perseverance in the great battle of 
 life? 
 
 Will not these fragments tell him a tale of hardship and suffering on the part 
 of the early settlers, unequalled in the history of his race, and of an ultimate 
 triumphant conclusion more grand in its results than fancy ever sketched or 
 poet in rapt imagination ever sang? 
 
 Will not that broken steeple, reared centuries ago in honor of the living God, 
 preach to him like an aged minister, and impress upon his heart the all-gov- 
 erning truth that without Divine assistance nothing great and nothing good 
 can ever be accomplished ? 
 
 Does he seek incentives to an ardent and burning patriotism? Let him visit 
 the ruins of the old capitol, and ponder there until his heart expands and his 
 lips give utterance to that exclamation which aroused a continent from slumber. 
 
 Let him, then, find his way to the Apollo Hall of the old Raleigh Tavern, 
 and mrx with the noble spirits in their deep deliberations on the great crises 
 that had arisen. Those who assembled there were for the most part his elder 
 brothers, sons of the same Alma Mater. 
 
 In a few hours thereafter he may find himself wandering over the entrench- 
 ments at Yorktown, behind which British power made its last defence. 
 
 These memorials of the mighty past are not dead and voiceless. They speak 
 more eloquently than the Roman or Athenian of old before the Senate or As- 
 sembly of the people. They tell of past glory and an; the oracles that unveil 
 the future. Sinking deep into the heart of youth, they inspire it with the lofty 
 desires which make ambition virtue. 
 
 The oldest, save one, of all the literary institutions of the I'mlcd States 
 William and Mary has contributed its- full share to the public enlightenment, 
 and made a mark in history which neither lire ran eonsumc nor dn>t. nor:! 
 oh-eiire. Thriee now lias its genius been driven by cruel llames fro.n the edi- 
 fices erected fnr her abode. To-day >he i< banished from her ancient temple 
 that temple i- now in ruin-. 
 
HISTOKICAL SKETCH. 69 
 
 These hallowed walls, in which the calm voice of philosophy has 
 for so many generations been heard, have not been allowed to stand 
 a blackened monument of the desolations of war and a reproach to 
 our age and people. On the contrary, new and more beautiful temples 
 have arisen to receive and welcome the genius of education, and to 
 foster that philosophy and those arts and sciences, the achievements 
 of which it is the glory of a nation to honor as the noblest victories 
 of peace.* 
 
 *The appeal made after the fire of 1859, to Virginians and others, for aid to the College, was 
 liberally responded to in this State and New York. Among those who made donations in sums 
 of five hundred dollars and upwards, were :

 His humanity and benevolence 
 To the criminal his duty obliged him to prosecute, 
 
 Were not more conspicuous 
 
 Than his Learning and Integrity in Ms Profession. 
 After an extensive practice in the General Court, 
 
 He resigned his Law employments ; 
 And being elected Speaker of the House of Burgesses, 
 
 Discharged the duties of that high office 
 
 With such Ease, Dignity and Impartiality, 
 
 That he was frequently called to the Chair, by the 
 
 Unanimous voice 
 
 ~~ Of the Representatives of the People. 
 When the measures of the British Ministry 
 Compelled the American Congress to unite their Councils 
 
 In General Congress, 
 He was chosen first Delegate for this Colony 
 
 To that illustrious Assembly ; 
 
 And was by them unanimously elected their PRESIDENT. 
 
 While he was a third time attending to that great Great Council, 
 
 A sudden stroke of the Palsy deprived 
 
 America of a firm Patriot, 
 
 His Country of a wise and faithful Senator, 
 
 His acquaintance of an invaluable Friend, 
 
 His family of the most affectionate Husband 
 
 And kindest Master.

 of Students of an earlier date were obtained from different sources. 
 
 The College records containing the names of Students before 1827, being exceedingly im- 
 perfect and in a mutilated condition, it is certain a great number are omitted. Any person 
 who may detect an error in this Catalogue will confer a favor on the Faculty, by communi-

EXPENSES AND COLLEGE FEES. 
 
 Tuition. $30 00 
 
 Matriculation Fee, - 5 00 
 
 Servant's Hire and Contingent Expenses, - 5 00 
 
 Board at College Hotel, 160 00

 Fuel, Lights and Washing, - From $25 to 35 00 
 
 Board may be obtained of families at advanced rates. 
 JB^ There is no extra fee for Modern Languages. 
 
 Thus a Student's expenses at this College need not be more than 
 $230.00, or if he enters on a scholarship, $200.00. 
 
 There is connected with the College a Preparatory Department, 
 called the Grammar and "Matty" School, founded by Mrs. Mary 
 Whaley, of Bruton Parish, Virginia, in 1742. 
 
 This School, which opens the 1st of October, and closes the 20th 
 of July, is under the supervision of the Faculty. The Scholars are 
 taught the usual English branches, with Latin, Greek and Mathe- 
 matics, and are prepared for College. They are subjected to proper 
 restraint and discipline. Boys under twelve not admitted. 
 
 All College charges are payable, half-yearly, in advance. 
 
 Those joining the department of Natural Philosophy and Chem- 
 istry, shall pay an additional fee of five dollars for the use of the 
 apparatus. 
 
 Students may reduce the charges for Board to at least one-half by 
 renting rooms, providing their own furniture, and forming messes, ob- 
 taining supplies from their homes if practicable. This plan has 
 been found, on trial, to be a success, and to prove a great saving. 
 
 To give meritorious young men in limited circumstances the 
 means of obtaining an education, FIFTEEN SCHOLARSHIPS, exempting 
 those admitted on them from the payment of tuition fees, have been 
 founded in the College. 
 
 Applications for these scholarships must be made before the 
 
 of the session, 
 
 In addition to (he above number of scholarships, each Pro- 
 lias t IM- power to confer a scholarship on two students, selected 
 jinmuilly from tln.-ir Classes, as a reward of merit, and for good 
 standing in ih'-ir clw

 his studies, or that he is addicted to any vice or immorality, or that 
 his example is pernicious to his fellow-students, they may, although 
 without positive evidence, advise his parent or guardian to with-

 Faculty. 
 
 19. Students shall not unnecessarily absent themselves from their

 B^T'The note on page 117 shows that from 1786 to 1823 the average number 
 of students at the College was about 45. Since that time the average has in- 
 creased a great deal ; but the lists for the different sessions, as contained in 
 this catalogue, would make it appear to be less as the plan has been adopted, 
 to save space, of only inserting the name of each student once, and not repeat- 
 ing for each session he attended. i 
 
 Hence the lists for the most part only show the number of new matriculates 
 for each year. The name of each student (with few exceptions) is inserted the 
 year he entered College or, in case he took a degree, in the list of the year 
 he graduated. 
 
 &$r The attention of the Alumni, and all interested in the College, is called 
 to the note at the head of the catalogue, on page 74 ; also to the note at the 
 foot of page 155. The Faculty, assisted by many of the Alumni, have labored 
 very hard to make this catalouge as near perfect as possible. Should errors, 
 and there are yet we fear very many, be detected and a correction of them 
 sent to the secretary of the Faculty, they will be properly preserved and the 
 corrections made in the next edition, whenever published. 
 
 Parties will please make no changes that they do not personally know to be 
 correct.
