The College of William & Mary

were given the most recognition. However, there was no church in the original plan for the Academic Village. This may have been because Jefferson did not want to give students the ability to turn to the church as an excuse for not learning and searching for a logical answer. During this time, people would blame or praise God and religion when they were unsure of why something was happening. Jefferson, on the other hand, did not approach the world this way. He demonstrated his scientific manner when he tore out the miracles from the Bible so he could study only concrete facts. Once again, Jefferson found it more valuable to study and learn the real answer, then it was to rely on biblical stories. Throughout his childhood and college life, Jefferson studied and read books on philosophy, law, languages, math, and science. “Often he rose at dawn and plunged into books, books, books, until two in the morning.” Jefferson’s fascination and dedication to education did not stop with his own; he took a great deal of responsibility ensuring his children were furthering their knowledge despite his absence. In a letter to his daughter, Patsy, Jefferson outlines a schedule he expected she would follow while he was away from Philadelphia. Her curriculum consisted of dancing, drawing, music, writing, English, and French. These topics were typical of what a female was expected to learn during the late 1700s. It was also a reflection of Jefferson’s love of the French…

William stepped onto the floor. He paused at a bulletin board to read Christian-themed literature, and dates for upcoming Christian Coalition meetings and events. He turned and walked down a hallway lined with whitewashed doors to a single room at the end of the hall. He knocked softly. While he waited, he read from a whiteboard on the door.

perfect college, and every hopeful soon-to-be college student, centers their decision around a different “P” word. Some must focus on price, while others have the luxury of focusing on place. Some highlight the importance of good professors, while others prioritize the students they will be learning with, the people. Some investigate a college’s philosophy, while others search for a match with the schools political beliefs. I firmly believe that no matter which “P” word a student chooses to…

colonists and their neighboring tribes. Indian schools developed in several places, but most notably in the Massachusetts at Harvard and in Virginia at the College of William and Mary. For both institutions, the funding came from the will of Sir Robert Boyle, a well-known British scientist who wanted to contribute to society in “pious and charitable” ways. By creating Indian schools, Harvard and The College of William and Mary capitalized on these additional funds to sustain their institutions…

blunt allusion to Tabitha took William by surprise. He always suspected that Mary understood Tabitha’s control over him, but he never expected her to come right out and say it. “I won’t hold on for much longer,” Mary said through sniffles. “I know,” William whispered in her ear. “I know. Sign the contract.” “Really,” Mary said, looking up at him. “Sign the contract, Mary.” “You know what comes with this commitment.” “I do,” William said. They kissed. In the past, William and Mary’s kisses were…
