The
College of William and Mary
-
William and Mary is the nation's second oldest college, and was
chartered February 8, 1693. The Sir Christopher Wren Building at the
College is the oldest academic building in continuous use within the
United States. The original Wren building was constructed between 1695
and 1699, before Williamsburg was even founded, and the Virginia colony's
capital was still located at
Jamestown. Though the building has been
destroyed three times by fire, each time it has been rebuilt, with the
current building dating from 1862.
The campus spreads across 1,200 acres. The "Ancient Campus"
section adjoins
Colonial Williamsburg, and has been restored to its 18th
century appearance.
There are currently about 7,650 students enrolled at this liberal arts
College, with over 5,700 undergraduates. The college has a faculty of 567
and maintains an impressive student-faculty ratio of 12 to 1.
