It currently houses the Departments of Philosophy and History, the National Institute of American History & Democracy, University Counsel, and other administrative offices. </p><p>James Blair Hall was constructed by T.A. Loving for $175,250 with a Public Works Administration grant with American Walnut woodwork. Built between 1934-1935, it was intended to house the Marshall-Wythe School of Government and Citizenship. The first floor was designed to hold administrative offices (for the president, deans, bursar, business manager, registrar and treasurer), a large business office, conference room, two file rooms, record room, and two reception rooms. The second floor had 8 classrooms and 7 offices for faculty members, with similar plans for the third floor. The Administrative Offices moved into the building on July 1, 1935. </p><p>In 1936, the second and third floors were occupied by the departments of Economics, Government, History, Sociology, and the School of Jurisprudence. A dedication ceremony for the building was held in April 1937. In 1943, the Navy Chaplain's School on campus during World War II was located on the second floor. In 1959, a new phone system was installed for the campus and the equipment for the system was kept in the basement of the building. In 1962, the President's and Admissions offices moved to Ewell Hall.</p><p>In 1968, the building was renamed James Blair Hall, after the Law School moved into the old library building (known today as Tucker Hall).</p><p>As the home of the Law School, it was from James Blair Hall that William & Mary graduated its first African American student - Edward August Travis in 1954. Miriam Carter was the first African American woman to attend William & Mary when she was admitted to the Law School. The first African American woman to receive a degree was 1978 law graduate Sharon Coles-Stewart.</p><p>James Blair Hall was named for the Rev. James Blair, the first president at William & Mary, serving from its founding in 1693 until 1743.</p><p><em><strong><a href="https://tribetrek.wm.edu/items/show/110">For more (including 5 images) view the original article</a></strong></em></p>]]></summary>

In the past, the site has also been known as the Common Glory Stage, Matoaka Park, Matoaka Woods, Lake Matoaka Amphitheatre, or simply the Amphitheatre. The amphitheater was planned in 1946 on the site of an old boathouse and was intended to be used for colonial pageants in the summer and William & Mary functions during the academic year.</p><p>The Jamestown Corporation oversaw building the stage, dressing and prop rooms, and spotlight towers. Designed by architect Charles M. Major, the amphitheater opened in Summer 1947 with the production of The Common Glory which ran from July 17 to September 14.</p><p>In 1977, the lease with the Jamestown Corporation ended. Two years later, equipment was auctioned, while storage and dressing rooms were used by dance classes. In May 2006, a $7.6 million renovation began in cooperation with the Jamestown 2007 commemoration. Improvements include a new stage and seating area, ADA access ramps, and underground utilities. New buildings provided space for equipment and a ticket office/restroom. The project was completed in April 2007.</p><p>In April 2016, the Board of Visitors renamed the amphitheater in honor of Martha Wren Briggs ('55) for her commitment to the facility's restoration. Her support provided the necessary funds to restore the stage, dressing rooms, sound and lighting systems, seats and entrance area, as well as ensuring the facility is accessible to those with disabilities.</p><p><em><strong><a href="https://tribetrek.wm.edu/items/show/106">For more (including 6 images) view the original article</a></strong></em></p>]]></summary>

Since 1980, it's been the home of the English Department and the linguistics and Medieval-Renaissance programs.</p><p>The Tucker family provides an example of the complicated and often antagonistic history of African Americans at William & Mary.</em></strong></p><img src="https://tribetrek.wm.edu/files/fullsize/67c27091292ac97ceb1d0fe951f4e095.jpg" alt="Tucker Hall, Circa 2009" /><br/><p>Tucker Hall was opened in 1909 as the Library. Expanded greatly in 1923 and 1929, it has served several functions throughout its history. The first building solely dedicated as a library, it remained as such until 1966. It then housed the Law School and was renamed Marshall-Wythe Hall in 1968. A dozen years later, the Law School moved, and was replaced by the English Department and the Linguistics and Medieval-Renaissance programs. It was then it was renamed for St. George Tucker, a Virginia Supreme Court Justice, federal judge, and the second law professor at William & Mary - succeeding his mentor George Wythe.</p><p>The complicated relationship within the Tucker family about slavery mirrors the relationship between William & Mary and African Americans. The namesake of Tucker Hall, St. George Francis, studied law here under George Wythe (the first law professor in the nation) and eventually succeeded him in 1790. Six years later, he wrote and published <i>A Dissertation on Slavery: With A Proposal for the Gradual Abolition of It in the State of Virginia</i>. However, his son Nathaniel Beverly Tucker (who also studied and taught law at William & Mary) was an ardent supporter of enslaving others, calling it beneficial for all involved. These adversarial viewpoints continued well after the 13th amendment, into Reconstruction, Jim Crow, Civil Rights movements, and the first residency of African Americans in 1967 at William & Mary.</p><p><em><strong><a href="https://tribetrek.wm.edu/items/show/99">For more (including 3 images) view the original article</a></strong></em></p>]]></summary>

Jefferson was a student at the university from 1760-1762 and his drawings of the Wren building aided the university  in its rebuilding after one of its several fires. Jefferson called for the emancipation of slaves in Notes of the State of Virginia (1781) and encouraged skepticism about the way slavery was taught at William & Mary during the antebellum era.</p><p>Jefferson was also a slave holder – a fact that William & Mary students do not want to be forgotten. During the fall of 2015, students covered this statue in sticky notes, labelling Jefferson a 'racist', 'rapist', 'slave owner', and 'hypocrite'. The protest sparked debates amongst the campus about the way in which the Founding Fathers are portrayed in modern society.</p><p><em><strong><a href="https://tribetrek.wm.edu/items/show/93">For more (including 3 images) view the original article</a></strong></em></p>]]></summary>

" /><br/><p>In 1926, William & Mary was gifted and accepted a flagpole by the Ku Klux Klan. The unveiling ceremony was allegedly attended by thousands of individuals, many of whom were members of the KKK themselves. Originally erected here at the corner of Boundary and Jamestown, the flag was moved in the 1950s to a new site at James Blair hall where it flew the state flag to assert states' rights during Massive Resistance. </p><p>The 'final' resting place of the flagpole is unknown but is being researched by Professor of English Emeritus Terry Meyers. Though Special Collections houses the program from the flagpole's unveiling, the plaque it displayed was apparently thrown out by a university employee to avoid embarrassment.  </p><p><em><strong><a href="https://tribetrek.wm.edu/items/show/90">For more (including 3 images) view the original article</a></strong></em></p>]]></summary>

The Bray School, which was named after Reverend Thomas Bray and operated by Anne Wager, was created "for the instruction of Negro Children in the Principles of the Christian religion." Many of the students were enslaved though free black children also attended the school. Williamsburg was recommended by Benjamin Franklin as a potential site for a  Bray School, as well as New York and Rhode Island. From 2012-2014, Colonial Williamsburg and members of the William & Mary community worked to excavate the site of the Bray School. </p><p><em><strong><a href="https://tribetrek.wm.edu/items/show/89">For more view the original article</a></strong></em></p>]]></summary>

Opened in 1929, it has provided the residence for a limited number of Junior and Senior women. </p><p>The current sororities with houses here consist of Kappa Kappa Gamma, Alpha Chi Omega, Chi Omega, Delta Delta Delta, Pi Beta Phi, Kappa Delta, Delta Gamma, Gamma Phi Beta, Kappa Alpha Theta, and Alpha Epsilon Pi. The Moncure and Bozarth houses are not occupied by sororities. </p><p>Since women were first admitted in 1918, sororities have always played a unique and pivotal role in the lives of women students. They were safe spaces at a time when there were few women in higher education. In the beginning, sorority housing was spread throughout the area. In the early 1920s, William & Mary began purchasing homes on Richmond Road to house sororities. Throughout the decade, additional nearby houses were acquired for sororities. When Kappa Alpha Theta arrived in 1928, it joined Chi Omega and Alpha Chi Omega in the Sorority Complex. In 1929, three new houses were built and occupied by Kappa Delta, Pi Beta Phi, and Alpha Chi Omega. These houses were the first on campus to have dining rooms, forever changing sorority life.</p><p>The national governing bodies of many sororities denied women of color the opportunity to join until the late 1960's. This aligned with the first African American students in residence at William & Mary in 1967. Despite this, Black women created spaces where they could support each other through sisterhood. Sororities in the “Divine Nine” created chapters at William & Mary. The Mu Upsilon Chapter of Delta Sigma Theta Sorority, Incorporated was founded at the university in 1976; the Nu Chi chapter of Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority was founded in 1981; the Xi Lambda Chapter of Zeta Phi Beta Sorority, Incorporated was founded 1982; the Sigma Lambda chapter of Sigma Gamma Rho Sorority, Incorporated was founded 2011 in, but is no longer active at the university. Non-Black women of color also carved out spaces to support each other. On April 7, 2013, nine women created the Beta Delta chapter of Hermandad de Sigma Iota Alpha, Incorporada, a Latin-based sorority. The Founding Mother Class of Delta Phi Omega Sorority, Incorporated, a South Asian-interest, multicultural sorority, was founded on November 6, 2016; the sorority’s presence at the university continues to grow.</p><p><em><strong><a href="https://tribetrek.wm.edu/items/show/71">For more (including 6 images) view the original article</a></strong></em></p>]]></summary>

The Randolph Complex houses upperclassmen and include the language houses.</p><p>The buildings in the complex are named for Virginia governors: Giles, Pleasants, Harrison, Page, Tazewell, Cabell, Nicholas, and Preston. The complex itself is named for four Randolph men, all graduates of William & Mary, who served as governors of Virginia: Edmund Randolph (1753-1813), Beverly Randolph (1754-1797), Peyton Randolph (1779-1828), and Thomas Mann Randolph (1768-1828). </p><p>Construction of five of the buildings (four dormitories for housing 246 students and one building for activities) was completed in July 1980. In the same year, five sorority court houses underwent renovation and the women previously living in those houses occupied Giles and Pleasants for the first semester of the 1980-1981 academic year. The dedication ceremony for the Randolph Complex was held on October 11, 1980 at Tazewell House on Parents' Weekend. Two new dormitories, Nicholas and Preston, were built in 1988 to house 106 more students. In March 2005, an exhaust fan sparked a fire in Preston Hall and, as a result, some students began the next school year living at Colonial Williamsburg's Governor's Inn.</p><p><em><strong><a href="https://tribetrek.wm.edu/items/show/69">For more (including 9 images) view the original article</a></strong></em></p>]]></summary>

Willis Sr. Hall is a freshman dormitory at William & Mary located on Jamestown Road between the Campus Center and Admissions Office. The building can house up to 60 students, and was originally named after William Booth Taliaferro, class of 1842, American Civil War soldier, and Rector of the Board of Visitors 1890-1899. In 2021, the building was renamed to honor Hulon L. Willis, Sr. "the College’s first Black student, who received his graduate degree from the College in 1956. Willis was a veteran of World War II upon enrolling in the College. He later went on to become a professor at Virginia Commonwealth University." <a href="https://flathatnews.com/2021/04/23/college-renames-morton-taliaferro-tyler-following-months-of-pressure-from-students-faculty/">(see Flat Hat 4/23/2021)</a> The building has served as a dormitory, bookstore, and tea room since its completion in June 1935. The construction of the building was made possible by a Public Works Administration (PWA) grant and loan of $650,000. In keeping with tradition, the building was designed to mimic the Georgian architecture of its neighboring structures. It began as a men's dormitory, but, in 1978, it became the first co-ed freshman dormitory at the university. From 1986 to 1988, Taliaferro Hall housed freshmen designated as Presidential Scholars, which later morphed into the Monroe Scholar Program, the most prestigious academic program at William & Mary.</p><p><em><strong><a href="https://tribetrek.wm.edu/items/show/66">For more (including 6 images) view the original article</a></strong></em></p>]]></summary>

Ludwell is currently home to many upperclassman.</p><p>The Ludwell Apartments were built in the 1930s and were leased to William & Mary as early as the late 1950s and 1960s. In 1965, Ludwell housed mostly first year and out-of-state women students in six apartments of 25 students each.

This project added 128,000 square feet of new living space for 380 students - 200 in Hardy Hall. Within the residence are reading rooms, game rooms, and lounges.</p><p>In April 2016, the Board of Visitors voted unanimously to rename Jamestown North Hardy Hall in honor of the late Dr. Carroll FS Hardy, a former Associate Vice President of Student Affairs. She also founded STEP, a program to help underrepresented high school seniors develop math, writing, and study skills. She also established the Hulon Willis Foundation for African American students and alumni, worked to increase diversity of William & Mary's student body through six summer enrichment programs for students in grades 8 to 12, and helped create and support 15 multicultural student organizations at William & Mary. </p><p>This renaming made Lemon and Hardy Halls the first buildings on campus named for people of color.</p><p><em><strong><a href="https://tribetrek.wm.edu/items/show/64">For more (including 3 images) view the original article</a></strong></em></p>]]></summary>
