RESOLUTION
Celebrating the 325th anniversary of the founding of the College of
William & Mary in Virginia by British Royal Charter and congratulating
President W. Taylor Reveley, III, after a decade of tremendous
leadership as the 27th President of William & Mary.
Whereas, on February 8, 1693, King William III and Queen Mary II of England
signed the charter for a ``perpetual College of Divinity, Philosophy,
Languages, and other good Arts and Sciences'' to be founded in the
Virginia Colony, making William & Mary the Nation's second-oldest
college;
Whereas William & Mary is considered the Alma Mater of the Nation because it
educated Founding Fathers of the Nation, including George Washington,
Thomas Jefferson, John Tyler, and James Monroe;
Whereas William & Mary is a place of many firsts for the Nation, including the
first United States institution with a Royal Charter, the first Greek-
letter society (Phi Beta Kappa), the first student honor code, the first
college to become a university, and the first law school in America;
Whereas today, William & Mary functions as a comprehensive public research
university, educating future leaders in areas of the arts and sciences,
business, education, law, and marine science;
Whereas William & Mary has been led tremendously for the last ten years by W.
Taylor Reveley, III, William & Mary's 27th President; and
Whereas W. Taylor Reveley, III, has remarkably guided the Alma Mater of the
Nation to a position where it continues to thrive and has markedly
achieved success in many ways, including outstanding educational value,
a commitment to public service, and a diverse and inclusive community:
Now, therefore, be it
Resolved, That the House of Representatives celebrates the 325th
anniversary of the College of William & Mary's Royal Charter and
congratulates W. Taylor Reveley, III, on his retirement after a decade
of selfless and steadfast service as the institution's 27th President.
