If my history and memory are still intact, (doubtful, I'm sure), William and Mary is the oldest college in America.

W&M is the second oldest, founded in 1693. Harvard is older (cir. 1636). (When I went to W&M ['88] we called Harvard the "William and Mary of the North". :) I don't even recognize the place anymore. There haven't been any donations from me since Nichols took over.

You are not the only one to stop donating to W&M. In the long run Nichols will do irreparable harm to this once top college.

Thanks for your correction. I'll have to remember that. (Doubtful, I'm sure.): )

As an alumnus, it must gall you to see the college in such a state.
