5?J55t535s53J ' ' v ' ' ' C ' V €l)c Colonial Ccl)o, 1921 5? ' a ' S . ain 15uiIDins of tbe College The facade of the main l)uikhng of the Old College is perhaps the best known aca- demic corridor in America. Originally designed by Sir Christopher Wren to be the center of the projected rec- tangle fronting east down the ancient Middle Plantation Road, and completed in 1697, the walls of the old front have sustained three fires, and suns and storms of more than two centuries. No William and Mary student but must feel a challenge to the best that is in him as he passes day by day through these portals where have passed as students the men destined to lead the col- onies, the State, and the Na- tion to larger issues in peace and war.

MMMyiMM i yi i MM M g CljE Colonisl BtiiO, 1021 5S 2DID 16raffc«on Built in 1723, as directed in the will of the Honorable Robert Boyle, eminent in the history of early English sci- ence, out of the proceeds of the sale of his Brafiferton estate in the North Riding of Yorkshire, the Brafferton started its career as a dormi- tory and school for chosen Indian youth of promise, who were to be kept in meat, drink, washing, clothes, medi- cine, books and education from the first beginning of letters till they should be ready to be sent abroad to convert the Indians. With the stoppage of the supply of indigenous material, the Brafiferton became the abode of pale-faces; but for more than a century, if one may judge by blood-curdling yells which periodically ema- nate from its historic walls, the spirit of the youthful braves has still hovered over the m ; and figures clad in war paint and tomahawk may un- der cover of darkness still be seen to steal forth from this, the original wigwam, taking the warpath in true Indian file. With the ruthless march of progress, room after room of the old Indian school is fall- ing to use as prosaic offices; but old Braffertonians of by- gone years will ever smile, and feel their hearts grow youth- ful again, as memories of High Jinks in the old build- ing come back to them.
