Alvin Duke Chandler, the twenty-third President of the College of William and Mary, has continued to show his excellent administrative ability and devotion to the best interests of the students throughout this year. He has persistently worked for various improvements in the College such as the construction of new buildings. Even more important have been his efforts to continue William and Mary ' s role as one of the finest colleges by raising the standards and quality of education. Not only interested in our college, he has also been very active on the Jamestown Commission. As our representative, he was a dignified and worthy host during the visits of Queen Elizabeth and Prince Philip of England, and the King of Morocco. On November 16th the Alumni Medallion was conferred upon the President by the Society of the Alumni in appreciation of his service to the College.
