This collection includes two scrapbooks kept by former dean of the College of William and Mary, W. Melville Jones. The first scrapbook details a wide range of campus events and celebrations including the annual 18th century Christmas party, President Davis Paschall's inauguration, Charter Day celebrations, and various commencement ceremonies. In addition, the scrapbook highlights the personal and professional achievements of Dr. Jones, including his induction into the Draper's Company, an ancient English guild.

The second scrapbook primarily contains photographs from commencement ceremonies (1963-1971), Charter Day festivities (1963-1972) and the 1969 convocation. In addition, this scrapbook also includes newspaper clippings of both the inauguration and retirement of William and Mary President David Paschall, the inauguration of William and Mary President Thomas Graves, and Dr. Jones' own retirement.

Content Warning

ARVAS is an aggregator of archival resources. ARVAS does not have control of the descriptive language used in our members’ finding aids.

Finding aids may contain historical terms and phrases, reflecting the shared attitudes and values of the community from which they were collected, but are offensive to modern readers. These include demeaning and dehumanizing references to race, ethnicity, and nationality; enslaved or free status; physical or mental ability; religion; sex; and sexual orientation and gender identity.

Many institutions and organizations are in the process of reviewing and revising their descriptive language, with the intent to describe materials in more humanizing, inclusive, and harm-reductive ways. As members revise their descriptive language, their changes will eventually be reflected in their ARVAS finding aids.
