Justice O’Connor Appointed Chancellor at William and Mary
Posted on October 7th, 2005
(Source: College of William and Mary)"Hey, Justice O'Connor, you just wrapped up a 24-year stint on the Supreme court. What are you going to do next?"
"I'm going to William and Mary!"
Well, not exactly. The position of chancellor at the nation's second-oldest college is largely an honorary designation, a high-end advisor who's supposed to counsel the president and board. Past chancellors include Henry Kissinger, Margaret Thatcher, Warren Burger (another member of the Supreme Court), and some guy named George Washington.
A time-honored tradition, to be sure, and one that garners William and Mary a bit of prestige and national ink.
