Plaque memorializing Confederate troops
-
The Confederate plaque, which was erected in 1914 by the Board of Visitors and alumni, recognizes some of the William & Mary students and faculty who left the College in 1861 to join the Confederacy in the Civil War. It was one of many plaques in the entrance hallway of the historic Wren Building that honors W&M faculty and students who fought in wars, including the Revolutionary War, World Wars I and II, the Korean and Vietnam Wars and the Iraq and Afghanistan Wars. The Confederate plaque does not contain a complete accounting of all the alumni who fought for the Confederacy, only those faculty and students who were currently enrolled or worked at W&M when the war began and who left to join the Confederacy. Many of them returned to W&M after the war. Students who left to fight for the Union and alumni who did so, including the original commanding general of the U.S. Army during the Civil War, Winfield Scott, are missing from the plaque. It is now preserved at Special Collections at Swem Library.
