It's not everyone that can claim a 314 year old academic institution as his alma mater, much less visits to his alma mater by, say, a Queen or something. But good old William and Mary has always had a close connection with England (it was the throne of England that started the humble institution, after all). As a student, I remember standing in a parking lot one afternoon when Margaret Thatcher (the Uni's chancellor at the time) walked by. However, I took a pass on the visit from Prince Charles, when he rocked up for the institution's 300th birthday. But all of that pales in comparison to Friday's visit by Queen Elizabeth, who returned to the campus after a 50 year abscence as she celebrated the 400 year anniversary of the colony of Jamestown. Some things never change. Some things change a lot.
