Glimpses of a Public Ivy is a collection of vignettes of life at William & Mary, America's second oldest college, from 1950 through 2000. Written by an award winning professor, the stories include extraordinary achievement, humerous incidents, unique characters and memories of day-to day life at the historic university. Holmes uses his own experience as a professor, along with interviews with faculty, alumni and staff, to paint a detailed, fond and rich picture which will inspire and amuse anyone with ties to William & Mary or any collegiate setting.
