William T. Hodges

William T. Hodges, former Dean of Men at William & Mary, came to the Norfolk Division of William & Mary in 1933 to serve as Director after the four-month tenure of Edward Gwathmey. In 1941, William & Mary President John Stewart Bryan asked for the resignation of Hodges due to a scandal regarding fixing grades and credit hours for select students. Despite the tremendous support from students and the community, Hodges resigned as Director in April 1941 but stayed at the Norfolk Division until 1942.
