Charles Duke Portrait, circa 1940-1949<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n

Charles Duke<\/strong> served as the fourth director of the Norfolk Division of the College of William & Mary<\/a><\/strong>, from 1941 to 1946, after the resignation of William T. Hodges. A Norfolk native and graduate of William & Mary<\/strong> in 1923, Duke served as the bursar at the Williamsburg campus while serving as director in Norfolk. Two of his greatest achievements while director include the reorganization of the Evening College<\/strong> as a separate unit, and navigating the division through World War II. The later involved offering war training classes<\/a> for women to help keep the division open. After serving as both director of the division and bursar at William & Mary became too much, Duke stepped down as director in 1946 and suggested the appointment of Lewis W. Webb, Jr.<\/a><\/strong>, associate director, to lead the division.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
