English: Identifier: worldsstoryhisto12tapp (find matches) On landing in Maryland (1634), an altar was built and mass was celebrated. Then all the Roman Catholics went a little to one side where a great tree had been roughly hewn into a cross. The priests, the governor, the commissioners,and the chief men among the adventurers lifted it upon their shoulders, and walked slowly to the place that had been made ready for it. It was set up, and all knelt around it and recited the Litany of the Sacred Cross. Then GovernorCalvert stood beside it and said, I hereby take possessionof Terra Mariae for our Blessed Saviour and for our sovereign Lord, the King of England. So it was that Maryland was founded. Text appearing after image: LIFE ON A VIRGINIA PLANTATION to become pupils. Money was raised and a president was chosen. An Indian massacre and the overthrow of the London Company prevented these plans from being carried out immediately; but even then, the college of William and Mary, founded in 1692, was, save for Harvard, the first college in America. A place was chosen for its home which was also to be the capital of the colony. It was named Williamsburg, and the original plan was to lay its streets out in the shape of a "W" and an "M," in honor of the sovereigns of England. The students were always few, but three presidents of the United States have been among them; and governors,judges, and other public officials without number. So it was that life went on in Virginia in good old colony times. The planter's wife, with the large house to superintend, was a busy woman The planter was like a monarch, for on his own plantation his word was law. |
