[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I saw a good analogy once that I think is generally true - UMW is like a mini version of W&M, CNU is like a mini version of UVA/JMU. [/quote]

Interesting because CNU was founded as an extension of the College of William & Mary and remained such until 1977.[/quote]

That might be true but the vibe is totally different. for example CNU has a great marching band and good football game attendance and strives for more of a classic school spirit.  In these day-to-day social ways, it feels more like a small university whereas William and Mary and Mary Washington have more of a LAC feel. [/quote]

"When I came 20 years ago, in truth, Christopher Newport was going out of business," Trible said. "The enrollment had been in decline for many years, and you didn't have to be a rocket scientist to realize we had to strike out in a different direction. So I said, 'Look, we were born out of the College of William and Mary. Let's return to our roots, let's embrace the liberal arts and sciences, and let's pursue a traditional student population.'   -- Paul Trible, President of CNU[/quote]
