Class Banners

Each class designs a banner that will represent them while at school and at reunions in the future.

Ivy Planting

At graduation, a member of the graduating class plants ivy next to a wall or a building.

The Mountains

The College alma mater, composed by Williams graduate Washington Gladden, puts the setting of Williams into words.

Watch Dropping

Also at graduation, a watch is dropped from the top of the college chapel. If the watch breaks, the graduating class will be lucky.
