The College Observer was a supplement published by the Virginia Gazette specifically covering College of William and Mary news. Many of the writers and production people were students. The paper appeared weekly during the school year from September 1970 through December 1971 and is one of many College of William and Mary publications. Christopher Bram, class of 1974, mentioned that he wrote film reviews for the College Observer while a student in an interview conducted in 2005. See approximately minute 48 of the interview, which is available from the DSpace digital repository at http://dspace.swem.wm.edu/dspace/handle/10288/669.

A note about the information in this wiki
Unfortunately, many of the early original records of the College of William and Mary were destroyed by fire, military occupation, and the normal effects of time. The information available here is the best available from known documents and sources at the time it was written. Information in this wiki is not complete as new information continues to be uncovered in the SCRC's collections and elsewhere. Researchers are strongly encouraged to use the SCRC's access tools for their research as the information contained in this wiki is by no means comprehensive.
