The James Frederic Carr Memorial Cup
The James Frederic Carr Memorial Cup was established in honor of a William & Mary student who served with distinction in the First World War and lost his life before he could return to graduate. The award recognizes the student who best exemplifies character, scholarship and leadership.
The recipient of the 2021 Carr Memorial Cup is Abram Clear ’21. Clear will graduate with a Bachelor of Arts in linguistics and anthropology and recently accepted an offer to pursue a fully-funded linguistics M.A. at University of Toronto.
A 2021 Rhodes Scholarship finalist, Clear distinguished himself as a true academic and campus leader. His senior honors thesis focused on the dialect of his family, based in the Appalachian Mountains, specifically on vowel production and perception.
WSU administration wants the maximum number of in-person experiences for students, university registrar Matthew Zimmerman said.
“It’s part of the college experience and it seems that students do better with in-person instruction,” he said.
The goal is for most classes to be held either entirely in person or in a hybrid model. Zimmerman said smaller classes like labs and major-focused courses will be in person.
Only 5 percent of classes will be completely virtual, Zimmerman said. The university is planning for courses with over 100 students to be online.
The WSU Office of the Registrar is allowing professors to teach larger classes using the hybrid model, he said.

A diploma from William & Mary comes with lots of perks, and with an additional stamp of approval.
If a student has earned the credits to graduate, Wendy Urbano has shepherded every single one of them along to make sure it happens.
For her twin superpowers of meticulous proficiency and great attitude while doing it, Urbano, manager of academic and degree progress in the Office of the Registrar, will be honored with the 2021 Charles and Virginia Duke Award.
The award recognizes outstanding employees for exemplary individual accomplishments in their professional lives and service to the William & Mary community.” Urbano will officially be recognized at Commencement on May 21-23. She is one of two people to receive Duke Awards this year. The other is Darlene White, a lead custodian on W&M’s Historic Campus.
