Scope and Contents

From the File:

Born in Louisville and raised in Bethesda, Jane Bates (née Harland) attended William & Mary from 1969-1973. She was on the varsity field hockey team and participated in several intramural sports. Her excellence in swimming and diving led to her introduction to the William and Mary Athletic Hall of Fame in 1985. Originally a math major, she switched to secondary education with a focus on physical education. During her time in Williamsburg, she pledged Gamma Phi Beta and taught swimming. After graduation, she was a YMCA aquatics director and a substitute teacher wherever her U.S. Army officer husband was stationed. Her interview discusses this and her experience at William & Mary, touching on the gender and race relations of that time.
