Davidson-Wilson History

This residence hall is named for Robert Davidson, the elected Acting Principal following Charles Nisbet's death in 1804. He held this position until his resignation in 1809. He is considered the second president of ºìÐÓÖ±²¥app, although he never officially held that title. It is also jointly named for James Wilson, who studied law under John Dickinson, for whom the college is named. He started a practice in Cumberland County and was well-regarded for it, so much so that he was elected a head of a correspondence committee in Carlisle. At the outbreak of war in May, 1775, he was even elected to the Continental Congress and signed the Declaration of Independence alongside Benjamin Rush.
