Return To William & Mary Law School
In 1981 and 1982, Sullivan was a visiting law professor at the University of Virginia School of Law. He returned to Marshall-Wythe in 1984 as the John Stewart Bryan Professor of Jurisprudence, after serving for nearly three years as executive assistant for policy for then-Governor Charles S. Robb. Observers noted that Robb, whose subsequent record in the U.S. Senate few viewed as strong, never looked better or achieved more support for his decisions than he did when Sullivan was his principal advisor. Sullivan became dean of the Marshall-Wythe School of Law in July 1985. He was elected president of the College on April 9, 1992 by the Board of Visitors and was sworn in as president on June 1, just eight months before the school's 300th anniversary celebration.

Famous quotes containing the words return to, return, mary, law and/or school:
“Return to her? and fifty men dismissed?
No, rather I abjure all roofs, and choose
To wage against the enmity o’ th’ air,
To be a comrade with the wolf and owl—
Necessity’s sharp pinch.”
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
“The future of humanity is uncertain, even in the most prosperous countries, and the quality of life deteriorates; and yet I believe that what is being discovered about the infinitely large and infinitely small is sufficient to absolve this end of the century and millennium. What a very few are acquiring in knowledge of the physical world will perhaps cause this period not to be judged as a pure return of barbarism.”
—Primo Levi (1919–1987)
“I met with virgins seven,
And one of them was Mary mild,
Our Lord’s mother from heaven.”
—Unknown. The Seven Virgins (l. 2–4)
“One of the reforms to be carried out during the incoming administration is a change in our monetary and banking laws, so as to secure greater elasticity in the forms of currency available for trade and to prevent the limitations of law from operating to increase the embarrassment of a financial panic.”
—William Howard Taft (1857–1930)
“... the school should be an appendage of the family state, and modeled on its primary principle, which is, to train the ignorant and weak by self-sacrificing labor and love; and to bestow the most on the weakest, the most undeveloped, and the most sinful.”
—Catherine E. Beecher (1800–1878)
