Crim Dell bridge
The Crim Dell bridge is a wooden bridge on the College of William & Mary’s campus in Williamsburg, Virginia, USA and is considered one of the College's most scenic areas. Crim Dell itself is actually the pond that the bridge crosses over, but the bridge is commonly referred to as Crim Dell.
The bridge made was opened on William & Mary’s first-ever Parents' Day in 1966.〔(''The Flat Hat'' online: Crim Dell – 43 years of tradition in history ). Accessed April 25, 2008.〕 Davis Paschall, the College President at the time, had the idea to build a newer, more elaborate bridge than the bare, unpainted one that had previously occupied the spot.〔 For a short time, the spot was considered to be the grounds for a new library, but was ultimately decided against. Crim Dell was funded by three primary sources: the 1964 senior class gift, a man by the name of John Baer who was a friend of the College, and the family of John W. H. Crim. John was a distinguished alumnus (Class of 1901) of the College.〔 Before this, the site had in fact been a gully in which passersby threw their garbage; the pond was artificially created by damming College Creek just below the location of the future bridge.
On a mounted plaque near the bridge is a quote by Paschall to commemorate Crim Dell’s dedication on May 7, 1966 (see picture). It reads:
"…that one may walk in beauty, discover the serenity of the quiet moment, and dispel the shadows."
==Traditions and urban legends==
The Crim Dell bridge and pond, aside from being important facets of the College’s campus, are also the center of several myths and traditions.
