School Notes:

The College was founded in Annapolis in 1696 as King William's School and chartered in 1784 as St. John's College. A second campus was opened in 1964 in Santa Fe. St. John's is a four-year, co-educational, liberal arts college with no religious affiliation.
The Santa Fe campus, opened in 1964 and located in the capital of New Mexico, reflects the traditions of the Spanish and Indian civilizations as well as those of the U.S. settlers who followed in the nineteenth century. The magnificent views from the Santa Fe campus are limited only by the surrounding mountain ranges. In close proximity to several national parks, the Santa Fe campus affords students the chance to explore the physical beauty of the Southwest and to take advantage of hiking, mountain biking, and skiiing opportunities.
St. John's is accredited by the Maryland State Department of Education, by the Middle States Commission on Higher Education, by the American Academy for Liberal Education and by the North Central Association of Colleges and Secondary Schools.

The Cathedral Basilica of St. Francis of Assisi doesn't have one. La Fonda on the Plaza tore its out and replaced it with an ATM machine. There was one on Marcy Street outside La Boca Restaurant, but it didn't work and was removed earlier this week.
