Alvin Duke Chandler (August 18, 1902 – May 26, 1987)[4] was an American Navy officer and the twenty-first president of the College of William & Mary, serving from 1951 to 1960.[5] He also served as the chancellor of The Colleges of William & Mary from 1960 to 1962; after that system was disbanded, he served as Chancellor of the College from 1962 to 1974.[6] Prior to his career at the College of William & Mary, Chandler served in the United States Navy, eventually reaching the rank of vice-admiral. His father, Julian Alvin Carroll Chandler, also served as president of the College of William & Mary. His personal papers[7] as well as the papers from his time as president[8] can be found in the Special Collections Research Center at the College of William & Mary.

Rear Admiral Alvin Duke Chandler, 49, director of the Navy's logistics plans division, seemed able, energetic and affable enough, and his father, Julian A. C. Chandler, had been a William and Mary president before him (1919-34). The only thing wrong with Admiral Chandler, the faculty insisted, was the highhanded way he had been chosen.
