The Bishop James Madison Society is a student secret society at William & Mary. The society was established in 1812 as a tribute to the late College of William & Mary President Bishop James Madison. Part of the society's mission is the promotion of a "Last Lecture" series in which they invite a faculty member to speak on current social or academic issues. The lectures take place in the chapel of the Wren Building during the last week of classes each semester.
