Founded in 1899 by British teacher Camilo J. Williams Wilson, The English College began Colegio Williams' legacy. In 1906 it was renamed Instituto Williams, and in 1924 John A. Williams took the directing position, followed by Charles Ramón Williams after his death. In 1970, Arturo Camilo Williams Rivas assumed the directorship, and the San Jerónimo campus was renamed in his honor. Arturo Williams later donated a farm; the current farm on campus Ajusco bears Johny's name. Present-day, the fourth generation of the Williams family—Patricia, Arturo, and Juan Williams Muldoon—supports Mr. Arturo, preserving four generations of leadership.
