The collection was processed and finding aid created by Joanna Ruedisueli.
Additional accessions made in November 1977 and 1979.
Calder Smith Sherwood, III was born on November 1, 1911 in Portsmouth, Virginia, to Calder Smith Sherwood, Jr. and Lessie Wallace Sherwood. He was commonly known throughout his life as C.S. The Sherwood family owned a successful jewelry business and lived in the area throughout C.S.'s adolescence.
Sherwood graduated from Portsmouth's Woodrow Wilson High School in 1929. Afterwards he attended the College of William and Mary in Williamsburg, Virginia, where he earned his bachelor's degree in Chemistry in 1933. He spent 1934 working as lab assistant at the college before pursuing his master's degree in Inorganic Chemistry at the University of Chicago, which he obtained in June of 1937. He then returned to Virginia, this time to the Norfolk Division of the College of William and Mary, as an assistant professor. After one year, Sherwood returned to Chicago to pursue his doctorate, but then decided to return to Norfolk to assume a full time teaching position at William and Mary in 1939.
Sherwood taught freshman Chemistry courses along with a variety of other courses during his teaching career, and he introduced geology and astronomy courses into the curriculum. In 1942 Sherwood left to teach chemistry and sailing courses at the United States Naval Academy in Baltimore, Maryland, as a Lieutenant of the United States Navy Reserves. Four years later, after a promotion to Lieutenant Commander in 1945, he returned to Norfolk. Sherwood remained in the Navy Reserves until 1953.
Upon his return to the Norfolk Division of William and Mary in 1946, Sherwood was made the Chairman of the Chemistry Department. During this time, he also occupied the chair for the division of Natural Sciences from 1950 to 1954. When Sherwood resigned the Chair of Chemistry in 1969, he assumed a position in Student Academic Advising as well as a part time position teaching Astronomy. In 1971 he served as Chairman of the Department of Geophysical Sciences until his retirement in May 1977.
While teaching at William and Mary, Sherwood was involved in many campus councils and departmental groups. He was part of the Honors Council in 1941 and aided in editing revisions to the Honor Code. He helped design the new science building in 1950 and organize the building of the Pretlow Planetarium in 1965. In 1968, Sherwood also taught summer courses and helped with summer orientation for new students.
Off campus, Sherwood was a member of many community organizations and clubs such as the Portsmouth Torch Club, the Seaboard Lodge, and the American Camping Association. He was an Eagle Scout sponsor in the Boy Scouts of America and possessed a great love of camping. This led to a lifelong connection with Camp Sequoyah in Ashville, North Carolina as a camper, a counselor, and a visitor. He was on the Board of Deacons for the Court Street Baptist Church of Portsmouth and was a part of the Baptist Student Union in the 1930's. In line with his profession, he served as the chairman of the local committee for the Virginia Academy of Science conferences in Norfolk. He advised various local high school science programs and helped open a planetarium at the Portsmouth Manor High School in 1970. Sherwood established a trust that now funds the C. S. Sherwood Portsmouth Community Trust Scholarship and the C.S. Sherwood III Endowed Scholarship, for Geology or Chemistry majors at Old Dominion University.
He was a Professor Emeritus until his death on August 9, 1977.
