Editing Visitor (section)

=== United States ===
In the United States, the office of visitor, from its early use at some colleges and other institutions, evolved specifically into that of a [[trustee]]. Certain colleges and universities, particularly of an earlier, often colonial founding, are governed by [[board of visitors|boards of visitors]], often chaired by a [[rector (academia)#United States|rector]] (rather than [[regent]]s or trustees, etc.). Examples include the [[College of William and Mary]] and the [[University of Virginia]].
