It was indeed the College of William and Mary, as this Phi Beta Kappa website states:

William and Mary was chartered in 1693, as the other answerer states, but the initial preparations for the colleges founding were actually taken Nov. 18, 1618
"The Virginia Company of London gave orders for the laying out of grounds for a university at Henrico, of which an Indian School was to be a branch, and endowed it with 10,000 acres of land. Henrico was on the north side of the James River, 12 miles below the present city of Richmond."
