This was in compliance with the Virginia Public Records Act, the Virginia Tech's University Records Retention Schedule, and the Library of Virginia's Records Retention and Disposition Schedule for All State Agencies under General Schedule No. GS-103 (Personnel Records), Series No. 012185 (Recruitment, Hiring, Interview, and Selection Records).","The collection is arranged chronologically and by subject. For the most part, the original order is retained.","William E. Lavery became the university's president on January 1, 1975. Complementing the years of explosive growth under his predecessor, President Hahn, his presidency not only brought stability to the university but expanded its growth into different areas. Lavery placed a high priority on alleviating shortages of classroom, laboratory, and office space – increasing the total inventory of available space by 50.1 percent. The president also emphasized research, moving Tech into the nation's top fifty research universities by the fiscal year of 1987. Lavery also enhanced opportunities for research by establishing the Corporate Research Center – receiving an antenna to link Tech to the world via satellite – and the Extension division developed a series of twenty-six downlink sites throughout the State. After a controversial land swap and negative publicity on the university's Athletic Association, Lavery resigned in 1987.","Born in Geneseo, N.Y. on November 20, 1930, to the late John R. and Mary Irene O'Bryan, William Edward Lavery earned his bachelor's degree from Michigan State University, his master's in public administration from George Washington University, and his doctorate in extension administration from the University of Wisconsin. ","He began his professional career as a teacher and coach at Clarence Central High School in Clarence, N.Y., before serving two years in the United States Army. He was a veteran of the Korean Conflict. He married the former Peggy Johnson of Pawnee City, Neb., in 1956, and the couple had four children, Debra, Lori, Mary Beth, and K. Michael.  He began working for the federal Extension Service's Division of Management Operations in 1956, where he remained until 1966.","Succeeding President Hahn, William E. Lavery became the university's president on January 1, 1975. Lavery had been executive vice president since 1973, preceded by five years as vice president for finance and two years as director of administration for the Extension division. He first came to the university in 1966. \nComplementing the years of explosive growth under his predecessor, his presidency not only brought stability to the university but also expanded its growth into different areas. Lavery placed a high priority on alleviating shortages of classroom, laboratory, and office space – increasing the total inventory of available space by 50.1 percent. The new \"infill\" concept for constructing buildings and additions would subsequently win an award from the American Planning Association. A $108-million construction program included additions to Newman Library and the War Memorial Gymnasium, construction of Johnston Student Center, and a $17.5 million complex to house the Virginia-Maryland Regional College of Veterinary Medicine, opening to students in 1980. ","The president also emphasized research, and expenditures in support of research totaled over $70.2 million by the fiscal year of 1987, moving Virginia Tech into the nation's top fifty research universities. He enhanced research opportunities by establishing the Corporate Research Center. The center received an antenna to link Virginia Tech to the world via satellite, and the Extension division developed a series of twenty-six downlink sites throughout the state. Installation began on a new communication system for the campus, the university purchased a supercomputer, and the first proposal was developed for what later became the Blacksburg Electronic Village. Additionally, Virginia Tech played a vital role in developing the concept for Virginia's Center for Innovative Technology.","Under his watch, the university introduced a core curriculum and added degree programs. The number of minority scholarships and fellowships grew, and students applied in record numbers. Faculty salaries moved from the bottom third to the top fourth among research universities. The university opened the Cranwell International Center. Lavery hired the university's first vice president for development, Charles Forbes, who launched a campaign to raise $50 million and then raised more than $108 million. \nLavery also hired the university's first woman vice president, Sandra Sullivan, vice president for student affairs. ","In other developments, President Ronald Reagan appointed Lavery chair of the USAID Board for International Food and Agricultural Development, and the U. S. Secretary of the Treasury appointed him to the National Savings Bond Committee, where he chaired the Higher Education Industry Campaign. He also served on the first NCAA Presidential Commission. In 1985, Xavier University in the Philippines presented him with an honorary doctorate. During his presidency, the National Conference of Christians and Jews presented him with the Brotherhood Award and the governor of Virginia appointed him to serve on the Commission on Virginia's Transportation in the 21st Century. ","A controversial land swap in 1986 – in which Virginia Tech traded 247 acres of land for 1,700 acres needed for agricultural research – along with highly publicized problems with the basketball program posed challenges to Lavery's presidency. Despite the fact he developed a reorganization plan for the Athletic Association, negative publicity continued. On October 16, 1987 Lavery announced his resignation, effective December 31, 1987. He continued to serve the university, first as honorary chancellor, then, after October 1, 1988, as the William B. Preston Professor of International Affairs, and, after his retirement on August 1, 1991, as president emeritus.","The university recognized his contributions by honoring him with the Ruffner Medal in 1993 and by dedicating the William E. Lavery Animal Health Research Center in his honor in 1995. Additionally, the Class of 1997 named its class ring in his honor. He died on February 16, 2009.","Source: Buchanan, Todd, Lawrence G.

The clubhouse, formerly located on Otey Street, was built on land leased from the university. In June 1929, construction began on the clubhouse. Soon the club gained 125 members and has continued to grow throughout the years. It was completed in 1930 at a cost of $38,000. It contains 8,773 square feet. It once contained a dining room, which ceased operations in 1935 when the old Faculty Center dining room opened. On December 2, 1953 at the annual meeting members burned the last of the bonds representing the indebtedness of $40,000 incurred in building the clubhouse on campus. The building was valued at $70,000 in 1953. The Virginia Tech Foundation purchased the clubhouse in December 2017, and it was demolished the following year. ","Since the founding, the membership has included Nobel Prize winners, University Presidents, corporate and civic leaders, and distinguished artists and professors.

After the Smith-Lever Act of 1914 was passed, overall administration of extension, or demonstration, work was transferred to Virginia Polytechnic Institute (VPI), with Hampton Institute (later Hampton University) as a division initially serving Black communities. At that time, it became the Agricultural Extension Service, also called the Cooperative Extension Service. In 1930, Virginia State College (later Virginia State University (VSU)) took over the extension responsibilities of Hampton Institute.","In 1966, the Virginia General Assembly established the VPI Extension Division, which combined the Cooperative Extension Service, General Extension Division, State Technical Services, and Continuing Education Center. After passage of the 1977 U. S. Farm Bill, VSU's extension program became an equal partner to VT's program, rather than a division reporting to VT. In 1995, the Division became the Virginia Cooperative Extension and Agricultural Experiment Station Division, often shortened to the Virginia Cooperative Extension (VCE), still operated jointly by VT and VSU today.\"","The guide to the Records of the Virginia Cooperative Extension by Special Collections and University Archives, Virginia Tech, is licensed under a CC0 ( https://creativecommons.org/share-your- work/public-domain/cc0/ ).","Audiovisual materials require special equipment to access.
