","Albert Lee Sturm Jr., son of Albert L. and Pearl Agnes Wingate Sturm, was born in Appalachia (Wise County), Virginia on August 5, 1911. After graduating from Hampden-Sydney College, he earned master's and doctoral degrees in political science from Duke University, the latter in 1942. Sturm married Virginia Frye Butts in 1941. He served as an officer in the U. S. Naval Reserve during World War II and was wounded during his service. ","Sturm served as instructor in political science at the University of Michigan (1941-1942); instructor in political science, naval history, and seasmanship at the U. S. Naval Academy (1942-1943); and associate professor and professor of political science at West Virginia University (1946-1962). During these years, Sturm also held visiting professorships at Duke University (1946 and 1961), Penn State (1949), University of Michigan (1952-1953 and 1962), University of Ankara-Turkey (1957-1959) and University of Nebraska (1968). In 1962, Sturm became director of the Institute of Governmental Research and professor of political science at Florida State University, a position that he held until being named university research professor of political science at Virginia Tech. In addition to classroom instruction, Sturm remained active in academic administration and in 1977 served as director of Virginia Tech's institutional self-study. Sturm maintained research interests in the American presidency and became an expert on the history and development of state constitutions and constitutional revision. He often consulted with individual states on constitutional revision and published several books and numerous articles on the subject. ","Albert Sturm retired from Virginia Tech in 1979, when he became professor emeritus at Virginia Tech's Center for Public Administration and Policy. He died in Loudoun County, Virginia, on March 21, 1988. ","The guide to the Albert L.
