He was the first alumnus-President, having graduated with honors in civil engineering from VPI in 1898. A hallmark of his long tenure in the presidency was a major administrative reorganization, which included: abolishing four deanships; broadening the scope and authority of the Deans of Agriculture and Engineering; establishing post of Dean of the College; abolishing College surgeon office and hiring full-time health officer; establishing office of business manager; placing directors of Agriculture Experiment Station and Extension Services under Dean of Agriculture; abolishing Registrar office; and placing athletic activities directly under control of college authorities.","Other highlights of Burruss' administration included: establishment of Engineering Experiment Station, 1921, and Engineering Extension Division, 1923; admittance of women to all departments, except military, 1921; founding of Future Farmers of Virginia, which became Future Farmers of America; first Ph.D. awarded; Radford State Teachers College merged with VPI and became Radford College, the Women's Division of VPI.","When mounting pressures and advancing age began to take a toll on Burruss, the Board of Visitors granted him a six-month leave of absence on 4 January 1945, and named John Hutcheson, Director of the Agriculture Extension Service, as Executive Assistant to the President. On 10 January 1945, Burruss suffered a fractured vertebrae in an automobile accident, so on 12 January, the Rector of the Board requested that Hutcheson assume the duties of the presidency immediately. At the Board meeting on 15 May, Burruss was elected \"President Emeritus\" and the search for a new president began. Burruss died two years later.","The guide to the Records of the Office of the President, Julian A.

During his administration, which began 2 July 1962, VPI became known as \"Virginia's Land-Grant University.\" There was a shift from traditional technically-oriented education to a more comprehensive University-oriented education, with programs being expanded through the doctoral level in many non-science areas. The culmination of this shift and expansion in mission came in 1970 when the Legislature approved a name change reflective of VPI's growth: Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University.","Major events of the Hahn administration included abolishment of the VPI-Radford merger, causing a large increase in the number of women students at Tech, and a decision by the Board of Visitors to make participation in the military program optional, which resulted in a decline in Corps of Cadets membership but an increase in male Virginians choosing to attend the University. There were also numerous organizational and academic changes and improvements, including the establishment of a University-wide Research Division and a University-wide Extension Division, both in 1966. Also the physical plant continued to expand during this administration.","Some of the later years of the Hahn administration were marked by student demonstrations and protests, like those which occurred at many university campuses in the late 1960s and early 1970s.","After twelve years in office, Hahn sent a letter to faculty and staff in August 1974 indicating his decision to resign as president, stating that \"it is not in the best interest of a university for one person to serve as president for too long a time.\" In November, William Lavery was named to succeed Hahn, beginning in January 1975.","The guide to the Records of the Office of the President, T.

The collection also includes copies of many of Hahn's speeches (1961-1973), such as \"Statement on Need of a College of Veterinary Medicine in Virginia\" and \"Virginia in the Jet Age.\"","The collection also contains Hahn's files of the Metropolitan Study Commission that he chaired from 1966 to 1968, including correspondence, minutes, and reports. This commission was created by the 1966 Virginia General Assembly to \"make a comprehensive study of metropolitan governmental problems and to undertake to develop solutions to such problems.\"","There is also material on the Virginia Associated Research Center (VARC), including correspondence, reports, and Governing Committee minutes (1963-1967). VARC was an off-campus graduate facility sponsored by Virginia Tech, the College of William and Mary, and the University of Virginia, in cooperation with the Langley Research Center of NASA. It specialized in applied aerospace research and other basic research in related areas.","The University Archives also contains the records of Hahn's inauguration, including correspondence, programs, invitations, some minutes and other documents of the Inauguration Committee and its subcommittees on Local Arrangements, Reception, and Invitations and Programs. There is a notebook (see Box 98, folder 3277b) containing various articles and clippings on college budgets and campus unrest throughout the United States, plus a handwritten copy of a speech entitled \"The Role of the Academic Community in Campus Unrest\" (Box 101, folder 3319), and a typed paper entitled \"Legislation and Appropriations in Other States Relating to Higher Education\" that includes handwritten additions.

Diaries contains the following items: diaries dated 1847-1907, transcripts of diaries, and loose pages that did not belong in the diaries. This series is arranged by material type. \nII. Images contains photographs and a newspaper clipping. The photographs are of Rosanna and William Dawson, their children and grandchildren, unidentified family members, the Dawson House, and a picture and newspaper clipping of when the Liberty Bell came to Roanoke, VA. This series is arranged by subject. \nIII. Papers and Artifacts contains two sub-series: Family Papers/Genealogy and Ephemera. Family Papers/Genealogy contains primary sources for research, genealogy research, original correspondence, receipts and deeds, a description of William Dawson's chair, and a Roanoke Times article about the collection. Ephemera contains publications, including \"The Maid of the Mountains\", \"The Secret of a Happy Day\", \"Methodism in Blacksburg\", other local history information, and a Washington, D.C. ashtray.

Dawson (November 23, 1811-March 27, 1878) between December 30, 1839 and January 2, 1840. William H. Dawson was a teacher. Together they raised nine children in a home located at the intersection of East Roanoke and Wharton Streets. The nine children were Robert M., William Thomas, Melissa Jane, Wesley McDonald, Martha V., Sarah E., Mary M., Maggie R., and Ellen Pauline. William H. Dawson taught mathematics, French, and Latin at the Olin and Preston Institute after it opened in 1851. William was the head of the school until it closed when the Civil War began.","Rosanna's youngest daughter, Ellen, started a dressmaking business out of the house. Following William H. Dawson's death in 1878, Rosanna joined her daughter in the business.

As a child, she lived with her parents in western Pennsylvania until the death of her father and the family's impoverishment led the young Newport and her mother to move to western Virginia. The two women eventually became servants in the home of William Royall, in what is today Mineral County, West Virginia. In November, 1797, Anne Newport and William Royall were married. During the years of her marriage, Anne Royall educated herself and became well read.","William Royall died in 1812. A will, leaving nearly his entire estate to the use of his wife during her widowhood, was contested by relatives. The court originally upheld the will in 1817, but on appeal, a jury annulled the will in 1819.","From 1817 to 1825, Anne Royall toured Alabama and other places in the South and wrote of her travels. After spending some time in Washington, D. C., petitioning for a widow's pension for her late husband's Revolutionary War service, she continued traveling in New England and other northern states for several years, continuing to make notes and take subscriptions for books. She would eventually publish ten books about her travels. Her one novel, The Tennessean was published in 1827. Royall's unsentimental style, her willingness to expose corruption, and her controversial views on issues of the day earned her some powerful enemies. She was convicted in Washington, D. C. on the charge of being a \"public nuisance, a common brawler and a common scold\" and fined $10 in 1829. Royall published two Washington newspapers, Paul Pry (1831-1836) and The Huntress (1836-1854), both devoted to exposing fraud and corruption. She has been called the first professional woman journalist in the United States.","Anne Royall died on October 1, 1854, and was buried in Congressional Cemetery, Washington, D. C.","The guide to the Royall Family Papers by Special Collections and University Archives, Virginia Tech, is licensed under a CC0 (https://creativecommons.org/share-your-work/public-domain/cc0/).","The processing and description of the Royall Family Papers commenced and was completed in April, 2021.","This collection contains three legal documents relating to the estate of William Royall, a resident of what is now Monroe County, West Virginia. The first of these documents is an 1813 bond signed by Anne Royall as executrix of her late husband's estate, binding her to complete an inventory and appraisal of the estate. The bond is also signed by John Handley, Tomson Caperton, John Daugherty, and Valentine Miller. A note appended by the Monroe County clerk states that no inventory appeared to have ever been filed. Also included is a copy of the 1817 verdict reached by a jury called to determine the legitimacy of William Royall's will.  The collection also contains what appears to be an 1817 bond signed by Anne Royall and Newton Gardner regarding the seizure of an enslaved woman named Lucinda to satisfy a court ruling against Royall.","The copyright status of this collection is unknown.
