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.

Initial funding was raised by alumni to build a non-denominational religious building on campus and memorial to alumni who died while serving in the United States Armed Forces. The sculpture inside was designed by Donald DeLue. It is a popular location for weddings and other events.","The Memorial Court on the chapel roof includes the iconic Pylons etched with the names of every Virginia Tech student and graduate who died in service, starting with World War I. The four left pylons - Brotherhood, Honor, Leadership, and Sacrifice - were designed by Henry Kries and the right pylons - Service, Loyalty, Duty, and Ut Prosim - by Charles Rudy. At the center of the Court, the cenotaph has the names of the Medal of Honor recipients who attended Virginia Tech.","The carillon purchased as part of the War Memorial Chapel fund was installed in Burruss Hall in 1957.

For a brief time it was primarily an undergraduate magazine, but under the leadership of student editor Tom Carter, Shenandoah became a quarterly, publishing a cast of international writers including e e cummings, Dylan Thomas, W. H. Auden, James Merrill, Ezra Pound, William Faulkner, and Flannery O'Connor. From the 1960s to the 1980s, Washington and Lee faculty member James Boatwright expanded the journal and published occasional theme issues, including a thirty-fifth anniversary anthology. After Boatwright's death in 1988, Dabney Stuart took over as editor. In 1995, R. T. Smith was selected as the magazine's first full-time editor. In 2011, Shenandoah moved online, and is now a web magazine that publishes semiannually. In August 2018, after the retirement of R. T. Smith, Beth Staples took over as editor. Shenandoah is now part of W\u0026L's English Department and, under Beth's direction, is supported by a class of undergraduate interns studying editing and publishing.","Former editors include Tom Wolfe, Tom Carter, James Boatwright, Dabney Stuart, and R.

For a brief time it was primarily an undergraduate magazine, but under the leadership of student editor Tom Carter, Shenandoah became a quarterly, publishing a cast of international writers including e e cummings, Dylan Thomas, W. H. Auden, James Merrill, Ezra Pound, William Faulkner, and Flannery O'Connor. From the 1960s to the 1980s, Washington and Lee faculty member James Boatwright expanded the journal and published occasional theme issues, including a thirty-fifth anniversary anthology. After Boatwright's death in 1988, Dabney Stuart took over as editor. In 1995, R. T. Smith was selected as the magazine's first full-time editor. In 2011, Shenandoah moved online, and is now a web magazine that publishes semiannually. In August 2018, after the retirement of R. T. Smith, Beth Staples took over as editor. Shenandoah is now part of W\u0026L's English Department and, under Beth's direction, is supported by a class of undergraduate interns studying editing and publishing.","Former editors include Tom Wolfe, Tom Carter, James Boatwright, Dabney Stuart, and R.
