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.

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.

Personal Papers, 1917-2003: Included in this series are materials that document the lives and careers of Alfred and Virle Payne. The series is divided into two subseries: Subseries A contains papers relating to Alfred Payne and includes such materials as biographical sketches, certificates and tributes; general personal correspondence; press clippings; and photographs. Apart from the biographical sketches, filed at the beginning of the subseries, and the correspondence and photographs gathered at the end, the subseries is arranged alphabetically. Subseries B relates to Virle Payne's early life, focusing largely on her academic activities from high school through Winthrop College and postgraduate work at the University of Tennessee, as well as her brief employment at Anderson College and her involvement with Baptist Student Union. The subseries, arranged alphabetically, contains correspondence, reports, programs, and ephemera. ","Series II. Public Addresses, 1946-2003: Materials in this series relate to Payne's many spiritual orations, including benedictions, blessings and graces, invocations, and general prayers delivered at athletic events, memorial services, building dedications, and many other public events; as well as general public remarks. Many of the files include the texts and/or drafts of Payne's orations. Many also include background notes and information about the people or organizations for which the address was delivered and programs for the events at which they were delivered. Some of the files document specific events at which Payne spoke, other files are broader, grouping similar events together under a broad heading (e.g., \"Basketball Games\"). The series is generally arranged alphabetically, but unidentified addresses are gathered under general headings at the end of the series. ","Series III. Writings, 1945-2003: This series includes working papers (notes, drafts, correspondence) relating to Payne's two books,  A University at Prayer  and  A Community at Prayer , as well as additional projects that never reached publication. Also included are a collection of typescript drafts of pieces that were later published and papers intended for distribution but not publication. The series concludes with a large collection of book reviews--both typescript drafts and published pieces--written by Payne.","Series IV. Subject Files, 1929-2003: Arranged alphabetically, this series documents many subjects in which Payne had a personal interest, including individuals and organizations with which he had a personal connection; or that he gathered as supporting materials when composing his own works. The series is arranged alphabetically by topic.  Content Warning: This collection contains materials gathered by Payne during his World War II military service that users may find distressing or offensive, including symbols and propaganda associated with the Nazi regime and images of atrocities committed during the war.

After graduating from Cartersville High School, he obatined a BS in general science at Clemson University in 1938. ","Following graduation, Payne accepted a position as assistant secretary of the YMCA at Texas A. \u0026 M. University. In 1941, he married Virginia Virle Crow (1917-2014); the couple would have two daughters. ","During World War II, Payne served as a captain of infantry in the European Theatre of Operations and participated in the liberation of Paris, earning five battle stars and the Bronze Star with oak leaf cluster.","Following his military service, Payne attended Yale University Divinity School, receiving a bachelor's of divinity in religion and higher education in 1946. That same year, he was named associate secretary of the YMCA at Virginia Polytechnic Institute (Virginia Tech) and was ordained at Blacksburg Baptist Church the following year. ","In 1949, Payne accepted a position with the YMCA at the University of Pittsburgh, and from 1951 to 1953, he took postgraduate courses in philosophy at the university. Payne returned to Virginia Tech in 1958, succeeding Paul Derring as secretary of the YMCA. He was appointed assistant to the dean of students in 1964 and later as counselor for relgious affairs. Among his duties during this time, Payne was responsible for supervision of the Memorial Chapel, coordination of campus religious programs, and serving as a liaison with off-campus churches and clergy. ","A popular public speaker, Payne was frequently called upon for invocations, benedictions and blessings, as well as remarks at campus and local events. He formally retired from the university in 1981 but continued to be very active on campus and in various community and civic organizations. In 1987, he published a collection of his campus prayers in  A University at Prayer , followed by  A Community at Prayer  in 1993. He also wrote a number of essays for various publications and hundreds of published book reviews. In 1993, Virginia Tech recognized his service by naming Payne Hall in his honor. ","Alfred C. Payne died in Blacksburg in 2003. ","Virginia Virle Crow, daughter of Edward E. Crow and Emmie Johnson, was born in Fairforest, South Carolina, on April 2, 1917. Best known by her middle name, Crow graduated from Fairforest High School. She earned a BS degree at Winthrop College in 1938, and took graduate courses at the University of Tennessee in 1939. Later that year, she joined the faculty of Anderson College (Anderson, South Carolina) as director of the home economics department. Evidence in this collection suggests that Cook continued to work at Anderson through 1941, the year she married Alfred C. Payne. The couple would have two children. ","In 1960, Virle Payne accepted a position at Virginia Tech as an instructor in clothing, textiles and related art, and she earned an MS at Virginia Tech in 1962. She continued to work at Virginia Tech until 1967, when she joined the faculty at Radford College (now Radford University), where she served as assistant director of home economics and directed the preschool before retiring in the 1980s.

Apart from the biographical sketches, filed at the beginning of the subseries, and the correspondence and photographs gathered at the end, the subseries is arranged alphabetically. Subseries B relates to Virle Payne's early life, focusing largely on her academic activities from high school through Winthrop College and postgraduate work at the University of Tennessee, as well as her brief employment at Anderson College and her involvement with Baptist Student Union. The subseries, arranged alphabetically, contains correspondence, reports, programs, and ephemera. ","Series II. Public Addresses, 1946-2003: Materials in this series relate to Payne's many spiritual orations, including benedictions, blessings and graces, invocations, and general prayers delivered at athletic events, memorial services, building dedications, and many other public events; as well as general public remarks. Many of the files include the texts and/or drafts of Payne's orations. Many also include background notes and information about the people or organizations for which the address was delivered and programs for the events at which they were delivered. Some of the files document specific events at which Payne spoke, other files are broader, grouping similar events together under a broad heading (e.g., \"Basketball Games\"). The series is generally arranged alphabetically, but unidentified addresses are gathered under general headings at the end of the series. ","Series III.

Known as the father of wireless communications, Gross invented the walkie-talkie in 1938 at age 20 and by 1941 the Office of Strategic Services (now known as the CIA) was eager to develop a lightweight, portable communications system for air-to-ground contact. The OSS recruited Gross and he devised the \"Joan-Eleanor System\" using Hertzian radio waves which were virtually impossible to intercept even from behind emeny lines. Gross' invention was a huge success and was praised by the US Joint Chiefs of Staff as being one of the most successful wireless intelligence gathering methods ever employed.","After the war, Gross formed the Citizens Radio Corporation and sold his units to the public, mostly to farmers and the US Coast Guard. In 1949 Gross had another breakthrough invention, the telephone pager. That same year Gross attended a medical conference in Philadelphia to introduce the pager system to doctors. Unfortunately, many of the doctors were apprehensive of the device stating it would interfere with their leisure time or upset their patients. The pager never caught on for Gross, proving he was decades ahead of his time.","Gross continued to invent for his entire lifespan, compiling 12 patents. But Gross' patents expired long before the world was ready for pagers, cell phones, and CB radio. Instead of reaping the monetary benefits of his inventions, Gross is rich in awards and recognitions. Most recently, Gross became the sixth person to be awarded the Lemelson-MIT Lifetime Achievement Award in 2000. Eight months later on December 28, 2000, Gross died at his Arizona home.","The guide to the Gross, Al Papers by Special Collections and University Archives, Virginia Tech, is licensed under a CC0 ( https://creativecommons.org/share-your-work/public-domain/cc0/ ).","The Al Gross papers are comprised of the following series: Employment, Publications, Inventions and Patents, Awards and Achievements, Personal Material, Technical Data, Radio Material, Government, Subject Files, and Oversize Materials.

With his contributions in the wireless field, Al Gross became well known worldwide in the wireless front and companies such as True Temper and GTE Sylvania hired Gross not only for his engineering skill but for public relations as well. One example is Gross appearing on the popular television show \"To Tell the Truth\" while he worked for True Temper. Photographs of Gross on \"To Tell the Truth\" are located in the Personal Material series (1918-2000, n.d.) which also includes material spanning from Gross' Junior High School to notes on retirement. Also included are correspondence letters, resumes, and personal certificates.","The Publications series (1945-2000, n.d.) contains a comprehensive list of articles written about Gross and his work as well as articles written by Gross himself. Other publications used primarily for reference are found in the Technical Data series (1943-99, n.d.). Highlighting the series are technical diagrams, charts, and manuals. More information on the work of Al Gross can be found in the Inventions and Patents series (1909-2000, n.d.). Included in the series is a comprehensive photo collection and early drawings of inventions such as the Antenna, Citizens Transceiver, and the wrist-watch walkie-talkie. Complementing the material are photocopied patents with descriptions.","The Government series (1937-90, n.d.) includes materials from the Office of Strategic Services (OSS), which recruited Gross and his walkie-talkies in World War II. Also included are five folders from the Federal Communications Committee (FCC) which gave Gross the rights to the first \"Citizens Radio Service\" after World War II. The FCC also served as the distributor of radio licenses. Original and photocopied licenses of Gross can be found in the Radio Material series (1934-86, n.d.) which also includes material from his amateur radio station W8PAL such as a station log and data book.","Complementing his lifetime of work in the wireless field is a vast collection of recognitions found in the Awards, Achievements series (1959-2000, n.d.). The series includes eighteen different awards and recognitions Al Gross received including awards from the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE) of which he was a Fellow member. Other awards of Gross are found in boxes 16, 17, and 21. More information on the IEEE can be found in the Subject Files series (1947-96, n.d.) which includes theses, stock certificates, and material highlighting Gross' visit to Virginia Tech.","The Oversize Materials series consists of items such as his awards, blueprints, and original documents which were pulled from the other series as they were too large for inclusion with other items in the series. Key items highlighting the inventor's career are on permanent exhibit in Torgerson Hall.","The copyright status of this collection is unknown. Copyright restrictions may apply.
