He graduated from Maury High School, and later received his Bachelor's degree in Chemistry from Princeton and his M.D. from John's Hopkins University. He specialized in obstetrics and gynecology and completed his residency training at Johns Hopkins as well. Andrews then began a successful OB/GYN private practice in Norfolk in 1950. Additionally, Dr. Andrews taught Obstetrics and Gynecology at Johns Hopkins University and later at Eastern Virginia Medical School.","Andrews' community service began during the 1950's with service on the Norfolk Chamber of Commerce and the Health Welfare and Recreation Planning Council. While serving as president of the Norfolk County Medical Society, Andrews appointed a bipartisan committee to study the need for a medical school in the area. The study was able to convince the Virginia General Assembly of the need for a new medical school. In 1964 the Eastern Virginia Medical Center authority was formed with the charge of developing the new medical school. Andrews served as the chairman of the authority from 1964-1970. Under his leadership a medical center complex was built in an area that has once been slums. The medical complex now consists of Eastern Virginia Medical School (EVMS), Norfolk General Hospital, Medical Tower, Public Health Department, Children's Hospital of the King's Daughters and Tidewater Rehabilitation Institute. In addition, as chairman of the Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology at EVMS Andrews was instrumental in bringing the team of Drs. Howard and Georgeanna Jones to Norfolk. The Drs. Jones specialized in treating infertility problems. In 1981 they brought notoriety to Norfolk with the role they played in the first successful birth, in the United States, of a baby conceived by in-vitro fertilization. With the success of the in-vitro fertilization program the Jones Institute for Reproductive Medicine was founded in 1983.","Andrews also served on the Norfolk City Council from 1974 to 2000 and as the city's mayor from 1992 to 1994. During his tenure on the council he was instrumental in the redevelopment of the downtown waterfront. Andrews introduced the developer of Baltimore's Inner Harbor, James Rouse, to Norfolk. Rouse designed the Waterside Festival Marketplace for the Norfolk waterfront. Other downtown projects promoted by Andrews included Nauticus, the Norfolk campus of Tidewater Community College, and the MacArthur Center Mall. Mason Andrews declined to run for re-election to city council in 2000.","Andrews passed away on October 13, 2006.","Note written by Janice Halecki","The collection includes correspondence, photographs, medical articles, newspaper clippings, architectural drawings, reports, and other material maintained by Mason C. Andrews, an OB/GYN doctor and Norfolk City Council member. The bulk of the material relates to the development of the Norfolk Medical Center and the Eastern Virginia Medical School, as well as Andrews' tenure on the Norfolk City Council from 1974 to 1997.","Before publishing quotations or excerpts from any materials, permission must be obtained from Special Collections and University Archives, and the holder of the copyright, if not Old Dominion University Libraries.","Physician, former city council member and mayor of Norfolk.

Her family relocated to California when Rupp was ten years old (1953).  Rupp had been fascinated with the built environment since her early childhood growing up in post-war reconstruction Germany.  However, when she entered University of California-Berkeley, in 1960, she had won many small scholarships to study physics.  Her physics career lasted two semesters after which she was able to convince everyone that she should study her first love, architecture (Boulgarides).","While at Berkeley Rupp was mentored by three renowned architects and professors, Joseph Esherick, AIA, Harold Stump, and Donald Reay. Upon graduation in 1966 with a Bachelor of Architecture, Rupp worked for Van Bourg/Nakamura Associates of San Francisco, D'Amico Associates of Mill Valley, Hawley \u0026 Peterson of Mountain Valley and Spencer Associates of Palo Alto.  During this time she received her architecture license in the State of California (1971).","In 1976, Rupp stating that architecture was in the \"doldrums\" and recognizing that there was no future for her in the 'major firm' where she was currently employed decided to open her own firm exclaiming, \"I could do nothing on my own as well as for someone else\"(Boulgarides).  She served as president and principle architect for SLR/Architects from 1976 until 1998 when she closed the office.  ","SLR/Architects specialized in technical facilities, industrial work, and residential structures.  The company provided architectural services for many of the pre-eminent Silicon Valley firms: Apple Computer, Sun Microsystems, Tandem, Amdahl, Claris, Raychem, and IBM.  Other prominent clients included: AT\u0026T, Pac Bell, United Airlines, Pan Am, Stanford University and Hospital and San Jose State University.  Some of her significant projects were the Press Building and Storey House at Stanford University, an RF Testing Facility for Apple Computer (winner of an AIA Honor Award), and a six-year factory retrofit and rehab for the Raychem Corporation.  At its height SLR/Architects employed eight professional and paraprofessional staff (1987) and established an international branch SLR/International in Tel Aviv, Israel (1983). ","Rupp was active in many professional and local civic organizations.  She was a former board member and chairperson of the City of Palo Alto Architectural Review Board, former director of the Santa Clara Valley Chapter of the American Institute of Architects and former president of California Women in Environmental Design (CWED).  She also served on the boards of the New Performance Gallery in San Francisco, Theater Artaud of San Francisco, Family Planning Alternatives of Sunnyvale, Diablo Ballet of Walnut Creek and the Lawrence Pech Dance Company of San Francisco.  She was an active member of the Organization of Women Architects (OWA), the American Institute of Architects (AIA), the Construction Specifications Institute (CSI) and the Union Internationale des Femmes Architectes (UIFA). ","An ardent champion for women's rights, Rupp stated that she became involved in women's issues \"…simply because I did not want there to be any [women's issues]. It seemed that the time for gender differences should be long over.\"  She was a mentor to many women and minorities in the course of her practice encouraging and facilitating their entry into architecture.  ","In retirement, Rupp turned her attention to painting and traveling.  Her watercolors primarily focused on California bay area landscapes and were featured in several local juried shows.  She also traveled extensively documenting her experiences in beautifully illustrated and annotated travel diaries (present in the collection).  ","Sigrid Lorenzen Rupp passed away May 27, 2004.

She served as president and principle architect for SLR/Architects from 1976 until 1998 when she closed the office.  ","SLR/Architects specialized in technical facilities, industrial work, and residential structures.  The company provided architectural services for many of the pre-eminent Silicon Valley firms: Apple Computer, Sun Microsystems, Tandem, Amdahl, Claris, Raychem, and IBM.  Other prominent clients included: AT\u0026T, Pac Bell, United Airlines, Pan Am, Stanford University and Hospital and San Jose State University.  Some of her significant projects were the Press Building and Storey House at Stanford University, an RF Testing Facility for Apple Computer (winner of an AIA Honor Award), and a six-year factory retrofit and rehab for the Raychem Corporation.  At its height SLR/Architects employed eight professional and paraprofessional staff (1987) and established an international branch SLR/International in Tel Aviv, Israel (1983). ","Rupp was active in many professional and local civic organizations.  She was a former board member and chairperson of the City of Palo Alto Architectural Review Board, former director of the Santa Clara Valley Chapter of the American Institute of Architects and former president of California Women in Environmental Design (CWED).  She also served on the boards of the New Performance Gallery in San Francisco, Theater Artaud of San Francisco, Family Planning Alternatives of Sunnyvale, Diablo Ballet of Walnut Creek and the Lawrence Pech Dance Company of San Francisco.  She was an active member of the Organization of Women Architects (OWA), the American Institute of Architects (AIA), the Construction Specifications Institute (CSI) and the Union Internationale des Femmes Architectes (UIFA). ","An ardent champion for women's rights, Rupp stated that she became involved in women's issues \"…simply because I did not want there to be any [women's issues]. It seemed that the time for gender differences should be long over.\"  She was a mentor to many women and minorities in the course of her practice encouraging and facilitating their entry into architecture.  ","In retirement, Rupp turned her attention to painting and traveling.  Her watercolors primarily focused on California bay area landscapes and were featured in several local juried shows.  She also traveled extensively documenting her experiences in beautifully illustrated and annotated travel diaries (present in the collection).  ","Sigrid Lorenzen Rupp passed away May 27, 2004. Her legacy in her own words, \"I'd like to be remembered for dissenting when everyone else thought it easier to go with the grain even when the grain was wrong. I'd like to be remembered for being a competent architect who did competent work, a competent painter who did competent painting and someone who told good stories\" (OWA).","~~~~~~~~~~~","References:","\"Dr. James D.

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.
