During his tenure, Burruss maintained a busy speaking schedule promoting the new school, actively recruited faculty and students, expanded administrative staff, oversaw the establishment of the Student Government Association, YWCA and other clubs and societies, and established special funds and scholarships available to eligible students. He oversaw many building projects, and created a long-range development plan for the school and grounds that would contain approximately 40 buildings and support a maximum enrollment of 1000 students. ","During Burruss' tenure, the Normal School went from an enrollment of 11 women in 1909, to a graduating class of over 300 students in 1919. During his presidency, the Normal school transitioned from offering four years of high school and two years of post-high school professional programs and teaching certificates, to offering a four-year Bachelor Science degree in Education, in addition to other programs. Burruss was a strong advocate for industrial and vocational training, and established Harrisonburg Normal School as leader in manual arts, household arts and rural arts. ","Burruss was born in Richmond, Virginia in 1876. He graduated from Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University (Virginia Tech) in 1889 with a degree in civil engineering, and did some graduate work at Columbia University.

During his tenure, Burruss maintained a busy speaking schedule promoting the new school, actively recruited faculty and students, expanded administrative staff, oversaw the establishment of the Student Government Association, YWCA and other clubs and societies, and established special funds and scholarships available to eligible students. He oversaw many building projects, and created a long-range development plan for the school and grounds that would contain approximately 40 buildings and support a maximum enrollment of 1000 students. ","During Burruss' tenure, the Normal School went from an enrollment of 11 women in 1909, to a graduating class of over 300 students in 1919. During his presidency, the Normal school transitioned from offering four years of high school and two years of post-high school professional programs and teaching certificates, to offering a four-year Bachelor Science degree in Education, in addition to other programs. Burruss was a strong advocate for industrial and vocational training, and established Harrisonburg Normal School as leader in manual arts, household arts and rural arts. ","Burruss was born in Richmond, Virginia in 1876. He graduated from Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University (Virginia Tech) in 1889 with a degree in civil engineering, and did some graduate work at Columbia University.

Bradley \u0026 Sons was established in 1856 by Philo Bradley (1829-1908) as an iron foundry specializing in manufacturing plowshares and other iron tools. The foundry was originally located on the east side of High Street, but relocated to South High Street after flooding issues at the original location. With its manufacture of iron farming implements, the foundry supported the local and state agricultural community, as well as farming communities along the eastern seaboard. Philo sold the business to his son, Schuyler (1860-1939), in 1886 for $7,500. Schuyler's brother, John S. Bradley (1857-1936), also helped to operate the foundry at this time. At some point, Schuyler's sons, Burns (1887-1966) and Bennett (1893-1962), and John's son, Richard (1900-1978), took over the business from their parents. Schuyler Bradley II (1913-1988) and Curtis Bradley, both great-grandsons of Philo Bradley, oversaw the foundry's operations beginning in the 1940s through its closure in 1962.","Over time, the foundry diversified its product line (stamped with a \"PBS\" maker's mark) to include reapers, kettles, polished wagon boxes, andirons, circular saw mills, road scrapers, municipal hardware, drain covers, and manhole lids. By the 1930s, P. Bradley \u0026 Sons began losing its market share to the more durable and mass-produced, steel plowshares. The foundry ceased operations in 1962. The five buildings that made up P. Bradley \u0026 Sons, located at 245 Old South High Street, were added to Harrisonburg's Historical District in 2017.","Five incomplete memoranda of agreement were loose inside the ledger.

There is accounting information within the ledger for patrons not listed in the index and, as such, the index should not be considered exhaustive.","Five incomplete memoranda of agreement document an arrangement with P.

Bradley \u0026 Sons was established in 1856 by Philo Bradley (1829-1908) as an iron foundry specializing in manufacturing plowshares and other iron tools. The foundry was originally located on the east side of High Street, but relocated to South High Street after flooding issues at the original location. With its manufacture of iron farming implements, the foundry supported the local and state agricultural community, as well as farming communities along the eastern seaboard. Philo sold the business to his son, Schuyler (1860-1939), in 1886 for $7,500. Schuyler's brother, John S. Bradley (1857-1936), also helped to operate the foundry at this time. At some point, Schuyler's sons, Burns (1887-1966) and Bennett (1893-1962), and John's son, Richard (1900-1978), took over the business from their parents. Schuyler Bradley II (1913-1988) and Curtis Bradley, both great-grandsons of Philo Bradley, oversaw the foundry's operations beginning in the 1940s through its closure in 1962.","Over time, the foundry diversified its product line (stamped with a \"PBS\" maker's mark) to include reapers, kettles, polished wagon boxes, andirons, circular saw mills, road scrapers, municipal hardware, drain covers, and manhole lids. By the 1930s, P. Bradley \u0026 Sons began losing its market share to the more durable and mass-produced, steel plowshares. The foundry ceased operations in 1962. The five buildings that made up P.
