He graduated\n         from Fisk in 1898 with the A. B. degree. After graduating he\n         re-enrolled as a non-resident student and in 1901 was award\n         the M. A..

He also took non-resident graduate\n         courses at Illinois Wesleyin during the summers between the\n         years 1903 and 1913","His teaching career began in Stone County Mississippi and\n         he also taught briefly in Hanson Oklahoma. While a student at\n         Fisk he taught at various schools in Tennessee and Kentucky.\n         In 1898 he was appointed professor of Greek and Latin at\n         Virginia Normal and Collegiate Institute, now Virginia State\n         University. When the college program was terminated in 1902 by\n         the State he continued as professor of education until he was\n         appointed president of the University in 1914.","After arriving at Virginia State John Gandy met and married\n         Carrie Senora Brown in 1901. Four children were born out of\n         this union.","In 1914 John Gandy became the third president of what is\n         now Virginia State University. As president he oversaw the\n         schools development which included becoming the \"Land Grant\n         College\" for blacks in Virginia in 1920, the return of the\n         college department in 1923 and the name changed from V. N.\n         \u0026 I. I. to Virginia State college for Negroes in 1930 and\n         the establishment of the graduate school in 1937.","While president of the University, he also served as :\n         President of the Association of Negro Land Grant College,\n         President of the Virginia State Teachers Association, and\n         President of the National Association of Teachers in Colored\n         Schools. He was also a member of several boards and a member\n         of the Board of Trustees of Virginia Union University in\n         Richmond, Virginia.","He served as President of Virginia State University until\n         he retired in 1943 and as President Emeritus until his death\n         in 1947."],"prefercite_html_tesm":["\u003cp\u003eThe John Manuel Gandy Papers, Accession # 1967-2,\n            Johnston Memorial Library, Virginia State University.\u003c/p\u003e\n      "],"prefercite_tesim":["The John Manuel Gandy Papers, Accession # 1967-2,\n            Johnston Memorial Library, Virginia State University."],"scopecontent_html_tesm":["\u003cp\u003eThe Gandy Papers which are found in this manuscript group\n         do not begin to reflect the rich and varied life of the man\n         who was President of Virginia State University for twenty-nine\n         years.
