This strange twist of\n         fate makes Robert P. Daniel the only President of a\n         state-supported institution who was born on the campus, which\n         he would later serve as chief administrator.","The historical background, which explains, this unusual\n         occurrence lay in the origins of the Daniel Family. The roots\n         of this family began in Louisa County Virginia, with Lucy\n         Langston, Robert Daniel's great great grandmother, who was\n         described as being of African and Virginia Indian origins.","Lucy langston lived as the only wife of Ralph Quarles, a\n         white farmer and landholder in Louisa County. Although this\n         was not a legal union(black-white marriages had been outlawed\n         in Virginia in 1692), the two lived as man and wife for more\n         than thirty years.","From this union came four children: Maria (Daniel's great\n         grandmother), Gideon, Charles and John Mercer Langston (who\n         become the first president of Virginia State in 1886-1887.\n         Ralph Quarles had given his common law wife her freedom\n         earlier and all four of these children were born free between\n         the years of 1800-1829.","Maria Langston married early and her proud father gave her\n         a section of his farm as a wedding gift and also from her\n         father she recieved as her personal property her husband\n         Joseph Powell, who was a slave belonging to Ralph Quarles.\n         Maria Langston like other free blacks, (men and women) around\n         the state of Virginia were forced to hold their husbands and\n         or wives as their personal property in order to keep the\n         family unit together.","From this union came Robert Daniel's grandmother Lucinda,\n         who like her mother also married a slave and was forced to\n         hold him as her enslaved property. Charles Daniel, father of\n         Robert Daniel was born in 1845 in Louisa and until around 1870\n         lived with his father and learned his trade in shoemaking.","In 1871 he entered the Richmond Institute graduating from\n         the Normal Department in 1877 and its Academic Department in\n         1878. He studied law for one year at Howard University and\n         then accepted a teaching position in Danville, Virginia.","In 1888 he was invited to become the Secretary of Virginia\n         Normal and Collegiate Institute. It was here in the old\n         Virginia hall that Robert Daniel and all but one of the eight\n         Daniel children were born.","Robert P. Daniel graduated from Virginia Union University\n         in 1924. Later, he obtained his MA and his doctorate at\n         Teachers College. He also completed a post doctoral study in\n         Bible at the Union Theological Seminary in New York during the\n         summers of 1943 and 1946.","Robert Daniel began his career in higher education at\n         Virginia Union University in Richmond as an instructor in\n         mathematics in 1924. Concurrently, Dr. Daniel supervised the\n         establishment of the Norfolk division of Virginia Union\n         University which later became the Norfork division of Virginia\n         State College. He was named president of Shaw University in\n         1936 until 1950.","Dr. Daniel was elected president of Virginia State College\n         by the State Board of Education on December 15th 1949\n         following the death of Luther H. Foster.","Dr. Daniel was an active member of several state and\n         national professional organizations."],"prefercite_html_tesm":["\u003cp\u003eRobert Prentiss Daniel Papers, Accession # 1976-16,\n            Special Collections and University Archives, Johnston\n            Memorial Library, Virginia State University, Petersburg,\n            VA.\u003c/p\u003e\n      "],"prefercite_tesim":["Robert Prentiss Daniel Papers, Accession # 1976-16,\n            Special Collections and University Archives, Johnston\n            Memorial Library, Virginia State University, Petersburg,\n            VA."],"scopecontent_html_tesm":["\u003cp\u003eThe Daniel Papers document primarly his becoming the\n         President of Shaw University in 1936 and Virginia State\n         University in 1950.
