  • Virginia Tech Department of Statistics
    Virginia Tech Department of Statistics J. C. Arnold, K. Hinkelmann, G. G. Vining and E. P. Smith The Department of Statistics at Virginia Tech celebrated 60 years of teaching, research, and service in 2009. Since the first Master’s student, James Henry Davidson, graduated in 1945 we have granted over 507 B.S. degrees, 723 M.S. degrees, and 311 Ph.Ds. Our success is due to the foundation that was laid by Boyd Harshbarger starting in 1935 and the continued efforts of department heads and our faculty to maintain and enhance our programs. A brief history of the department is provided below. The departmental webpage (www.stat.vt.edu) contains other articles on the history as well as some interviews with selected faculty and graduates. The Beginning of the Department at VPI Boyd Harshbarger was one of the early pioneers in Statistics in the United States. He founded one of the earliest Departments of Statistics in the country at Virginia Poly- technic Institute, popularly known in those days as VPI. In 1935, he organized and taught the first courses in Statistics through the Department of Mathematics. He received a Rockefeller Fellowship and left to pursue a PhD degree in 1940. He wrote his doctoral dissertation under the direction of the distinguished Professor W.G. Cochran at Iowa State College and George Washington University and returned to VPI in 1942. After returning to VPI, Dr. Harshbarger organized mathematical statistics courses for the Mathematics Department and applied statistics courses for the Virginia Tech, Department of Statistics, 406 A Hutcheson Hall, Blacksburg, VA 24061-0439, USA J.
