  • Virginia Tech Class of 2 0 11 Celebrating 100 Years of Tradition
    Virginia Tech CLASS of 2 0 11 Celebrating 100 Years of Tradition CelebraTing 100 Years of TradiTion TRADITION The Virginia Tech Class ring embodies and invokes memories, traditions and pride that tie Hokies, young and old, together. The tradition began in the 1911–1912 school session when four classes (1911–1914) designed their rings. The Class of 2011 has the honor of celebrating the 100th anniversary of the Virginia Tech ring. Since the beginning, each Virginia Tech class has designed a ring distinctive and unique to its class. Today, Virginia Tech is one of only a few colleges and universities that redesign their ring collection each year. Driven by Tradition Each year, the sophomore class selects a Ring Design Committee responsible for designing and marketing their class ring collection, adding elements that reflect their class experiences on the class We Forge Ahead. side. All ring designs have an eagle and crossed sabers, usually found on the university side and symbolizing the military heritage and traditions of the Corps of Cadets. The chain links that have encircled the ring bezel on Virginia Tech rings since 1940 represent class unity, the strength of many Traditione acti, procedimus united as one. Since 1991, the design process has included the recognition of a distinguished alumnus, alumna or Class Colors: Black , Gold, and Vermillion university president. The design, collection, and the namesake are revealed to the class during the fall of their junior year at Ring Premiere. In recognizing alumnus president Dr. Charles W. Steger ‘69 and his wife, Janet Steger ‘70 as their class namesakes, the Class of 2011 celebrates the 20th anniversary of this special tradition.

HISTORIC SITES SLJRVEY VOLLJ ME 1 JULY, 1986 Montgomery County Reconnaissance Level Survey July, 1986 INTRODUCTION Since the adoption of the Comprehensive Plan in 1983, Montgomery County has experienced increased development and population growth. In light of this growth, the Planning Commission became aware of the need for a tool to help plan growth and still preserve the County's historical and architectural resources, The need to inventory these resources was evident. In 1985, Montgomery County applied and received a matching grant from the Division of Historic Landmarks to perform a Reconnaissance Level Survey of the County's architecturally significant buildings. This survey includes the following: 1) An Overview of the County's History 2) A Comprehensive Inventory of significant structures and sites in the County--including photographs and floor plans and; 3) Maps delineating the location of said structures and sites. It is anticipated that thfs survey will be a useful resource in future planning activities such as the evaluation of rezoning requests, the revision of the Comprehensive Plan and potential amendments of the County's Zoning Ordfnance to create a Historic District Overlay. Further, it will provide citizens interested in doing historical, archaeological. and genealogical research with valuable information. The following individuals contributed to the realization of this final report. Gibson Worsham, Architect Dan Pezzoni, Surveyor Charlotte Worsham, Architectural Historian David Rotenizer, President, New River Valley Chapter, Archeological Society of Virgdnia Frank Lorino Jeanie Maslich, Planning Department Secretary Valerie McBrayer, Secretary Bill Ruska, Planning Staff Nancy Ward, Planning Staff TABLE OF CONTENTS Volume I: Introduction Table of Contents Survey Methodology ...................................

  • April 16, 2007 at Virginia Tech— To: Multiple Recipients: 'There Is A
    Fast Capitalism ISSN 1930-014X Volume 3 • Issue 1 • 2007 doi:10.32855/fcapital.200702.001 April 16, 2007 at Virginia Tech— To: Multiple Recipients: ‘There is a Gunman on Campus Timothy W. Luke Monday, April 16, 2007 dawned coldly in Blacksburg, Virginia. This reflection about that terrible day for Virginia Tech is difficult to write, but something must be written. Universities work best when they are free, open, and untrammeled sites for intellectual growth, constant learning, and scholarly inquiry. This has been true at this university, and it remains the case in many places around the world. Because of April 16, there will be repeated, strong and understandable calls to abridge, if not, constrain these conditions, through expanded policing and constant surveillance. To admit they are understandable, however, is not to agree that they are acceptable. Indeed, they could lead to overcompensating police measures that no outstanding university should tolerate as well as create a far more restrictive academic setting for teaching and learning that I would not wish to experience. Careful consideration of the violent events of that day, therefore, must defend, fully and forthrightly, the place of every university to serve as a free and open site for scholarship and study. Here is my effort to meet that task. While I have had many people at the university read through this account, my observations about April 16, and this analysis of what occurred here on that day, as well as many of the days since that event, represent only my personal perspective on many of the contradictory issues involved rather than an official statement of any sort.
