Ograduates to the young Virginia Agricultural and Mechanical College. The land-grant War Memorial Gym school in rural Montgomery County opened in 1872 and produced its first class of certificate graduates in 1875. This group of twelve students proudly became the first alumni of their alma mater and called themselves “Alumni of VAMC.” William Addison Caldwell, VAMC’s first enrolled student, was elected Alumni Secretary in 1876. Early dues established for a one-year membership in the Alumni Association were $1. From these modest beginnings by a group of a dozen alumni, the Virginia Tech Alumni Association has become a valuable conduit connecting graduates to their institution’s heritage, and an archive for the successes of over 200,000 alumni since the institution first opened its doors. 1926 - 1968 Burruss Hall The VAMC Alumni Association grew as more classes graduated. In 1891, realizing the benefit that the association could have to a growing college, the board of directors reorganized with an eye towards expansion. A constitution was drawn and an Alumni Register was published. From this point, the Alumni Association became more involved in the college’s affairs. The association’s officers, still all volunteers at this time, maintained a working relationship with the college president who often consulted with the board on the welfare of the institution. 1968 - 1984 Colonel J.S.A.
