    It is an exciting time to be a Hokie! With our entrance into the Atlantic Coast Conference, Virginia Tech has truly come home, where it deserves to be, in the ACC. It is also an exciting time for Virginia Tech basketball. The 2004-05 schedule brings the greatest challenge in school history; competing in the ACC. The Atlantic Coast Conference is THE BEST BASKETBALL CONFERENCE IN THE NATION, PERIOD. And we intend not just to play, but to compete and win. Our motto for the season is: ACC ACCept the challenge, ACCept the opportunity. This season, Virginia Tech will have the toughest and most attractive home schedule in school history. With games against Duke, Virginia, Maryland, Wake Forest and our first-ever ACC game, against North Carolina on Dec. 19th. There is a pretty good chance that the Hokies will entertain the top- ranked team in the country several times during the season. We finished our run in the Big East Conference on a very positive note. advancing to the quarterfinals of the Big East Tournament after winning our last five home games to complete a winning season. To compete in the ACC will take a lot more from our players, our coaches, our fans and our entire program. The 2003-04 season saw Virginia Tech fans return to Cassell Coliseum in droves. As a school, we ranked sixth nationally in increased attendance. With this season’s schedule, we can surpass that stat. Sellouts will rule! The most satisfying aspect of my first season at Virginia Tech was the support and enthusiasm demonstrated by the students, fans and Commonwealth.

  • The Presidency of Warren Daniel Bowman 1949-1964
    x The Presidency of Warren Daniel Bowman 1949-1964 The Choice of a New College Head When Charles C. Wright was Bridgewater's acting president (1948-49), the search for a president of the college continued. In the fall of 1948, the institution's board of trustees, upon the recommendation of its search committee and of its executive committee, offered the presidency to Forrest L. Weller, a Manchester College graduate (1925) and a Ph.D. (1945) of the University of Chicago.1 Professor Weller, the Department of Sociology head at the University of South Dakota, accepted the appointment, but shortly thereafter resigned. 2 On December 31, 1948, the trustee board's executive committee, upon a motion made by John C. Myers, voted to consider Warren Daniel Bowman for the presidency of the college,3 and on February 21, 1949, the members of the board, by unanimous vote, elected Dr. Bowman president (his term to begin on July 1, 1949), and set his salary at $6,000 for the first year.4 The college's alumni association endorsed the trustees' action and assured the president-elect of its wholehearted support.5 ' The New President Warren Daniel Bowman (1894-1987), the son of Benjainin F. Bowman and Mary E. (Miller) Bowman, was born near Dayton, Virginia. He was educated at Bridgewater College (B. A., 1920) and at the University of Chicago (M.A., 1922; Ph.D., 1930). He was instructor at the State Teachers College, Farmville, Virginia, 1923-30; head of the Department of Education and Psychology at Juniata College, 1930-37; and a teacher in the summer sessions at George Peabody College for teachers (1923, 1924), Emory University (1925), the University of Virginia (1930), and Duke University (1936,1937).
