McBryde was the first president to have a relatively free hand in developing the academic program, selecting associates, formulating policies, and planning the physical plant of the College. ","Major accomplishments of his administration included: establishing position of Dean in 1903-04 to aid in administration duties; reorganizing the curriculum and creating seven new 4- year courses leading to Bachelor of Science degrees; introducing a program of graduate study in 1891 and establishing a Graduate Department, with its own Dean, in 1907; starting the summer school program in 1904. Also during his tenure, McBryde improved and expanded the physical plant, with six buildings being renovated and sixty-seven new buildings constructed. The faculty increased from nine in 1891 to forty-eight in 1907 and enrollment rose from one hundred and thirty-five in 1891 to a peak of seven hundred and twenty-eight in 1904/05. McBryde was also the first president to encourage student activities, as witnessed by the beginning of an athletic program and resumption of publication of the Gray Jacket, as well as the adoption of school colors.","Hazing controversies plagued McBryde's administration, but his handling of the early cases tended to enhance his prestige as well as strengthen the College's image.","Because of declining health, McBryde was granted a six months leave of absence for rest and recuperation from January to June 1906. During this interval, the Board appointed Ellison Smyth and Theodorick Campbell to serve jointly as president of the Campus and designated the Rector, J. Thompson Brown, as official head of the College. McBryde returned to his duties as president, but since his health did not improve, he resigned effective 1 July 1907.","The guide to the Records of the Office of the President, John McLaren McBryde by Special Collections and University Archives, Virginia Tech, is licensed under a CC0 ( https://creativecommons.org/share-your- work/public-domain/cc0/ ).","The 3rd quoted letter in the book  The first 100 years; a history of Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University , by Duncan Lyle Kinnear, 1972.","The 8th quoted letter in the book  The first 100 years; a history of Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University , by Duncan Lyle Kinnear, 1972.","The 16th quoted letter in the book  The first 100 years; a history of Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University , by Duncan Lyle Kinnear, 1972.","The 11th quoted letter in the book  The first 100 years; a history of Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University , by Duncan Lyle Kinnear, 1972.","The processing, arrangement, and description of the Records of the Office of the President, John McLaren McBryde was completed prior to 1997.

There is also much routine correspondence including requests for catalogs, letters from concerned parents, and business letters.

Volume I (14 February 1900 - 5 March 1900) includes some letters signed by McBryde as Director of Virginia Agricultural Experiment Station.

","This is a letter from McBryde appointing a \"Committee on publication\" consisting of 3 faculty members - Campbell, Williams, and Newman - due to the lack of enforcement of the by-law requiring that all speeches and paper prepared by students for public delivery or college publication must be read and revised by the president.","The contents of this folder are in folder 223 in box 7 of the McBryde Collection.","The documents originally kept with the McBryde files have been removed and made into a separate collection, Christian Case Papers, Ms1996-026.","The copyright status of this collection is unknown.

McBryde was the first president to have a relatively free hand in developing the academic program, selecting associates, formulating policies, and planning the physical plant of the College. ","Major accomplishments of his administration included: establishing position of Dean in 1903-04 to aid in administration duties; reorganizing the curriculum and creating seven new 4- year courses leading to Bachelor of Science degrees; introducing a program of graduate study in 1891 and establishing a Graduate Department, with its own Dean, in 1907; starting the summer school program in 1904. Also during his tenure, McBryde improved and expanded the physical plant, with six buildings being renovated and sixty-seven new buildings constructed. The faculty increased from nine in 1891 to forty-eight in 1907 and enrollment rose from one hundred and thirty-five in 1891 to a peak of seven hundred and twenty-eight in 1904/05. McBryde was also the first president to encourage student activities, as witnessed by the beginning of an athletic program and resumption of publication of the Gray Jacket, as well as the adoption of school colors.","Hazing controversies plagued McBryde's administration, but his handling of the early cases tended to enhance his prestige as well as strengthen the College's image.","Because of declining health, McBryde was granted a six months leave of absence for rest and recuperation from January to June 1906. During this interval, the Board appointed Ellison Smyth and Theodorick Campbell to serve jointly as president of the Campus and designated the Rector, J. Thompson Brown, as official head of the College. McBryde returned to his duties as president, but since his health did not improve, he resigned effective 1 July 1907.","The guide to the Records of the Office of the President, John McLaren McBryde by Special Collections and University Archives, Virginia Tech, is licensed under a CC0 ( https://creativecommons.org/share-your- work/public-domain/cc0/ ).","The 3rd quoted letter in the book  The first 100 years; a history of Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University , by Duncan Lyle Kinnear, 1972.","The 8th quoted letter in the book  The first 100 years; a history of Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University , by Duncan Lyle Kinnear, 1972.","The 16th quoted letter in the book  The first 100 years; a history of Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University , by Duncan Lyle Kinnear, 1972.","The 11th quoted letter in the book  The first 100 years; a history of Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University , by Duncan Lyle Kinnear, 1972.","The processing, arrangement, and description of the Records of the Office of the President, John McLaren McBryde was completed prior to 1997.
