Barringer (1857-1941) as the sixth president of Virginia Agricultural and Mechanical College and Polytechnic Institute (VPI) on May 17, 1907. Accomplishments of his administration include entrance requirements raised from four to fourteen units; a Farmer's Winter Course established; and summer school expanded. ","Barringer's tenure as president was not a smooth one, hampered by several investigations. From the start, he was determined to develop the agricultural facet of VPI until it was at least equal to the engineering component, which caused some dissatisfaction among certain alumni and faculty. In 1909, the Chairman of the Alumni Association Welfare Committee, Lawrence Priddy, attempted to have the Board of Visitors oust Barringer. The Board ordered an investigation and a public hearing was held March 25, 1910, at which Priddy's charges were dismissed as \"unwarranted\" and \"inaccurate.\" However, this was not the end of Barringer's problems. ","In the fall of 1911, the Board again called for an investigation when a former Commandant of Cadets accused Barringer of \"countenancing immorality\" on campus. The investigation concluded that the charges were \"without foundation.\" ","Having survived those investigations, Barringer next ran afoul of Governor William H. Mann, who wanted the College to become involved in agriculture extension work. Barringer did not agree, so Mann said he would appoint a Board of Visitors antagonistic to Barringer if he did not resign. On June 10, 1912, Barringer resigned, but the Board asked him to remain in office another year until a new president was selected.","In 2020, Barringer Hall, a dorm on the Virginia Tech campus named for the president, was renamed Whitehurst Hall after James Whitehurst, the first Black student to live on campus and the first African American on the VT Board of Visitors. According to the  Virginia Tech August 13, 2020 press release entitled \"Board of Visitors Executive Committee approves new names for residence halls\" , Barringer's \"public speeches and writings that were popular throughout the South prior to, during, and subsequent to his time as university president demonstrated and celebrated his personal views as a white supremacist who favored pro-slavery and anti-Black positions.\"","The guide to the Records of the Office of the President, Paul B.

Topics include academic standards; hazing; Hog Cholera outbreak (1908); fires; prohibition; water/sewage system; refrigeration plant; and advantages and dangers of football.

Purchases generally have not been itemized but described simply as \"merchandise.\" Also recorded in brief detail are farm and family accounts.

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. Included with the 1903 correspondence are letters concerning a typhoid epidemic.","Thirteen volumes of letter books (1900-1906) contain copies of outgoing correspondence from McBryde and other members of his administration: C.D. Taliaferro (Secretary to President, Registrar, Acting Treasurer, Superintendent of Book Department); Charles I. Wade (Treasurer, Registrar); Ellison Smyth (Dean). Volume I (14 February 1900 - 5 March 1900) includes some letters signed by McBryde as Director of Virginia Agricultural Experiment Station. Much of 1901-02 correspondence consists of requests and orders for catalogs and books to replenish the library after the Administration Building fire. Volume 7 (19 April 1901 - 23 February 1903) contains two reports from McBryde to Board of Visitors, 1901 and 1902, and a report from McBryde to Joseph W. Southall, Superintendent of Public Instruction. Volume 12 (15 July 1904 - 23 September 1905) contains twenty-eight letters from McBryde to Board of Visitors and others. Volume 13 (25 July 1904-28 September 1905) contains correspondence concerning Sweet Briar Institute and signed by McBryde as Chairman of Executive Committee, Sweet Briar Institute. Most volumes are indexed by recipients of correspondence.","The collection also includes: bibliography of McBryde's writings (1841-1923); annual reports of the president (1891, 1892/93); applications for employment of students (1900/01); bids and contracts (1900-07); correspondence of William Alwood, Professor of Horticulture, Entomology, and Mycology (1901-1904); reports to the president and board of visitors (1902-1907); shops department records (1902-1907); Agriculture Hall material (1905-1906); correspondence of Theodorick Campbell, first Dean of Academic Department (1905-1906); requisitions and orders (1905, 1907/08); fire loss records (1905-1907); reports of absentism, tardiness, delinquency, or unsatisfactory work of students (1906/07, 1907/08); Proceedings Had Before the Committee Appointed to Investigate Charges Against the Virginia Polytechnic Institute (23-28 July 1906); and biographical information on McBryde, including newspaper clippings. ","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.
