He attended the University of Virginia for both his undergraduate and graduate degrees. He then took and passed a course in law at Washington and Lee University, after which he practiced law in Atlanta with his brother.

After leaving private education for public, he served as principal of Clifton Forge grade and high school, then returned to Richmond as principal of Leigh Public School for six years. During this time he gradually made his way to higher education by teaching evening English classes at the Virginia Mechanics Institute. He also served as a state school examiner and the secretary of that board.","In 1909, President Edward Russell hired Chandler as a professor of Latin at the new Normal School in Fredericksburg; he became Dean shortly thereafter, also serving as acting president during an illness late in President Russells term.

He wrote the Virginia supplement to Fryes Grammar School Geography, which was a nationally used textbook. He also published in the magazine for the Virginia Teachers Association and served as the education editor of the Richmond News-Leader for three years.","In his nine years as president (1919-1928), Chandler faced many challenges that he met with great success. He doubled the size of the faculty, eliminated the high school curriculum to focus on college courses, and strengthened the student teaching program by establishing the College Heights High School on campus. Housed in the appropriately named Chandler Hall, this school enrolled more than 400 students from elementary through high school levels and provided practical teaching preparation.","Chandler also increased the size of the campus with a new student activities building, an open-air theater, and the Virginia Hall residence.

While still concentrating on teacher education, Fredericksburg would focus on teaching music, industrial arts, and commercial subjects (business).

He was also one of the two Fredericksburg persons listed in Whos Who in America.","On September 10, 1928, at the age of 58, Chandler suffered a stroke and died while on his way home from the College. He is buried in Bowling Green. After his death, his wife Blanche sold their home to the College, and it served first as the infirmary and later was named Anne Fairfax Hall. As a testament to his commitment to higher education for women as well as an indication of his great fondness for the school that he served, Chandler willed $1,000.00 to the College to establish scholarships for the education of some worthy Junior or Senior students.

He was also one of the two Fredericksburg persons listed in Whos Who in America.","On September 10, 1928, at the age of 58, Chandler suffered a stroke and died while on his way home from the College. He is buried in Bowling Green. After his death, his wife Blanche sold their home to the College, and it served first as the infirmary and later was named Anne Fairfax Hall. As a testament to his commitment to higher education for women as well as an indication of his great fondness for the school that he served, Chandler willed $1,000.00 to the College to establish scholarships for the education of some worthy Junior or Senior students. ","The collection contains Algernon B. Chandler, Jr.'s records from 1919-1928, and principally includes correspondence related to school employees and students; reports to various state education and governmental bodies; and items documenting the fundraising for and building of the Student Alumnae Services Building. Much of the correspondence in Series 1 concerns the appointments and reappointments of College faculty, and several memos are signed by the faculty members. Letters also concern admissions and disciplinary problems with students. All of the correspondence is arranged either chronologically or alphabetically by folder. Series 2 includes official reports sent to the state board that governed Virginias normal schools and teachers colleges from 1919-1928. Other reports include bound copies of the state budget bill for 1920, 1922, and 1923, and the appropriations bill for 1922, 1923, and 1924, as well as a supplemental appropriation bill for 1926. Series 3 contains materials related to the Student Goverment, some items belonging to Mrs. Chandler, and a sub-series pertaining to the Student Alumnae Service Building. Items of note are publicity materials for the capital campaign to raise money, a sales manual used to train those soliciting donations, alumni and donor lists, and solicitation correspondence that is arranged chronologically.","University of Mary Washington Special Collections and University Archives","University of Mary Washington.

Since the establishment of the University in 1908, clubs and student activities have been founded and faded out throughout the decades. These folders highlight many of the University's older clubs that are no longer active such as the Home Economics Club, the Cavalry Club, etc. These folders contain a variety of documents from promotional event flyers to club constitutions, and photographs. Depending on the club, there is more documentation. The majority of clubs established before the technological advancements of the 1990s have many physical club records.

He graduated from Virginia Military Institute in 1891 and studied law at Richmond College until he began teaching. His early teaching career was varied: he served as principal at Pulaski, for two-years as commandant of the Fishburne Military Academy, and as superintendent of schools in Bristol, where he founded and conducted a summer school for teachers at Emory and Henry College. In 1905 he became a member of the State Board of Public School Examiners for the First Circuit that included Fredericksburg. While in Fredericksburg, he again founded and taught a summer school for teachers.","Based partially on his intimate knowledge of the public schools as well as his successful summer institutes for teachers, on May 19, 1908 the Board of Trustees appointed Russell as president of the new Fredericksburg State Normal and Industrial School for Women.","Beyond his responsibilities for establishing the facilities of the school, Russell also set the courses of instruction. He established a regular course that was two to four years of high school level education and a professional course that was a two year normal school course after a high school education. It was Russells hope that as the state established more high schools, the regular course would be reduced by two years. The professional course covered general education, methodology, and student teaching completed in concert with the Fredericksburg Public School system. The program concluded with a teaching certificate issued by the State Board of Examiners.","Due to limited accommodations, admission to the new teacher-training school was competitive; applicants were required to be at least fifteen years old, of good moral character, and possessing a thorough knowledge of subjects taught in the grammar grades of public school. Social standards were equally high. Students were expected to practice self-control and required to wear clothing of simplicity and modesty. Though the school was not affiliated with any single church, Russell extended his policy of discipline to religious worship. Students were expected to attend some church, preferably by the choice of their parents. Aside from church-sponsored entertainment, students had numerous activities to choose from, including sports and clubs. The Russell Literary Society was particularly popular among students, as well as the Student Government Association and the school yearbook, the Battlefield.","As the first president of what is now the University of Mary Washington, Russell supplemented the normal school course of study with curriculum in classical, commercial, and industrial courses, already envisioning a larger institution. However, his ambitious efforts weakened him physically, and ill health forced him to resign the presidency on May 9, 1919. He then moved with his family to Washington, where he entered the real estate business. He died in 1956. ","The collection contains Edward H. Russell's records from 1909-1919, and principally includes correspondence related to school subjects and personnel; reports to various state education bodies; reports on teachers salaries and summer school; and reports of comparative statistics with other similar institutions. Some reports in this collection were generated by Dean Algernon B. Chandler, Jr. acting on behalf of the President.","Folder 8 contains materials pertaining to the appointment of Hugh S. Bird as head of the Education Department at the Normal School. Also included are progress reports to the Fredericksburg School Board relative to using the Fredericksburg schools for teacher training. Folder 9 contains memos to student employees and memos regarding special privileges of the senior class. Folder 10 contains materials documenting rules and procedures for the new schools library, swimming pool, and housekeeping services. Folder 15 contains various reports to the state board governing the four Normal Schools in Virginia. It also includes reports on the impact of the Spanish influenza on the students and faculty.

His early teaching career was varied: he served as principal at Pulaski, for two-years as commandant of the Fishburne Military Academy, and as superintendent of schools in Bristol, where he founded and conducted a summer school for teachers at Emory and Henry College. In 1905 he became a member of the State Board of Public School Examiners for the First Circuit that included Fredericksburg.

He established a regular course that was two to four years of high school level education and a professional course that was a two year normal school course after a high school education. It was Russells hope that as the state established more high schools, the regular course would be reduced by two years. The professional course covered general education, methodology, and student teaching completed in concert with the Fredericksburg Public School system.

Social standards were equally high. Students were expected to practice self-control and required to wear clothing of simplicity and modesty. Though the school was not affiliated with any single church, Russell extended his policy of discipline to religious worship. Students were expected to attend some church, preferably by the choice of their parents. Aside from church-sponsored entertainment, students had numerous activities to choose from, including sports and clubs.

He\n                graduated from Virginia Military Institute in 1891 and studied law at Richmond\n                College until he began teaching. His early teaching career was varied: he served as\n                principal at Pulaski, for two-years as commandant of the Fishburne Military Academy,\n                and as superintendent of schools in Bristol, where he founded and conducted a summer\n                school for teachers at Emory and Henry College. In 1905 he became a member of the\n                State Board of Public School Examiners for the First Circuit that included\n                Fredericksburg. While in Fredericksburg, he again founded and taught a summer school\n                for teachers.","Based partially on his intimate knowledge of the public schools as well as his\n                successful summer institutes for teachers, on May 19, 1908 the Board of Trustees\n                appointed Russell as president of the new Fredericksburg State Normal and Industrial\n                School for Women.","Beyond his responsibilities for establishing the facilities of the school, Russell\n                also set the courses of instruction. He established a regular course that was two to\n                four years of high school level education and a professional course that was a two\n                year normal school course after a high school education. It was Russells hope that\n                as the state established more high schools, the regular course would be reduced by\n                two years. The professional course covered general education, methodology, and\n                student teaching completed in concert with the Fredericksburg Public School system.\n                The program concluded with a teaching certificate issued by the State Board of\n                Examiners. ","Due to limited accommodations, admission to the new teacher-training school was\n                competitive; applicants were required to be at least fifteen years old, of good\n                moral character, and possessing a thorough knowledge of subjects taught in the\n                grammar grades of public school. Social standards were equally high. Students were\n                expected to practice self-control and required to wear clothing of simplicity and\n                modesty. Though the school was not affiliated with any single church, Russell\n                extended his policy of discipline to religious worship. Students were expected to\n                attend some church, preferably by the choice of their parents. Aside from\n                church-sponsored entertainment, students had numerous activities to choose from,\n                including sports and clubs. The Russell Literary Society was particularly popular\n                among students, as well as the Student Government Association and the school\n                yearbook, the  Battlefield. ","As the first president of what is now the University of Mary Washington, Russell\n                supplemented the normal school course of study with curriculum in classical,\n                commercial, and industrial courses, already envisioning a larger institution.\n                However, his ambitious efforts weakened him physically, and ill health forced him to\n                resign the presidency on May 9, 1919. He then moved with his family to Washington,\n                where he entered the real estate business. He died in 1956. ","The collection contains Edward H. Russell's records from 1909-1919, and principally\n                includes correspondence related to school subjects and personnel; reports to various\n                state education bodies; reports on teachers salaries and summer school; and reports\n                of comparative statistics with other similar institutions. Some reports in this\n                collection were generated by Dean Algernon B. Chandler, Jr. acting on behalf of the\n                President. ","Folder 8 contains materials pertaining to the appointment of Hugh S. Bird as head of\n                the Education Department at the Normal School. Also included are progress reports to\n                the Fredericksburg School Board relative to using the Fredericksburg schools for\n                teacher training. Folder 9 contains memos to student employees and memos regarding\n                special privileges of the senior class. Folder 10 contains materials documenting\n                rules and procedures for the new schools library, swimming pool, and housekeeping\n                services. Folder 15 contains various reports to the state board governing the four\n                Normal Schools in Virginia. It also includes reports on the impact of the Spanish\n                influenza on the students and faculty. ","There are no restrictions.
