At the time, it was known as the Alumnae Association, reflecting its all-women membership. As the growing Madison College began accepting male students, the association renamed itself the Alumni Association to reflect the institution's move towards coeducation. In 2017, the Alumni Association had over 127,000 members. ","The JMU Alumni Association is a JMU organization which facilitates relations with JMU alumni and the university, encouraging their continued engagement and support for the school. The organization's membership consists of all individuals who have completed 12 credit hours from JMU or its previous institutional iterations. ","The Alumni Association is directed by the Alumni Board of Directors, an executive committee, and representatives from the JMU Board of Visitors. The primary actions and strategies of the Board of Directors are carried out by the Office of Alumni Relations.","One of the most visible activities the Alumni Association organizes is class reunions. The reunions take place at regular intervals after a class's graduation. The Alumni Association handles the logistical issues in planning, notifying, and registering alumni for the event. Festivities often include campus tours, luncheons, and group photographs. ","The Alumni Association also oversees the Bluestone Society, a subgroup of alumni from JMU having celebrated their 50th class reunion. Bluestone reunions are marked by larger-scale events and festivities and the members' induction into the society. The earliest mention of the organization was in 1974 at the 50th reunion of the class of 1924. Its official title was given in 1983 for the joint reunion of alumni from 1908 to 1933. All alumni who graduated 50 or more years ago are automatically inducted into the society. The society's name comes from the bluestone architecture of the quad area, the oldest portion of the JMU campus. ","Duplicate photographs as well as negative strips of photographs were not retained. Slide negatives positively identified as pages or images from the yearbook or other historic photographs already part of UA 0051 were not retained. University publications were either discarded if duplicates or added to bibliographic holdings.","See also:   Alumni Collections  held by Special Collections.","The collection consists of the administrative files and photographs of the Alumni Association, all referring to the individual graduated classes of JMU, Madison College, and the State Normal School. The collection also includes the photographs used in a commemorative reunion book and a VHS tape of 1999 reunions.","Series 1: Administrative Files, 1934-2015, is primarily made up of files used for the logistical planning of reunions and files created for reunion attendees. These files include photographs, reunion booklets, active class member lists, sign-up sheets, alumni correspondence, and newsletters. These files remain largely in their original order, organized by the graduating classes. Nearly every class file includes reunion booklets for reunions between 1970 and 2005. Most class files include group photographs of alumni during reunions, as well as candid shots of reunion festivities. ","Some ephemeral material donated by alumni to be used to benefit reunion festivities. One such example is a Madison College degree as well as a sorority membership certificate, housed in the Class of 1955 file. ","Also in the series are files for the Bluestone Society and unlabeled class files. The Bluestone Society file includes administrative files for early Bluestone Society reunions, as well as the alma mater for the society. The unlabeled class file includes materials from reunions, but hold no indication as to which graduating class they correspond.","Photographs with accompanying negatives remain in their original envelopes for organizational purposes.","A VHS tape labeled \"1999 Reunions\" is also included. This likely has recordings of the events and festivities of various reunions that took place in 1999. A note is included in the VHS box that lists names and addresses of alumni and their corresponding years, likely a list of alumni to whom copies of the VHS were distributed. ","Series 2: Photographs, 1945-1995, is made up of the photographs submitted by various 1940s alumni to be compiled into the \"Welcome back to the memories... the decade of the '40s\" yearbook-style book given to Bluestone Society members during reunions in the 1990s. All photographs have reference tags attached to refer to its location in the book. The photographs are largely of the 1940s alumni, most taken in the 1990s to represent the alumni at the time of the reunion. The alumni are mostly depicted with friends and family. Many photographs have hand-written notes on the back to identify those pictured and context. These photographs are all represented in the book, most with additional detail on those depicted. ","Photographs are stored according to size for organizational purposes.","Series 3: Accession 2023-0127, 2023-0419, 1924-2008, primarily comprises photographs and photograph albums from events organized by the Alumni Association. Events include reunion weekend festivities, Bluestone Society inductions, Homecoming, Leeolou Alumni Center grand opening and parties, golf tournaments, award ceremonies, and group trips. Administrative files include planning documents, peer institution research, and reunion logistics.","Features commencement, general campus views, buildings and grounds, snow scenes, autumn and changing leaves, Quad, Greek Row, Wilson Hall and cupola, Sonner Hall, Carrier Library, Convocation Center, Warren Hall, Burruss Hall, Hillside dormitories, Newman Lake, Marching Royal Dukes, athletics, students, aerials, 1982 NCAA men's basketball tournament, freshmen move-in, and more.","Documents September 1989 trip to Smith Mountain Lake and April 1990 trip to Edisto Island, South Carolina.

At the time, it was known as the Alumnae Association, reflecting its all-women membership. As the growing Madison College began accepting male students, the association renamed itself the Alumni Association to reflect the institution's move towards coeducation. In 2017, the Alumni Association had over 127,000 members. ","The JMU Alumni Association is a JMU organization which facilitates relations with JMU alumni and the university, encouraging their continued engagement and support for the school. The organization's membership consists of all individuals who have completed 12 credit hours from JMU or its previous institutional iterations. ","The Alumni Association is directed by the Alumni Board of Directors, an executive committee, and representatives from the JMU Board of Visitors. The primary actions and strategies of the Board of Directors are carried out by the Office of Alumni Relations.","One of the most visible activities the Alumni Association organizes is class reunions. The reunions take place at regular intervals after a class's graduation. The Alumni Association handles the logistical issues in planning, notifying, and registering alumni for the event. Festivities often include campus tours, luncheons, and group photographs. ","The Alumni Association also oversees the Bluestone Society, a subgroup of alumni from JMU having celebrated their 50th class reunion. Bluestone reunions are marked by larger-scale events and festivities and the members' induction into the society. The earliest mention of the organization was in 1974 at the 50th reunion of the class of 1924. Its official title was given in 1983 for the joint reunion of alumni from 1908 to 1933. All alumni who graduated 50 or more years ago are automatically inducted into the society. The society's name comes from the bluestone architecture of the quad area, the oldest portion of the JMU campus. ","Duplicate photographs as well as negative strips of photographs were not retained. Slide negatives positively identified as pages or images from the yearbook or other historic photographs already part of UA 0051 were not retained. University publications were either discarded if duplicates or added to bibliographic holdings.","See also:   Alumni Collections  held by Special Collections.","The collection consists of the administrative files and photographs of the Alumni Association, all referring to the individual graduated classes of JMU, Madison College, and the State Normal School. The collection also includes the photographs used in a commemorative reunion book and a VHS tape of 1999 reunions.","Series 1: Administrative Files, 1934-2015, is primarily made up of files used for the logistical planning of reunions and files created for reunion attendees. These files include photographs, reunion booklets, active class member lists, sign-up sheets, alumni correspondence, and newsletters. These files remain largely in their original order, organized by the graduating classes. Nearly every class file includes reunion booklets for reunions between 1970 and 2005. Most class files include group photographs of alumni during reunions, as well as candid shots of reunion festivities. ","Some ephemeral material donated by alumni to be used to benefit reunion festivities. One such example is a Madison College degree as well as a sorority membership certificate, housed in the Class of 1955 file. ","Also in the series are files for the Bluestone Society and unlabeled class files.

Dunn,  The Herald-Mail , February 11, 2002.","The Schoolma'am , 1924. Harrisonburg (Va.): State Normal School for Women.","The Schoolma'am , 1925. Harrisonburg (Va.): State Teachers College.","Bertha Couchman Hess was born April 20, 1884 to David Calvin Couchman and Lucy Gordon Couchman of West Virginia. She married Robert Newton Hess (1880-1854) on June 20 1917 in Martinsburg, West Virginia. She died in April 1980 and is buried at Darkesville Cemetery in Berkelely County, West Virginia.","Ethel Virginia Dunn, Hess' niece, was born September 29, 1903 to William Nelson Dunn and Mary Catherine Couchman Dunn of Martinsburg, West Virginia. Dunn matriculated into the State Normal School for Women at Harrisonburg in 1923 and attended for two years. She was a member of the Choral Club, Racquet Tennis Club, Athletic Association, and Y. W. C. A. She went on to attend Rutgers University where she received a Bachelor of Science degree in education. Dunn was a school teacher Morgantown, West Virginia for four years before continuing her career in New Brunswick, New Jersey where she taught for 44 years. Dunn died February 9, 2002 and is buried at Rosedale Cemetery in Martinsburg, West Virginia.","The donor came into possession of a \"Xerox size box\" of materials saved by Barbara Lucinda (Lucy) Gordon Couchman, Bertha Couchman Hess' mother and Ethel Virginia Dunn's grandmother, and Alice Couchman Staples, the donor's grandmother. The materials that make up this collection were contained within that box.","At some point during initial processing and for unknown reasons, the envelopes that accompanied the letters in this collection were photocopied and the originals discarded. The letters were dated based on the postmark on the envelopes and based on information provided by the donor. In order to streamline the process of applying collection numbers, Special Collections staff completed a large-scale renumbering campaign in the spring of 2017.  This collection was previously cataloged as SU 2002-0910.","The Bertha Couchman Hess and Ethel Virginia Dunn Correspondence, 1918-1927, is comprised of four postcards and seven letters written by Hess and her niece Dunn to their family in Martinsburg, West Virginia. Couchman authored three postcards while visiting Harrisonburg in August 1918 and the remainder of the correspondence was written by Dunn while she was a student at the State Teachers College at Harrisonburg and while she was a teacher in Morgantown, West Virginia.","In Hess' three postcards to family she mentions that she is having a nice time (she attended the fair) and that Harrisonburg is a \"beautiful little town\" of about 6,000 people. The postcards feature scenic views of Harrisonburg and the State Normal School for Women.","Dunn's correspondence dates primarily from her time as a student at the State Normal School for Women. In a postcard written to her grandmother, postmarked October 19, 1923, Dunn describes how she plans to spend her free time: \"I am going on a hike Saturday. We are going up to the mountains for chestnuts. This certainly is a pretty little town and I like it real well.\" The postcard features a view of the court house. An additional five letters are included from Dunn's time as a student and are dated 1924-1925. She wrote to her grandmother, Lucy Gordon Couchman, and her Aunt Bert, presumably the aforementioned Bertha Couchman Hess. Dunn's letters include descriptions of Harrisonburg and campus: \"This is a very pretty town and the view of the mountains are lovely. I never saw such lovely sunsets before. We have a beautiful school. There are eight large stone buildings with red tile roofs.\" She also provides detailed accounts of life as a student including descriptions of classes, roommates, social events, meals, weather, and receiving care packages. She makes frequent mention of her cousin Sadie and Aunt Laura who live in town. Dunn also describes a trip to Clifton Forge, Virginia in March 1925, during the holiday between quarters.","Dunn's last letter is dated November 29, 1927 at which point she is teaching school in Morgantown, West Virginia. She describes the Thanksgiving holiday during which she threw a party for her students. Her class also put together a box of groceries for a needy family.","The copyright interests in this collection have been transferred to the James Madison University Special Collections Library.

The first graduating class was June, 1911, in which twenty students received diplomas. ","The Regular Normal Course was a program designed to prepare women to teach in public schools. At the school's founding in 1909, the Regular Normal Course consisted of one to six years of study, and was open to students with little to no high school education. In 1910, entrance requirements were raised, and women had to have completed at least two years of high school or hold a teaching certificate as a result of a state examination in order to attend, which meant that the Regular Normal Course went from a six-year to a four-year course of study. By 1914, the first two years of the Regular Normal Course (the equivalent of the last two years of high school) was reformed as the two-year Preparatory Course, and upon completion, students received a First Grade High School Certificate. Completion of the third year of the Regular Normal Course entitled a student to receive the Professional Certificate, so long as certain teaching requirements were met. Those who completed the fourth year of the Regular Normal Course received the Full Normal diploma, which amounted to a lifetime teaching certificate requiring no ongoing maintenance.","The Professional Course was a two-year course designed for women who already had four years of high school, those who had completed the Preparatory Course, or who had already received a professional certificate. By 1915, students enrolled in the Professional Course had the option of pursuing specialized certification in Kindergarten and Primary grades, Intermediate and Grammar grades, or High School. A student that completed one year of the Professional Course received a Junior State Normal Certificate, or the Professional Certificate. Those who completed the two-year Professional Course received a Full Normal diploma.","Various other programs, namely Household Arts Program (later named Home Economics Course), Manual Arts, Industrial Arts Course, Kindergarten Training, among others, were offered in the early years, though enrollment was quite small relative to the Regular and Professional Courses.   ","The Harrisonburg Summer Session, which started in 1910, was designed to appeal to those already in teaching positions. In 1911, the State Board of Education authorized the Normal School to issue a Summer School Professional Certificate – one for primary school and one for grammar grades – awarded to students who completed courses in the two six-week summer terms in two separate years. The Summer Professional Certificate was considered more advanced than the First Grade Certificate. By 1916, the certificate requirements increased to three six-week terms over three separate summers, and in 1918 it was replaced by the Elementary Professional Certificate, which required still more study. A unique feature of the Harrisonburg Summer Sessions was that enrollment was also open to men.   ","In 1918, the State Normal School began to offer four year Bachelor programs in Home Economics and Elementary teaching. In 1934 the school officially became a liberal arts institution, able to issue Bachelor of Arts and Bachelor of Science degrees in Education.","Collection was formerly given the collection number SU 93-0225, Diplomas in Carrier Library.","Diplomas, 1912-1941, is an artificial collection, comprised of thirteen diplomas and certificates issued to students at the State Normal and Industrial School for Women at Harrisonburg, later called the State Normal School for Women, State Teachers College at Harrisonburg, and the State Normal School Summer Session. ","Of particular note is the Isabelle M. Bateman certificate, issued by State Department of Public Instruction, which contains a field for \"race: white.\" The Bateman certificate has four photographs adhered to reverse, with the following labels: Bettie Leffel, age 5; Uncle Arthur Davis; Grandmother Bateman; Uncle Arthur and Curtis Fawley.","Copyright for materials authored or otherwise produced as official business of James Madison University is retained by James Madison University.

The first graduating class was June, 1911, in which twenty students received diplomas. ","The Regular Normal Course was a program designed to prepare women to teach in public schools. At the school's founding in 1909, the Regular Normal Course consisted of one to six years of study, and was open to students with little to no high school education. In 1910, entrance requirements were raised, and women had to have completed at least two years of high school or hold a teaching certificate as a result of a state examination in order to attend, which meant that the Regular Normal Course went from a six-year to a four-year course of study. By 1914, the first two years of the Regular Normal Course (the equivalent of the last two years of high school) was reformed as the two-year Preparatory Course, and upon completion, students received a First Grade High School Certificate. Completion of the third year of the Regular Normal Course entitled a student to receive the Professional Certificate, so long as certain teaching requirements were met. Those who completed the fourth year of the Regular Normal Course received the Full Normal diploma, which amounted to a lifetime teaching certificate requiring no ongoing maintenance.","The Professional Course was a two-year course designed for women who already had four years of high school, those who had completed the Preparatory Course, or who had already received a professional certificate. By 1915, students enrolled in the Professional Course had the option of pursuing specialized certification in Kindergarten and Primary grades, Intermediate and Grammar grades, or High School. A student that completed one year of the Professional Course received a Junior State Normal Certificate, or the Professional Certificate. Those who completed the two-year Professional Course received a Full Normal diploma.","Various other programs, namely Household Arts Program (later named Home Economics Course), Manual Arts, Industrial Arts Course, Kindergarten Training, among others, were offered in the early years, though enrollment was quite small relative to the Regular and Professional Courses.   ","The Harrisonburg Summer Session, which started in 1910, was designed to appeal to those already in teaching positions. In 1911, the State Board of Education authorized the Normal School to issue a Summer School Professional Certificate – one for primary school and one for grammar grades – awarded to students who completed courses in the two six-week summer terms in two separate years. The Summer Professional Certificate was considered more advanced than the First Grade Certificate. By 1916, the certificate requirements increased to three six-week terms over three separate summers, and in 1918 it was replaced by the Elementary Professional Certificate, which required still more study. A unique feature of the Harrisonburg Summer Sessions was that enrollment was also open to men.   ","In 1918, the State Normal School began to offer four year Bachelor programs in Home Economics and Elementary teaching. In 1934 the school officially became a liberal arts institution, able to issue Bachelor of Arts and Bachelor of Science degrees in Education.","Collection was formerly given the collection number SU 93-0225, Diplomas in Carrier Library.","Diplomas, 1912-1941, is an artificial collection, comprised of thirteen diplomas and certificates issued to students at the State Normal and Industrial School for Women at Harrisonburg, later called the State Normal School for Women, State Teachers College at Harrisonburg, and the State Normal School Summer Session.

She studied music in Boston and New York and became Glee Club Director at the State Normal School for Women at Harrisonburg in 1916, a position she held until her retirement in 1956. Shaeffer was also a member of the music faculty and, in addition to the Glee Club, she worked with the Madison College Chorus. Perhaps the most significant highlight from her tenure at Madison occurred in March 1956 when Shaeffer, along with 29 Glee Club members, performed for service members in Keflavik, Iceland; Lajes Field, Azores; and Kindley Air Force Base, Bermuda. The performances were part of an Easter Concert Tour with the Military Air Transport Service Division of the United States Air Force. Other highlights include performances in Winchester's Apple Blossom Festival, singing partnerships with other colleges, performances with the National Symphony Orchestra, and a 1955 trip to Florida to sing with the Federation of Music Clubs.","Outside of the college, Shaeffer served as Director of Music and organist at Harrisonburg's First Presbyterian Church for 52 years. She was a former president of the Virginia Federation of Music Clubs and was a member of the American Guild of Organists.","Shaeffer died September 12, 1959 and is buried at Woodbine Cemetery in Harrisonburg. Shaeffer's impact on the JMU community reached well beyond her time at the university and beyond her lifetime. The Latimer-Shaeffer Theatre opened in Duke Hall in 1967 and was named after Shaeffer and Mary Latimer, former head of the drama department at Madison College. The theatre closed in 2010 with a final production of \"bobrauschenbergamerica.\" Additionally, the Edna T. Shaeffer Humanist Award is awarded to faculty members in the College of Arts and Letters and the College of Visual and Performing Arts for scholarly research projects on topics in the humanities.","Based on an earlier iteration of the collection title (Edna T. Shaeffer Retirement Album), this collection of letters was likely bound in an album or scrapbook at some point. The current state of the letters is that they are all loose. It is unclear when they were removed from their original housing or what became of the album.

Of particular interest is a letter from a former student, Helen, who wrote to Shaeffer just 24 hours after giving birth to congratulate her on her retirement. A May 1, 1956 letter from Mrs. Walter E.

Shaeffer,  Daily News-Record , September 14, 1959.","Edna Trout Shaeffer was born near Harrisonburg on January 11, 1886 to Edmund Shaeffer and Dora M. Shaeffer. She studied music in Boston and New York and became Glee Club Director at the State Normal School for Women at Harrisonburg in 1916, a position she held until her retirement in 1956. Shaeffer was also a member of the music faculty and, in addition to the Glee Club, she worked with the Madison College Chorus. Perhaps the most significant highlight from her tenure at Madison occurred in March 1956 when Shaeffer, along with 29 Glee Club members, performed for service members in Keflavik, Iceland; Lajes Field, Azores; and Kindley Air Force Base, Bermuda. The performances were part of an Easter Concert Tour with the Military Air Transport Service Division of the United States Air Force. Other highlights include performances in Winchester's Apple Blossom Festival, singing partnerships with other colleges, performances with the National Symphony Orchestra, and a 1955 trip to Florida to sing with the Federation of Music Clubs.","Outside of the college, Shaeffer served as Director of Music and organist at Harrisonburg's First Presbyterian Church for 52 years. She was a former president of the Virginia Federation of Music Clubs and was a member of the American Guild of Organists.","Shaeffer died September 12, 1959 and is buried at Woodbine Cemetery in Harrisonburg. Shaeffer's impact on the JMU community reached well beyond her time at the university and beyond her lifetime. The Latimer-Shaeffer Theatre opened in Duke Hall in 1967 and was named after Shaeffer and Mary Latimer, former head of the drama department at Madison College. The theatre closed in 2010 with a final production of \"bobrauschenbergamerica.\" Additionally, the Edna T. Shaeffer Humanist Award is awarded to faculty members in the College of Arts and Letters and the College of Visual and Performing Arts for scholarly research projects on topics in the humanities.","Based on an earlier iteration of the collection title (Edna T. Shaeffer Retirement Album), this collection of letters was likely bound in an album or scrapbook at some point. The current state of the letters is that they are all loose. It is unclear when they were removed from their original housing or what became of the album. In order to streamline the process of applying collection numbers, Special Collections staff completed a large-scale renumbering campaign in the spring of 2017.  This collection was previously cataloged as SU 93-0331.","JMU Special Collections houses numerous collections of Glee Club alumni.","The Edna T. Shaeffer Retirement Letters, 1940, 1956, is a collection of approximately 60 congratulatory letters presented to Shaeffer upon her retirement as director of the Glee Club from Madison College. Correspondents are former students who sang under direction and tutelage. The correspondents share fond memories and funny anecdotes of time spent in the Glee Club and express their appreciation of Shaeffer's leadership, knowledge, and expertise. Of particular interest is a letter from a former student, Helen, who wrote to Shaeffer just 24 hours after giving birth to congratulate her on her retirement. A May 1, 1956 letter from Mrs. Walter E. Hoffman includes two black-and-white photographs of Hoffman. Other correspondents include Delphine Hurst Parsons, Mary Spitzer Etter, Inez Graybeal Roop, and Julia Smith Martin.","Two letters not directly related to Shaeffer's retirement include a letter from Albert H.
