A propos de cet article

Format is approximately 7.875 inches by 10.675 inches. 176 pages (includes some pages of advertisements). Illustrations. . Cover has some wear and soiling. After some preliminary material, the yearbook is organized as Book I The College (with a tipped in photograph of the Administration building on the top half); Book II S.A.T.C, Book III The Classes; Book IV Athletics, and Book IV Organizations. This contains a World War I related section on the Student Army Training Corps. Roanoke College was one of the first to make application to the War Department of a unit of the Student Army Training Corps. As it is stated on page 33, ".the knowledge that Roanoke College had a hundred and twenty real officers, in the making, must have contributed in no small way to the Hun Collapse on November 11, 1918." Roanoke College is a private liberal arts college in Salem, Virginia. It has approximately 2,000 students who represent approximately 40 states and 30 countries.[6] The college offers 35 majors, 57 minors and concentrations, and pre-professional programs. Roanoke awards bachelor's degrees in arts, science, and business administration and is one of 280 colleges with a chapter of the Phi Beta Kappa honor society. A boys' preparatory school was founded by Lutheran pastors David F. Bittle and Christopher C. Baughmann. Originally located in Augusta County near Staunton, the school was named Virginia Institute until chartered on January 30, 1845, as Virginia Collegiate Institute. In 1847, the institute moved to Salem which was developing into a center of commerce and transportation in the region; the school moved all of its possessions in a single covered wagon. The Virginia General Assembly granted a college charter on March 14, 1853 and approved the name Roanoke College, chosen in honor of the Roanoke Valley. Bittle then served as the college's first president. Roanoke was one of the few Southern colleges that remained open throughout the American Civil War. The student body was organized into a corps of cadets and fought with Confederate forces near Salem in December 1863. The students were outmatched and quickly forced to surrender, but the Union commander paroled them and allowed them to return to their studies. The college company was formally mustered into the Confederate Army, Virginia Reserves, on September 1, 1864, but the students did not see combat before the war ended. Roanoke enrolled its first international students in the late 19th century; the first Mexican student in 1876 and the first Japanese student in 1888. The first Korean to graduate from an American college or university, Surh Beung Kiu, graduated in 1898. Coeducation Roanoke became coeducational in 1930. A small number of non-degree-seeking women, mostly from Elizabeth College in Salem, were previously enrolled. Originally named Roanoke Women's College, Elizabeth was a sister Lutheran women's college destroyed by fire in 1921 and closed; the female students finished the 1921-22 academic year at Roanoke. This is the Twentieth edition of The Roentgen Rays, Presumed first printing of this edition. …
