OUR HERITAGE In summarizing by pictures the highlights of the now closing school year, it is only fitting that we look back to the heritage which has made it possible. Thru the foresight of a number of Norfolk’s leading citizens the College of William and Mary was interested in starting resident college instruction in this area. The City donated a building, our present Science Building, and in the Fall of 1930 the Norfolk Division formally opened its doors to 125 students. In 1931 the Virginia Polytechnic Institute joined in the venture enabling a broad offering of engineering, science and liberal arts. During the first five years all college activities were housed in the original building. From the beginning our college grew steadily and in 1935 the Administration Building with its two gyms, swimming pool and library was completed. Foreman Field was also completed and formally dedicated. With the advent of World War II the college, in an effort to serve, organized a large War Training Program with both day and evening classes. This program subsequently developed into our present Technical Institute. Two large classroom buildings were added in 1948 to take care of the large crush of veterans returning to college. The State of Virginia has just appropriated funds for building a new Science Hall and a new Vocational Building. Construction is expected to begin on these two buildings next fall. From its inception the college has emphasized good teaching and scholarship. Willingly helpful, friendly faculty members are the rule, not exception. Through their tutorage our students are able to hold their own in senior colleges throughout the nation. We can proudly say our college is accredited nationally by passing high standards set by the Southern Association of Colleges and the National Committee of Accreditation. These and many other things we have inherited. As we move on we express our appreciation to those preceding us who made them possible and hope we too may have contributed something to help those who will follow us.
