THE RECORDS OF THE

PRESIDENT'S OFFICE

AR-0009

 

University Archives

Virginia Union University

March 2001

 

These records reflect the administration of the university as well as the president's outreach activities such as alumni relations and speaking engagements. The files are arranged alphabetically by subject and form a series by administration, though there is some crossover between administrations.

The presidents of the university have been as follows:

Dr. Malcolm MacVicar 1899-1904

Dr. George R. Hovey 1905-1918

Dr. William J. Clark 1919-1941

Dr. John M. Ellison 1941-1955

Dr. Samuel D. Proctor 1955-1960

Dr. Thomas H. Henderson 1960-1970

Dr. Allix B. James 1970-1979

Dr. Dorothy N. Cowling, acting 1979

Dr. David T. Shannon 1979-1985

Dr. S. Dallas Simmons 1985-1999

Dr. Bernard W. Franklin 1999-current

Much of the collection consists of memos and letters to and from the president. There are files relating to students' standing with the university - financial and academic - so that this collection should be considered restricted depending on the researcher's intended use. It's probably advisable that the university's legal counsel be consulted for any outside research requests. An inventory of the collection by file folder will follow.

Date Span: 1934-1999

Series I - Administration of Dr. Allix B. James 1970-1979: James started working at VUU in 1947 as a bible instructor. He was promoted to Dean of Students, then Dean of the Graduate School of Religion. He was Vice President under Dr. Henderson before being appointed President when Henderson died in 1970.

During his tenure, James oversaw many accomplishments, including the establishment of a vigorous corporate gift program, the most notable being a $2 million donation from Mr. and Mrs. Sydney Lewis matched by the Ford Foundation on a challenge from Lewis. Other corporate donors included Rockefeller, Lilly, Mellon, Phillip Morris and Kellogg. These gifts allowed renovations to the aging campus facilities among other things. The old Department of Commerce was upgraded and named the Sydney Lewis School of Business Administration, achieving full accreditation in the process.

Coburn Hall burned in James' first year as President; it wouldn't get rebuilt until Dr. Simmons' administration. Dave Robbins was appointed basketball coach under James, creating some controversy because he was not African-American. This contention was set aside, however, when Robbins coached the Panthers to a record number of championship wins.

Two Homecoming programs in the James years featured actors Bill Cosby, Sidney Poitier and TV "Mission Impossible's" Greg Morris. Community Learning Week was established as a city-wide celebration after beginning as a university holiday to mark the assassination of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Upward Bound, a preparatory program for college-bound youths, was started on campus during James' administration.

Dr. James stepped down from the presidency in 1979 and took a year's sabbatical leave. He returned as a full professor of theology and retired completely from VUU in 1993.

Series II - Administration of Dr. S. Dallas Simmons 1985-1999: Simmons was known as a businessman credited with turning around the university's $6 million deficit and eliminating it within 6 years. He was only the second president of VUU who was not a clergyman. The first was Dr. Henderson. Before coming to VUU in 1985, Simmons was president of St. Paul's College in Lawrenceville. He had taught business at North Carolina Central University previously, and holds a Ph.D. from Duke University.

Besides pulling the university from the brink of bankruptcy, Simmons is most notably credited with the construction of the university's first library building. The L. Douglas Wilder Library was opened in 1997.

Other accomplishments, according to a full-color brochure "A Decade of Achievement," include reinstating 11 endowed scholarships and establishing 57 new ones, rebuilding Coburn Hall finally after it burned in 1970, bringing a police academy to campus in a cooperative effort with the Richmond police, bringing the headquarters of the Baptist General Convention to campus, tripling the university's overall endowment, and earning the highest auditors' ratings after establishing a strict internal accounting system and hiring 4 CPAs to staff the university accounting office.

Simmons resigned in 1999.

Series III - Administration of Dr. William J. Clark 1919-1941: Clark was the third president of VUU and the president of the longest tenure. He was a professor of church history and theological instruction at VUU before becoming president. During his administration, the university merged with Hartshorn Memorial College, a sister college adjacent to the VUU campus. The Hartshorn property was sold to balance the VUU books which suffered during the Depression. See Virginia Union Bulletin, Centennial Issue, June 1965, "A Century of Service to Education and Religion" for overview of Clark's administration.
