Controversial sculpture
A large piece of sculpture was installed in front of Muse Hall in the 1970s and students both loved and hated it. This photo is part of Laura Nolen's "An Illustrated History 1913-1976" of Radford College. Kathy Johnson, Arnesa Foley Lind, Lila Byers Porterfield, and one other student worked on the sculpture for two quarters during the 1970s. They went to construction sites asking for material donations needed to create the sculpture to certain specifications of their art project. The project was considered "controversial" at the time.- Creator

Students carrying books to the new library.
The original library for Radford Normal School was in Founders Hall. By the 1930s it was obvious that a separate and larger library was needed, so McConnell Library was built. The new building was started in 1931 with a budget of $43,000 and completed during the 1931-32 year. Students carried books into the newly constructed building as can be seen in this photo, which is part of Laura Nolan's "An Illustrated History 1913-1976" of Radford College.- Creator

M'Ledge Moffett
For the first several years after the college opened, Moffett taught all of the Household Arts courses (Elementary Sewing, Elementary Cooking and Household Management) which met five times a week. In 1918, the Department doubled in size with the hiring of Myrtle Burnette. Moffett was one of six founding members of the Virginia Home Economics Association and president of the organization during the years 1915-1916 and 1925-1926. During the summers of 1916 through 1920, Moffett took courses at Columbia University’s Teachers College and received a Masters degree in 1921. She received her doctorate from Columbia in 1929, writing her dissertation on "The social background and activities of teachers college students". The dissertation, later published as a book, was the first of many publications. In 1920, the Radford Normal School was reorganized and McConnell appointed Moffett as the new Dean of Women, a year before she received her Master of Arts degree. She was the first person to hold that post at any of the Virginia institutions of higher education. She held the Dean's post until her retirement in 1962.

Charles Knox Martin Jr.
Dr. Charles Knox Martin Jr. was president of Radford University from 1952-1972. He was born in Missouri, and attended Southwest Missouri State College for his undergraduate and graduate degrees. He continued in the late 1930's to receive his Ph.D. from Yale. He went on to teach at Mary Washington College in Fredericksburg, VA before and after the second World War. For the twenty years that Dr. Martin served as president, he oversaw the dissolvement of the Radford College-Virginia Polytechnic Institute connection, and therefore saw to the advancement of Radford College as its own individual institution. During his presidency, the student population of Radford increased dramatically, twenty-two buildings and additions were added to the campus, and the majors offered by the college more than doubled in number. Radford College became the largest women's college in the state. This photo is part of Laura Nolen's "An Illustrated History 1913-1976" of Radford College.- Creator

He taught at both the high school and college levels before he moved into university administration at Colorado State University and Marshall University. Dr. Dedmon served as Marshall’s executive vice president and acting president before coming to Radford University, where he was president for two decades.
