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

Controversial Sculpture
A controversial piece of sculpture sat in front of Muse Hall for several years. Some students liked it, some disliked it and it was eventually removed. 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
