West Virginia University: Symbol of Unity in a Sectionalized State

By Festus P. Summers and William T. Doherty Jr.

First published in 1982, West Virginia University: Symbol of Unity in a Sectionalize State details the history of WVU from its inception as the Agricultural College of West Virginia in 1867 to its expansion and development in the 1980s. This comprehensive history includes an index of people, places and events; photographs and illustrations; and in-depth descriptions of campuses, buildings, colleges, and academic and sports programs. As a joint effort between William T Doherty, Jr., a Professor Emeritus History at WVU, and Festus P. Summers, the first University Historian who passed away before this project was complete, this new edition once again grants access to the diverse and complex elements which shaped the institution.
