Administrative Note
On August 11, 1875, Virginia Tech's first Alumni Association was formed by the twelve members of the first graduating class. In 1891, the Association was reorganized, under a new constitution, and began publishing an Alumni Register. The Association was incorporated on June 23, 1924. In 1964, new bylaws were adopted and the Association became more closely linked with the University. At the same time, the title of Alumni Secretary was changed to Director of Alumni Affairs, then to Executive Director in 1972, and then to Executive Vice-President in 1980. In 1990, the Alumni Association became an official part of the University, associated with the Office of Alumni Relations. The Office for Alumni Relations merged with the offices of University Development and University Relations into the Advancement Division [RG 21] in July 2015.
Scope and Content
The Virginia Tech Alumni Associaiton Cards, RG 29e, contains cards and rosters about Virginia Tech alumni from 1875 thru 1970. Items include a variety of biographical data, such as names, graduation years, degree program, addresses, names of spouses and children, military service, and more. Series are based on format and arrangement, and individuals may be identified in one or more series.
Series I contains alumni cards arranged alphabetically by surname, Series II arranged chronologically by graduation year ( N.B. no cards exist for graduation year 1934), and Series III arranged by college and degree program.
Series IV: Assorted Alumni Cards and Forms contains a set of Alumni Registration Cards (possibly gathered from a specific event) that are not in any order and describe alumni from various graduation years and degree programs. There are also blank forms to collect alumni biographical data.

The rosters include each student's name, class (sophomore, senior, etc.), military rank (Colonel, Major, etc.), whether a person is part of a specific staff (Regimental Staff, Second Battalion Staff, etc.), dormitory or barracks and room number, degree program, ROTC unit, and phone number.
