Biographical Note
William F. Drumeller, Jr. was born January 23, 1923 to William and Elizabeth Drumeller and died March 25, 2006. Studying as a civil engineer, Drumeller attended VPI as a cadet from 1942-1943 and 1946-1949, taking a leave of absence in 1943 to fight in WWII.
Scope and Content
The collection includes VPI publications, school papers/notes/notebooks, ephemera, and photographs of William F. Drumeller, a civil engineering student and cadet at VPI from 1942-1943 and 1946-1949. The majority of the collection consists of student notebooks and paper relating to math and engineering courses. Publications and ephemera were collected by him during his tenure as a student, and presumably, as an alumni.
Arrangement
The collection is arranged into two series: Series I: Student Work and Notebooks and Series II: Personal Papers. Series I includes notebooks, course work, and lectures notes, relating to engineering, math, and physics courses taken by Drumeller in the 1940s. Series II: Personal Papers includes alumni materials, photographs, VPI memorabilia, an engineering report for Norfolk & Western, and an ROTC manual.
