- Abstract
- Blanche Daniel was a Radford graduate who later became a member of the Radford faculty and administration. She was Director of the McGuffey Training School from 1930-1962, and also served as Assistant Dean of Women. In addition, she also served as counselor, college coordinator between the Dean's Office and dining hall and post office, handled transfer students and alumnae, was the freshman class advisor, and faculty advisor to Alpha Sigma Tau. This collection contains her personal collection of over 400 postcards dating approximately 1940-1975, diaries she kept while attending Columbia University, newspaper clippings documenting Radford city history and wedding announcements, and correspondence and documents related to the Belle Heth School reunion in 1933, photographs, programs for campus plays and concerts, invitations to campus social events, and many other things that give a glimpse of both official and personal life at Radford College.
