Roanoke College is a private liberal arts college in Salem, Virginia. It has approximately 2,000 students who represent approximately 40 states and 30 countries.[6] The college offers 35 majors, 57 minors and concentrations, and pre-professional programs. Roanoke awards bachelor's degrees in arts, science, and business administration and is one of 280 colleges with a chapter of the Phi Beta Kappa honor society. A boys' preparatory school was founded by Lutheran pastors David F. Bittle and Christopher C. Baughmann. Originally located in Augusta County near Staunton, the school was named Virginia Institute until chartered on January 30, 1845, as Virginia Collegiate Institute. In 1847, the institute moved to Salem which was developing into a center of commerce and transportation in the region; the school moved all of its possessions in a single covered wagon. The Virginia General Assembly granted a college charter on March 14, 1853 and approved the name Roanoke College, chosen in honor of the Roanoke Valley. Bittle then served as the college's first president. Roanoke was one of the few Southern colleges that remained open throughout the American Civil War. The student body was organized into a corps of cadets and fought with Confederate forces near Salem in December 1863. The students were outmatched and quickly forced to surrender, but the Union commander paroled them and allowed them to return to their studies. The college company was formally mustered into the Confederate Army, Virginia Reserves, on September 1, 1864, but the students did not see combat before the war ended. Roanoke enrolled its first international students in the late 19th century; the first Mexican student in 1876 and the first Japanese student in 1888. The first Korean to graduate from an American college or university, Surh Beung Kiu, graduated in 1898. Coeducation Roanoke became coeducational in 1930. A small number of non-degree-seeking women, mostly from Elizabeth College in Salem, were previously enrolled. Originally named Roanoke Women's College, Elizabeth was a sister Lutheran women's college destroyed by fire in 1921 and closed; the female students finished the 1921-22 academic year at Roanoke. Elizabethans are shown on page 70. Women [damsels of our fair Southland] are included in this 1921 The Roentgen Rays yearbook (Dixie's Own pages 132-135!).

Zustand: Fair. Envoi rapide Etat Correct Ancien livre de bibliothèque dos frotté pages ternies en bon état de lecture. in12. 1906. Broché. 304 pages. Hachette 1906. in-12 xi-301 pp un portrait en frontispice et une planche hors texte broché couv. lég. salie bon état -Né en 1831 M. Ch. Corbin fut nommé colonel en 1878 après une brillante carrière militaire. Des infirmités prématurées l'obligèrent à prendre sa retraite. Pendant vingt-six ans jusqu'en 1904 année de sa mort il suppléa par une grande activité intellectuelle à l'inaction où il se trouvait réduit. Ses amis sous le titre de Notes et souvenirs ont réuni quelques morceaux sortis de sa plume à différentes époques : des impressions de jeunesse et d'études des souvenirs de la guerre de Crimée une curieuse dissertation relative à Sedan. Si ces pièces n'apportent pas grand'chose de nouveau à notre connaissance historique (l'érudit n'y relèvera qu'un petit nombre d'anecdotes et d'impressions personnelles) leur recueil sera parcouru avec plaisir. Le colonel Corbin qui dessinait fort joliment (une reproduction dont le volume est illustré en fait foi) maniait la plume avec autant d'aisance que le crayon. Ses récits vifs colorés où se marient l'enthousiasme l'humour et l'observation impartiale témoignent largement de cette ardeur à l'action de cet entrain à vivre qui constituèrent incontestablement une des caractéristiques de la génération militaire qui s'épanouit dans la belle période du second Empire.- (André Lichtenberger Revue Historique 1907) ? -Corbin fut aide de camp du maréchal Niel en Italie en 1859. Il était présent à Magenta et à Solférino. En 1870 il rejoint l'Etat-major de Mac-Mahon. Il fut blessé à Froeschwiller avant d'assister à la tragique journée de Sedan. Son témoignage couvre en détail le conflit et les semaines qui précèdèrent la fin du régime impérial.- (Bourachot 103). Fair.
