COMMUTER GUIDE COMMUTER GUIDE

Commuter Students:

An Integral Part of the Liberty Family

Dear Commuter Students,

Your decision to move off campus

marks a major milestone in

your college experience and in

your life. For many of you, this

is the first time you’ve faced

the responsibility of living on

your own. As your Chancellor,

I wish you the best during this

transition and hope this will be

a positive growing experience for you.

I would also like to remind you that, even

though you’re not living on campus, you

still represent Liberty University in the

community. I would like to encourage

you to be good neighbors to those

around you – above reproach and

representing Christ in all that you do.

No matter where you call “home,” you are

still an integral part of the Liberty family.

The faculty, staff and administration

want to see you succeed and become

the person God has intended you to

be. Please contact the Commuter

Affairs office at (434) 592-3067 with any

questions or concerns you may have.

I hope this year at Liberty

will be your best ever!

Sincerely,

Jerry L. Falwell, Jr.

Chancellor, Liberty University

Welcome to the Office of Commuter AffairsDear Champions for Christ,

Welcome to one of the most exciting

points of your ambassadorship for

Christ at Liberty University. For

many of you, being a commuter is a

reminder that you are one step closer

to finishing your degree. However,

God has truly placed you in a unique

position by deploying you into our

local community. You have an amazing

ministry locally until you graduate!

It is our hope that the

information contained in this

guide will be a help to you

in that journey. Our office

continues our advocacy for

you in providing assistance

regarding parking, academic

access, finding a place to

live, spiritual life, connecting

to others, finding a church,

confidential counseling

referrals, or helping you

find things to do in the

local community. Much

of this information will be

found on our website

www.liberty.edu/commuter.

We would love to hear from you and

in the rare chance that we may not

be able to assist you, we probably

know someone who can.

May the Lord bless you richly in this

new phase of your Liberty journey.

In Christ,

Larry Provost

Director of Commuter Affairs

Do Your Homework Before You Sign a Lease

1. Inspect the Property

Talk to current tenants and other

people who know the neighborhood.

Drive by the neighborhood at night.

Research crime statistics for the area.

Lynchburg Police Department

Cindy Kozerow, Crime Prevention

Specialist (434) 455-6145

2. Ask Questions, Negotiate, and Understand the Terms of the Lease

It is perfectly acceptable to ask the

landlord about anything you don’t

understand and also to negotiate the

terms of the lease. Make sure the lease

protects your interests, not just the

landlord’s. If changes are made, make

sure they are included on all copies of

the lease with all party’s signatures.

Every Lease Should Clearly State:

� NAMES OF TENANTS

AND LANDLORD

� ADDRESS OF RENTAL UNIT

� RULES AND REGULATIONS

� AMOUNT OF RENT/PER MONTH

� DATE RENT IS DUE

� SECURITY DEPOSIT DETAILS

� RIGHT OF ENTRY

� RIGHT TO SUBLEASE

� CONDITION OF UNIT

� FURNITURE PROVIDED

AND INVENTORY

� LIST OF NEEDED REPAIRS

� RESPONSIBILITY FOR REPAIRS

3. Consider Signing Separate Written Leases

When sharing an apartment, house, or

room with others try to get separate

written leases. Joint and oral leases are

legal in Virginia but more often than not

can prove to cause unwanted headaches.

KEEP A COPY FOR YOURSELF!

4. SUBLEASING REQUIRES WRITTEN CONSENT OF LANDLORD

CAUTION: If the person you find to

sublease your dwelling fails to pay rent,

it is ultimately YOUR responsibility.

LYNCHBURG GUIDE LYNCHBURG GUIDE

Welcome to Lynchburg — 25 City Facts1. Founding Father

Lynchburg was named for its founder,

John Lynch, who at the age of 17 started

a ferry service across the James River

in 1757. He was also responsible for

Lynchburg’s first bridge across the river,

which replaced the ferry in 1812.

2. 45 Acres

In October 1786, the Virginia General

Assembly granted John Lynch a charter for a

town. The 45 acres granted for the town were

his own land. Lynchburg was incorporated

as a town in 1805 and as a city in 1852.

3. Last Tribe

The Monacan Indian tribe lived in the

Lynchburg area until well into the 17th century.

Their chief village, Rassawek, stood near

where the James and Rivanna Rivers meet in

Fluvanna County. They were driven westward

or killed by the Powhatans and Iroquois.

Descendants of the Monacan now live in the

Bear Mountain area of Amherst County.

4. Quaker Meeting House

The Society of Friends, or Quakers, was the

first religious group to settle in Lynchburg.

Although Charles Lynch, Sr. was a Roman

Catholic, his wife, Sarah and daughter

were instrumental in founding the South

River Meeting House of the Society of

Friends, the city’s first house of worship.

Although there were many Quakers among

early settlers in Lynchburg, the numbers

decreased as agriculture and industry in

the South became increasingly dependent

upon slavery, which the Friends opposed.

The Meeting House, located on Fort

Avenue, was restored and is now part of

Quaker Memorial Presbyterian Church.

5. Miller-Claytor House

Built in 1791 by John Miller, a tavern owner

and later owned by Samuel Claytor, the

Miller-Claytor House was the fourth house

to be constructed in Lynchburg. It was

moved from the corner of 8th Street and

Church Street to Riverside Park and restored

in 1936 as a Sesquicentennial project

of the Lynchburg Historical Society.

6. Seven Hills

College Hill, Garland Hill, Daniel’s Hill,

Federal Hill, Diamond Hill, White Rock

Hill, and Franklin Hill were the original

“Seven Hills” of the City of Lynchburg.

7. Miller Park

Samuel Miller, born on June 30, 1792 in

Albemarle County, made a fortune buying and

selling stocks and bonds. Upon his death, he

left money to establish the Miller Home for Girls

in Lynchburg and the Miller Home for Boys in

Albemarle County. He also left Miller Park to the

City of Lynchburg for the benefit of all citizens.

8. Point of Honor

Built around 1815 by Dr. George Cabell, Sr.,

an eminent physician whose most famous

patient was Patrick Henry. Point of Honor

was the home of important Lynchburg area

families, including the Daniels, Paynes,

and Owens. Although not documented,

it is possible that at some time Point of

Honor may have been used as a dueling

ground. However, since dueling was

prohibited, it is speculated it occurred

on the property in Campbell County to

escape the Lynchburg magistrate.

9. Nichols Tavern

As early as 1815, the Federal style structure

known today as the Joseph Nichols Tavern

was a thriving “ordinary” or inn, near an

extension of the Old Ferry Road, now the

corner of Fifth and Madison Streets. It is

probable that Thomas Jefferson lodged

at the Tavern on his way from Monticello

to Poplar Forest. In the 1840s the site

became known as the Western Hotel and

has since served as a hotel, a brothel and

a rooming house. It was restored in 1975.

10. Love Apple

According to local legend, Thomas

Jefferson, who was visiting the owners

of the Miller-Claytor House on his

way to his Poplar Forest home, took

a bite of the “poisonous love apple.”

Supposedly, this was the first time

anyone had eaten this fruit, which we

now call the tomato, in Virginia.

11. “First Citizen”

Max Guggenheimer, Jr., born in Germany in

1856, was a leader in Lynchburg’s business

community. Guggenheimer joined his

brother-in-law, Nathaniel Guggenheimer, in

running the Guggenheimer store. Soon after

his brother-in-law’s death, Guggenheimer

closed the retail business and began

the first wholesale distributing house for

shoes and boots in Lynchburg, called Witt

and Watkins. Guggenheimer served as

director of the Lynchburg National Bank and

organized and served as the first president

of the Lynchburg Cotton Mill. In the last

quarter of the 19th century and the early

20th century, he enjoyed the prestige of

being called “Lynchburg’s First Citizen.”

12. Packet Boat

Packet Boat “Marshall,” located in Riverside

Park, carried General Thomas J. “Stonewall”

Jackson’s body to Lexington after he was

mistakenly killed by his own sentry. On May

10, 1863, the Orange and Alexandria Railroad

brought Jackson’s remains to Lynchburg

and made the transfer to the packet boat

with the appropriate ceremonies.

13. Lynchburg as State Capitol

From April 6 to 10, 1865, Lynchburg served

as the capital of Virginia. Under Governor

William Smith, the executive and legislative

branches of the Commonwealth moved to

Lynchburg for the few days between the fall

of Richmond and the fall of the Confederacy.

14. School Days

On July 11, 1870, a system of public schools

was established by law in Virginia. The

Lynchburg public school system officially

began September 22, 1870. Abram Frederick

Biggers, great-grandson of John Lynch, was

Lynchburg’s first superintendent of schools.

15. First on the Air

In October 1868, Dr. Malcolm (Mahlon) Loomis,

a part-time resident of Lynchburg, used a

vertical antenna, a high-frequency detector

and a sparkgap transmitter to successfully

send electro-magnetic waves through the

atmosphere, thus inventing radio, six years

before the birth of the “father of radio,”

Guglielmo Marconi. Despite records that

indicate Loomis invented the radio, he lacked

the necessary funds to perfect his equipment

and gain recognition for his invention.

LYNCHBURG GUIDE

16. Famous Undertaker

In 1881, Lynchburg native William D. Diuguid

invented the church truck by putting wheels

on a catafalque, which had long been used

as a stationary resting place for caskets. The

church truck is still used by funeral directors

nationwide. W. D. Diuguid, Inc., was founded

in 1817 and is the second oldest funeral home

in continuing service in the United States.

17. Centennial

Lynchburg’s Centennial celebration was held

October 12 - 15, 1886, in conjunction with the

Agricultural Fair. Festivities included a parade,

fireworks, a band and horse races. John Warwick

Daniel gave the opening address. On November

29, a centennial oak tree was planted in Miller Park.

The tree is still standing today. In 1886 Lynchburg

was the forth largest city in Virginia; there were

49 miles of street, five of which were paved.

18. Famous Products

In 1889, Dr. Charles Brown Fleet, a young

pharmacist who moved to Lynchburg in 1869,

invented and began selling his Fleet’s Chap-Stick

lip balm. In 1893, Fleet developed the formula for

phospho-soda, the basic ingredient for the Fleet

Enema. Organized as C.B. Fleet Co., Inc., in 1916,

the company developed the first disposable, small

volume enema in 1953 and the first disposable

douche product, Summer’s Eve, in 1973.

19. Making the Grade

Randolph-Macon Woman’s College (currently

named Randolph College and is now co-ed)

was the first women’s college in the South to

be accredited and to receive a Phi Beta Kappa

chapter. Founded in 1893 by Dr. William Waugh

Smith, the college represented the South as

one of the sixteen colleges for women in the

United States classified “Division A” by the

United States Bureau of Education in the early

1900s. It was ranked with Vassar and Smith.

20. First Hospital

In 1895, Dr. A. W. Terrell and Dr. Samuel Lile

established the first hospital on record in

Lynchburg—St. Andrew’s Home, a private hospital

at 917 Court Street. Terrell was the physician for

Randolph-Macon Woman’s College for 49 years.

21. If The Shoe Fits ...

In 1888, John Craddock, A. P. Craddock, T.M.

Terry and Max Guggenheimer formed Craddock-

Terry and Company as a wholesale distributing

house for “boots, shoes and rubbers.” The

firm later became The Craddock-Terry Shoe

Corporation and in 1901 built the first shoe

factory south of the Mason-Dixon Line.

22. Iron Man

In the late 1800’s and early 1900’s, H.E. McWane

turned two companies, known as Lynchburg

Foundry Company and Griffin Pipe Products, into

prosperous enterprises whose principal activity

was manufacturing cast-iron pipe and fittings.

Lynchburg was the first southern city in which

cast-iron pipe was made, and in 1936 pipe and

fittings became one of Lynchburg’s principal

industries, employing some 600 persons in the

city. Today, Griffin Pipe Products still manufactures

cast-iron pipe for municipal water systems.

23. Black Poet

Anne Spencer, a black poet born February 8,

1882 in Henry County, is the only Virginian whose

works are included in the Norton Anthology

of Modern American and British Poetry.

After settling in Lynchburg, she established

Lynchburg’s first lending library for blacks and

helped found the local chapter of the NAACP.

Frequent visitors to the Spencer home at 1313

Pierce Street included Dr. Martin Luther King,

Jr., Langston Hughes, Dr. George Washington

Carver, W.E.B. DuBois and Jackie Robinson.

24. 139 Steps

Extending from Church Street to Court Street

with 139 steps, Monument Terrace was built in

1924 as a memorial to citizens who fought and

died in American wars. At that time the original

basin, located at the base of the monument

steps, was replaced with a listing of Lynchburg’s

WWI dead and Charles Keck’s representative

of a doughboy, “The Listening Post.”

25. Lynchburg College

Virginia Christian College, later renamed Lynchburg

College, was the first college to offer coeducation

facilities in Central Virginia. The College began

its first session in 1903 with 155 pupils. Although

founder Dr. Josephus Hopwood believed in

coeducation, men and women were not allowed to

sit together at either classes or meals, unless they

were brothers and sisters. Virginia Christian College

was changed to Lynchburg College in 1919.
