While the title denotes that the work contains short biographies, that is an overstatement. Readers, however, shall find mention of over 10,000 names, along with brief facts about each person, up to the time of publication (1878). This catalogue was apparently finished in 1875, at the end of the first half century of the existence of the University. But when at that time the manuscript was placed in the hands of Captain Joseph Van Holt Nash, who had undertaken to publish the work, it was found to be far from complete. Captain Nash thereupon with true devotion set to work over the next three years, and with indomitable perseverance, perfected the work, spending money, time and labor without stint in the difficult task. Also includes lists of all Rectors, Board of Visitors, Chairmen, Faculty, Professors, Instructors, Librarians, Chaplains, etc. Examples: Dodson, Daniel born 1820 Petersburg (attended) 1836 Capt.
