Modlin Retires After 33 Years at Foot-Growing University
Dr. George M. Modlin announces retirement after 33 years with the university, 25 as president. He will serve as chancellor until Dr. Bruce Heilman takes over in September, then read travel and books. Modlin will join the Virginia Judicial Inquiry and Review Board as public member. He grew up in Elizabeth City, N C, studied at Wake Forest and Princeton, and began administrative work in Richmond in 1926 before becoming president in 1946. He recalls talking with students daily and notes three eras of postwar, 1950s, and recent student life.
