VTG 1913 VIRGINIA POLYTECHNIC INSTITUTE YEARBOOK – “THE BUGLE”
Offered here is an original 1913 edition of The Bugle, the annual yearbook of Virginia Polytechnic Institute (VPI), now known as Virginia Tech. This incredible piece of school history is approximately 113 years old and features student portraits, cadet/military images, athletics, campus life, organizations, and period advertising from the early 20th century.
This edition comes from a fascinating era in VPI history when the school operated heavily under its military cadet tradition, making these early Bugle yearbooks highly desirable to Virginia Tech collectors, alumni, historians, and memorabilia enthusiasts.
