Frederick Dewey Durham
Frederick Dewey Durham (1899-1998) was a student from 1917 to 1920 and from 1921 to 1922. Six years after graduating from VPI, Durham bought the C. Lee Cook company, which merged with three other companies in 1955 to form Dover Corp., today a Fortune 500 manufacturing company. As president and chairman for 16 years, he instituted a decentralized management strategy still followed at Dover. A generous benefactor and recipient of the Engineering Distinguished Alumnus award, he credited VPI for much of his success.
