Harvey Lee Price
Harvey Lee Price (1874-1951) was a faculty member from 1900 to 1945, head of the Horticulture Department from 1902 to 1908, and Dean of the School of Agriculture from 1908 to 1945. An easy-going, amiable man, Price served VPI for more than four decades after earning two degrees here. He moved quickly through the professorial ranks and into administration. Known for zealously protecting VPI's apple orchard, he also had a penchant for local history and geneology. He oversaw campus landscaping, was treasurer of the Athletic Council, and achieved fellow status in the American Association for the Advancement of Science.
