Herbert Lee Boatwright (September 12, 1862–January 23, 1935) was a dedicated and influential citizen who gave freely of his time and means for the improvement of Danville and its institutions. He, along with R. L. Dibrell and A. B. Carrington, composed the successful business team which was the guiding force behind the growth of Dibrell Brothers, Inc. Their intelligent leadership and judgment carried the company through many years of progress and prosperity.

H. Lee Boatwright, as he was known as an adult, was born in Buckingham County, the son of Dr. John Guerrant Boatwright, native of Buckingham County, and Pattie Pendleton Phillips Boatwright, native of Albemarle County. The lineage of the Boatwright family traces back to a Welsh origin. The original American representatives settled in Virginia in the Colonial period.

Dr. John G. Boatwright, after graduating from the University of Virginia became one of the leading physicians and surgeons in the City of Danville. At the outbreak of the Civil War, he entered the Confederate Army as a surgeon serving throughout the war as a major. After the war, he returned to Danville where he engaged in a successful medical practice from 1865 until his death in 1875 when Herbert Lee, his fourth child of six children, was only twelve years old.

Herbert Lee Boatwright Gravestone H. Lee Boatwright received his early education in Danville but was forced to abandon his education after his father’s death and go to work in George S. Hughes’s local tobacco factory. During five years in the factory, he acquired an extensive knowledge of the tobacco trade while becoming an excellent judge of leaf tobacco. Careers could be built on such discriminating knowledge in late-nineteenth-century Danville. The development of bright tobacco before the Civil War and the proliferation of the innovative, loose-leaf sales system after the war combined to make Danville the leading tobacco market in the United States between the 1870s and World War I. Boatwright made good use of his discerning eye.

By 1879, at the age of seventeen, he had become the manager of Ferrell and Flinn, leaf tobacco brokers. Later, he was a member of the firm of Schoolfield & Boatwright, large tobacco dealers, and when this firm went out of business at the death of Mr. Schoolfield, he established his own business under the name of H. L Boatwright & Company. In 1904 he joined Dibrell Brothers becoming its secretary-treasurer after it reorganized in 1905. Being an instinctive judge of tobacco, he was placed in charge of all leaf purchases, determining what to buy, when to buy it, and what price to pay.

Herbert Lee Boatwright Gravestone Throughout his life, Boatwright was known for his uncanny tobacco sense, making him an important part of the famous triumvirate of Dibrell Brothers, Inc., consisting of Dibrell, Carrington and Boatwright, which guided the firm for many years. At the Dibrell’s death in 1920, Boatwright was promoted to vice-president, the position he served in until his death.

Boatwright’s tobacco and business acumen translated into positions of increasing civic responsibility. He served as president of the Danville Tobacco Association from 1903 to 1904, was a founder of the local Young Men’s Christian Association in 1907 prior to its opening to the public on Thanksgiving Day 1908, and led in the formation of the Commercial Association, which later became the Danville Chamber of Commerce.

He served as a trustee of the Roanoke College for Young Women (later Averett College) and the University of Richmond. A lifelong Democrat, he guided the local party through the political crisis of 1928 when party members divided over the presidential candidacy of Alfred E. Smith, whose opposition to Prohibition and membership in the Catholic Church alienated many Virginia Democrats. Boatwright chaired the city Democratic committee and supported Smith. He continued to be active in state and local politics, being closely associated with his friend, Rorer A. James.

Boatwright was initiated into Roman Eagle Masonic Lodge No. 122 on October 28, 1895, and was elected Master of the Lodge on December 9, 1907. Elected a trustee of the Lodge in December 1927, he served until his death while continuing to be active in other Masonic bodies including the Shriners.

Boatwright and his wife were both zealous members of First Baptist Church where he was chairman of its deacons for many years.

Boatwright married Mary Elizabeth Vaughan (November 29, 1868–November 7, 1955) of Halifax County, daughter of Edgar Vaughan, on December 18, 1889. They had three sons and three daughters: Edgar Vaughan, John Guerrant, Alice Pendleton who married a Williamson and lived in New York, Florence who married a Sanford and lived in Evanston, Illinois, Marion who married a Dudley and lived in Richmond and Herbert Lee, Jr. who lived in Baltimore, Maryland. The Boatwright home, at 904 Main Street was where Mrs. Boatwright lived until her death. John Guerrant Boatwright (August 21, 1892–June 4, 1983) married Mary Archer Glass, daughter of Senator Carter Glass and Aurelia McDearman Caldwell, who lived at Dan’s Hill and retired from Dibrell Brothers. His daughter, Elizabeth (Betty) married Dr. Glenn B. Updike, Jr. and inherited Dan’s Hill.

Herbert Lee Boatwright died of heart complications following an influenza attack and was buried in Greenhill Cemetery as were many of his family. The headline of his obituary reads, “Throng Attends Mr. Boatwright’s Funeral Service,” and despite a request by the family that no flowers be sent, more than a hundred floral tributes were laid upon his grave. Honorary pall bearers totaled over eighty five and included many prominent Danville citizens. Boatwright left an estate estimated at $600,000 to his widow and children.

There are two streets in Danville which bear the Boatwright name, Boatwright Avenue which runs southeast from 745 Patton Street to Loyal Street and in 2005 contained six businesses, and Boatwright Street, a short street which runs south from 1234 Stokes Street to a dead end at the Norfolk-Southern Railroad tracks and in 2005 contained only one dwelling.

Notes for FREDERIC WILLIAM BOATWRIGHT:

Frederic William Boatwright

Frederic William Boatwright was 27 years old when he was elected President of Richmond College in 1895. For the next 51 years he served as President of Richmond College and the University of Richmond, one of the longest college presidencies in the history of American higher education. He retired as President in 1946, to become the University's first Chancellor, a post he held until his death in 1951. Boatwright was associated successively with Richmond College and the University of Richmond for sixty-eight years as student, professor, president, and chancellor. He is buried in Hollywood Cemetery, Richmond, Virginia.

Boatwright was born in White Sulphur Springs, West Virginia, on January 28, 1868, to the Reverend Reuben Baker Boatwright and Maria Elizabeth Woodruff Boatwright. Reverend Boatwright was the grandson of a Revolutionary War soldier and an alumnus of Richmond College. Frederic W. Boatwright entered Richmond College in 1883 at the young age of 15, and graduated in 1888, with the Master of Arts degree. He continued his graduate studies in French and German at the Universities of Halle and The Sorbonne, and the University of Leipzig.



Three Generations of Boatwrights: Reuben Baker Boatwright, son Frederic William 
Boatwright and Grandson, Frederic Leroy Boatwright Dr. Boatwright was considered a man of vision, of great business acumen, and almost infallible judgment. He was a great teacher, a sound scholar, an able administrator, and a Southern leader of wide influence. He was elected President of Richmond College the year following a great national financial panic. The institution was poverty-stricken and its future uncertain. There were nine professors, one hundred and eighty-three students, the annual income was less than $30,000, the total resources of the school were less than $500,000, and the campus contained thirteen acres. Within three years, he had balanced the budget and raised funds for a new science building. At the time of his retirement as President in 1946, the University of Richmond had expanded to a new campus of over 300 acres, assets of more than $7,000,000, annual income of $650,000, a faculty of more than a hundred, and a student body of nearly four thousand students. Boatwright had been recognized with honorary doctorates from Mercer University, Georgetown University, Baylor University, and the Medical College of Virginia. He had also served on the executive board of the Association of American Colleges and President of the Baptist General Association of Virginia for three successive terms. In 1955, the Frederic William Boatwright Memorial Library was officially dedicated and opened on the University of Richmond campus as a memorial and testimony to his great service to the institution.

While a conservative man in temperment, Boatwright was a courageous exponent of academic freedom. "We must encourage our teachers and students to think," he said, "and we should not be surprised when they do not think alike." That position he steadfastly defended against all encroachments.

Writing about Dr. Boatwright, Woodford B. Hackley, former Director of the Virginia Baptist Historical Society, indicates "more than anything else, Boatwright was a builder - a builder of character and a builder of the University of Richmond."

Univerisity of Richmond Educator and University President; Professor of modern languages at Richmond College from 1890 to 1895; He became President of Richmond College in 1895, at age 26, and served until 1946, a total of 51 years; He served as Chancellor of the school, which had become the University of Richmond in 1920, from 1946 until his death in 1951; The main library of the University of Richmond was dedicated as the Boatwright Memorial Library in 1955.

The University of Richmond traces its roots to 1830 at a private academy called Dunlora, which was operated by the Reverend Edward Baptist under the sponsorship of the Virginia Baptist Education Society. In 1832, the Virginia Baptist Seminary was formed with the Reverend Robert Ryland as principal and the only teacher. The seminary was located on a farm called Spring Farm near the present day Bryan Park. In 1834, the seminary was moved to what was then a western suburb of Richmond, one-half mile from the city limits. The seminary, located near the present intersection of Grace and Lombardy Streets, and the school remained at this site for eighty years. In 1840, Richmond College was chartered as a liberal arts and sciences college for men by the Virginia General Assembly.

Two other events provided significant impact in shaping the existing physical campus: the move to the present site and the establishment of the co-ordinate system. The origins of the present campus date to 1910, when the Richmond College Board of Trustees purchased approximately 290 acres including Westhampton Lake. Ben Green’s old mill pond, now known as Westhampton Lake, stretched 1,326 feet in length and divided the property into two parts. The lake covered approximately fourteen acres and predated the Civil War. Classes at Richmond College began in September, 1914. Westhampton College, a college of liberal arts and sciences for women, was also established in 1914 on the same property. George White McDaniel, chairman of the Board of Trustees committee to secure the deed to the property, noted that the property was “sufficiently large for all future purposes” of the institution. The property was outside the City of Richmond in Henrico County. Twenty-six years later Richmond College was once again within the city limits as the City of Richmond annexed a considerable portion of Henrico County.

Univerisity of Richmond President Frederic William Boatwright (1895-1946 term of office) envisioned a “Collegiate Gothic” style of architecture for the new University campus. In 1910, the architectural firm of Cram, Goodhue and Ferguson was commissioned by the Board of Trustees to draft plans for the future College. Ralph Adams Cram, eminent institutional architect, was responsible for establishing the enduring style on the University of Richmond campus. The Board of Trustees also engaged the service of a landscape architect Warren H. Manning, a former apprentice to Frederick Law Olmstead. Manning was responsible for designing and locating roads, supervising the cutting and planting of trees, locating walkways, and landscaping the terrain so that it would drain appropriately. President Boatwright worked with Cram and Manning to formulate a master plan which considered fifty years of growth for the institution on its present site. The master plan included provision for a college of medicine, a law school building, an observatory, a school of business administration, an engineering school, a gymnasium and swimming pool, a major library and homes for professors.

Construction of new buildings designed by Cram, Goodhue and Ferguson began in 1911. The first building constructed on the new site was Ryland Hall, which housed administrative offices, lecture rooms, the art hall, meeting space and a library with 40,000 volumes. It was followed by North Court. Two residence halls for men were also constructed: Thomas Hall and Jeter Hall. Cram is credited with remarking that the collegiate Gothic style symbolizes “eternal values” and “exalted ideals of education and religion.” Cram also boasted that there “wasn’t another site in the whole United States as suitable for a college, except for the site at West Point.”

During World War II, the University of Richmond supported the national effort to conserve food by establishing victory gardens on campus. In the spring of 1943, an area on the Westhampton campus near River Road was cultivated with plots assigned to faculty who wished to make a garden. The University of Richmond expanded over time as the following schools of study were established:

     1870 The T.C. Williams School of Law
     1921 The Graduate School of Arts and Sciences
     1949 The E. Claiborne Robins School of Business
     1962 University College (The School of Continuing Studies)
     1976 The Richard S. Reynolds Graduate School of Business
     1992 The Jepson School of Leadership Studies
Perhaps, the most significant event in the recent history of the University occurred in 1969, when alumnus E. Claiborne Robins gave the University a gift valued at $50 million. The University moved forward to raise a matching amount of funds. This led to the construction of new facilities and the renovation of existing campus buildings.

Univerisity of Richmond Over the years, the University of Richmond has been characterized by its rolling terrain, commodious open space and lush tree canopy. This landscape was the primary determinant in the initial master plan organization and has continued to dictate the development patterns as growth has occurred. This methodology has been continuously embraced by those in leadership positions within the University and has clearly elevated theUniversity of Richmond to a top position nationally in the aesthetic quality of its setting. In 1999, the University of Richmond was recognized by the Princeton Review as the most beautiful campus in the United States.

The architecture itself, through strict adherence to the original vision, continues to differentiate and elevate the campus above even those universities that profess to have the finest master plans and architecture.

Univerisity of Richmond

For more than eighty years there has been a remarkable fidelity to the vision held by past generations of trustees.

That constancy has resulted in the extraordinary physical and academic environment that now exists on the university grounds. One fundamental objective of this planning process has been to preserve the fruits of that constancy of vision, while accomodating the facilities needed to fulfill the academic mission.

The Frederic W. Boatwright Society was founded in 1972 as a tribute to Dr. Frederic W. Boatwright, who served as president of the University of Richmond from 1895-1946. With remarkable foresight and dynamic leadership during his fifty-one years as President, Dr. Boatwright charted firm directions for the superb, modern University that we know today. His vision and direction led, in 1914, to the relocation of the campus to its current location. At the society's annual meeting each spring, members of the class who are celebrating their 50th year since graduation are received as members of the society. Friendship, leadership, service, and continuing personal support characterize the atmosphere and the activities of this society.

It’s all relative for University of Richmond’s Robins Stadium

By John O'Connor
Published: January 26, 2010

More than a century later, Dr. Boatwright's vision is becoming reality, with the help of a descendent.

The University of Richmond in September will open Robins Stadium, a $25 million on-campus football facility being built by Hourigan Construction. The senior superintendent of the project is Bob Boatwright, whose family tree includes the man who was Richmond's esteemed president 1895-1946.

Robins Stadium, with a seating capacity of 8,700, is on Boatwright Drive, and UR's library also is named after Boatwright, evidence of Frederic W. Boatwright's impact on the school. Richmond College relocated from downtown to its current location in 1914. Boatwright guided the move and recommended the "Collegiate Gothic" architectural style.

"He built a university, and not many men can say that," said Fletcher Stiers, a Richmond graduate (Class of 1948) who has researched Boatwright and lectured on his tenure at the school. Boatwright, who graduated from Richmond College in 1888, became president at 27. At that time, Richmond College had nine professors and 183 students.

"He saw the development of the school from that to a university," Stiers said. "He raised the funds and made a lot of wise decisions."

Now, Bob Boatwright, is responsible for construction operations at Robins Stadium, in coordination with university architects and engineers.

"I kind of like the Boatwright name staying connected to the university," Boatwright said. "I wasn't aware, to tell you the truth, that Dr. Frederic Boatwright was [related] until we got to looking into building the stadium. When we researched the bloodline, I was very much surprised that he was kin to me.

"In fact, I talked to my 92-year-old aunt first about it. She told me 'Absolutely, we're kin to the educators.' It was a pleasant surprise."

Bob Boatwright did not at tend college, but his daughter and son-in-law graduated from UR. Boatwright considers himself a Spiders fan. His connections to the school were not factors in the selection of Hourigan Construction as builder of Robins Stadium, according to Mark Hourigan, the company's president and owner.

"Bob helped us get the job, but not because he is a Boatwright," said Hourigan. "Bob is a phenomenal superintendent, without a doubt, one of the preeminent superintendents in the state."

The Spiders have played home football games off-campus since 1929. The move from on-campus football games to city facilities was made to accommodate larger crowds and reluctantly approved by Dr. Frederic W. Boatwright.

"The movement, now becoming so general, to build city stadiums is all right for local sports organizations and for professional teams, but it is wholly bad for the colleges," the former school president said in response to a Richmond newspaper survey in the 1920s.

Frederic W. Boatwright lived at 1 Bostwick Lane on campus. That house became the home of UR Athletic Director Chuck Boone and Jim Miller, Boone's successor in 2000. UR's decision to pursue the expansion of the field adjacent to the Robins Center for the purpose of converting it into a football facility (and for other sports) was made in 2003.

Miller said the snow and rain this winter have slowed construction, but he remains confident that the stadium will be completed this summer.

"A stadium is a different animal compared to an office building, or anything with four sides and a roof," Bob Boatwright said. "With a stadium being open, it makes it a little more challenging with the weather.

"But we are ahead of schedule and planning on staying ahead of schedule."

Notes for PATRICIA TAYLOR BOATWRIGHT:

Cole-Boatwright

The ancestral home of the Boatwrights, "Social Hall," Va., was the scene of a beautiful wedding at noon today, when Mr. and Mrs. W. L. Boatwright gave in marriage their daughter, Pattie Taylor, to Alfonzo Howard Cole, of Chilhowie, Va.

The entire lower floor was canvased in white and handsomely decorated with ferns, pink and white chrysanthemums and innumberable candeliabra with pink shades.

In the parlor an improvised altar was erected, before which the ceremony was performed by the Rev. R. W. Bagwell, the pastor of the bride, assisted by Dr. Kincannon, of Mississippi, a cousin of the groom.

Just before the bridal party entered to the strains of Lohengrin's Wedding March, rendered by Miss Marie Payne, of Columbia, Miss Helen Knox Spain, of New York, sang the bridal chorus.

First came H. L. Boatwright and R. B. Huggins, followed by Miss Mary Catlin, who entered alone, charmingly gowned in white net over pink taffeta, carrying an armful of pink chrysanthemums. Next came W. P. Boatwright and Wistar Anderson.

Virginia Seal of Richmond, who bore the wedding ring in a calla iliy, was very daintuly dressed in French mull and valenciennes lace, with pink sash and slippers.

The bride entered with her sister, Miss Alice Virginia Boatwright, and was met at the alter by the bridegroom and his best man, Dr. J. M. Lewis, of Arvonia. The maid of honor was prettily gowned in a white lace robe over white taffeta and carried an armful of white chrysanthemums.

The bride wore a handsome going-away gown of brown broad cloth with hat and gloves to match, and carried a shower bouquet of bride's roses.

After the rehersal on Monday night a handsome reception was tendered the bridal party at "Social Hall."

Mr. and Mrs. Cole left immediately after the ceremony for an extended tour through the North, and will be at home after Dec. 15.

The guests from a distance were Dr. and Mrs. J. H. Mabry, of Newport News; Mrs. N. E. Seal and her daughter, little Miss Martha Virginia Seal, of Richmond; Miss Mary Catlin, of Richmond; Miss Helen Knox Spain, of New York; Miss Marie Payne, of Columbia; Dr. Kincanon, of Mississippi; Dr. R.
