William Addison "Bill" Caldwell, nephew and namesake of the first student to enroll at Virginia Tech, died Nov. 12 at Richfield Nursing Center in Salem. He was 90 years old.
Caldwell, a native of Radford, spurred research into the first student’s life when he donated the Bible of his uncle, who was called "Add," to Special Collections. Later, he worked to get the university to name the second-floor lounge in Johnston Student Center after Add and commissioned his own nephew, a New York artist, to paint the watercolor portrait of Add that now hangs in the Caldwell lounge. The lounge was dedicated on March 19, 1993.
Bill Caldwell also donated a photograph of the first student as an adult and encouraged another relative to donate one of Add’s report cards to Special Collections. Additionally, he put a Virginia Tech writer who was researching Add’s life into contact with relatives who remembered the first student, leading to the discovery and donation of a letter written by Add.
The research revealed that then-16-year-old Add Caldwell walked with his older brother, Milton, as much as 38 miles from his home in the Sinking Creek community of Craig County to register at Virginia Tech, then called Virginia Agricultural and Mechanical College, on Oct. 1, 1872. Mic also registered but never graduated. Add spent four years at the school, earning a certificate in agriculture with the second graduating class in 1876. He worked as a schoolteacher, clerk, and salesman before his death in 1910. He was buried in the Caldwell family cemetery in Radford, where his family had moved after he left home.
On Oct. 1, 1997, Bill Caldwell was the university’s special guest at the ceremony to dedicate a state historical marker about his uncle. The event, held in Craig County, marked the 125th anniversary of the day his uncle registered at Virginia Tech.
Bill Caldwell was a Radford realtor and a founding partner in the Giesen-Caldwell Real Estate Agency. As executive secretary of the Chamber of Commerce, he was instrumental in bringing Inland Motors to Radford.
Funeral services were held on Nov. 16 at DeVilbiss Funeral Home in Radford. Interment followed in the Caldwell family cemetery.
