Commuter Students:
An Integral Part of the Liberty Family
Dear Commuter Students,
Your decision to move off campus
marks a major milestone in
your college experience and in
your life. For many of you, this
is the first time you’ve faced
the responsibility of living on
your own. As your Chancellor,
I wish you the best during this
transition and hope this will be
a positive growing experience for you.
I would also like to remind you that, even
though you’re not living on campus, you
still represent Liberty University in the
community. I would like to encourage
you to be good neighbors to those
around you – above reproach and
representing Christ in all that you do.
No matter where you call “home,” you are
still an integral part of the Liberty family.
The faculty, staff and administration
want to see you succeed and become
the person God has intended you to
be. Please contact the Commuter
Affairs office at (434) 592-3067 with any
questions or concerns you may have.
I hope this year at Liberty
will be your best ever!
Sincerely,
Jerry L. Falwell, Jr.
Chancellor, Liberty University
Welcome to the Office of Commuter AffairsDear Champions for Christ,
Welcome to one of the most exciting
points of your ambassadorship for
Christ at Liberty University. For
many of you, being a commuter is a
reminder that you are one step closer
to finishing your degree. However,
God has truly placed you in a unique
position by deploying you into our
local community. You have an amazing
ministry locally until you graduate!
It is our hope that the
information contained in this
guide will be a help to you
in that journey. Our office
continues our advocacy for
you in providing assistance
regarding parking, academic
access, finding a place to
live, spiritual life, connecting
to others, finding a church,
confidential counseling
referrals, or helping you
find things to do in the
local community. Much
of this information will be
found on our website
www.liberty.edu/commuter.
We would love to hear from you and
in the rare chance that we may not
be able to assist you, we probably
know someone who can.
May the Lord bless you richly in this
new phase of your Liberty journey.
In Christ,
Larry Provost
Director of Commuter Affairs

Do Your Homework Before You Sign a Lease
1. Inspect the Property
Talk to current tenants and other
people who know the neighborhood.
Drive by the neighborhood at night.
Research crime statistics for the area.
Lynchburg Police Department
Cindy Kozerow, Crime Prevention
Specialist (434) 455-6145
2. Ask Questions, Negotiate, and Understand the Terms of the Lease
It is perfectly acceptable to ask the
landlord about anything you don’t
understand and also to negotiate the
terms of the lease. Make sure the lease
protects your interests, not just the
landlord’s. If changes are made, make
sure they are included on all copies of
the lease with all party’s signatures.
Every Lease Should Clearly State:
� NAMES OF TENANTS
AND LANDLORD
� ADDRESS OF RENTAL UNIT
� RULES AND REGULATIONS
� AMOUNT OF RENT/PER MONTH
� DATE RENT IS DUE
� SECURITY DEPOSIT DETAILS
� RIGHT OF ENTRY
� RIGHT TO SUBLEASE
� CONDITION OF UNIT
� FURNITURE PROVIDED
AND INVENTORY
� LIST OF NEEDED REPAIRS
� RESPONSIBILITY FOR REPAIRS
3. Consider Signing Separate Written Leases
When sharing an apartment, house, or
room with others try to get separate
written leases. Joint and oral leases are
legal in Virginia but more often than not
can prove to cause unwanted headaches.
KEEP A COPY FOR YOURSELF!
4. SUBLEASING REQUIRES WRITTEN CONSENT OF LANDLORD
CAUTION: If the person you find to
sublease your dwelling fails to pay rent,
it is ultimately YOUR responsibility.

LYNCHBURG GUIDE LYNCHBURG GUIDE
Welcome to Lynchburg — 25 City Facts1. Founding Father
Lynchburg was named for its founder,
John Lynch, who at the age of 17 started
a ferry service across the James River
in 1757. He was also responsible for
Lynchburg’s first bridge across the river,
which replaced the ferry in 1812.
2. 45 Acres
In October 1786, the Virginia General
Assembly granted John Lynch a charter for a
town. The 45 acres granted for the town were
his own land. Lynchburg was incorporated
as a town in 1805 and as a city in 1852.
3. Last Tribe
The Monacan Indian tribe lived in the
Lynchburg area until well into the 17th century.
Their chief village, Rassawek, stood near
where the James and Rivanna Rivers meet in
Fluvanna County. They were driven westward
or killed by the Powhatans and Iroquois.
Descendants of the Monacan now live in the
Bear Mountain area of Amherst County.
4. Quaker Meeting House
The Society of Friends, or Quakers, was the
first religious group to settle in Lynchburg.
Although Charles Lynch, Sr. was a Roman
Catholic, his wife, Sarah and daughter
were instrumental in founding the South
River Meeting House of the Society of
Friends, the city’s first house of worship.
Although there were many Quakers among
early settlers in Lynchburg, the numbers
decreased as agriculture and industry in
the South became increasingly dependent
upon slavery, which the Friends opposed.
The Meeting House, located on Fort
Avenue, was restored and is now part of
Quaker Memorial Presbyterian Church.
5. Miller-Claytor House
Built in 1791 by John Miller, a tavern owner
and later owned by Samuel Claytor, the
Miller-Claytor House was the fourth house
to be constructed in Lynchburg. It was
moved from the corner of 8th Street and
Church Street to Riverside Park and restored
in 1936 as a Sesquicentennial project
of the Lynchburg Historical Society.
6. Seven Hills
College Hill, Garland Hill, Daniel’s Hill,
Federal Hill, Diamond Hill, White Rock
Hill, and Franklin Hill were the original
“Seven Hills” of the City of Lynchburg.
7. Miller Park
Samuel Miller, born on June 30, 1792 in
Albemarle County, made a fortune buying and
selling stocks and bonds. Upon his death, he
left money to establish the Miller Home for Girls
in Lynchburg and the Miller Home for Boys in
Albemarle County. He also left Miller Park to the
City of Lynchburg for the benefit of all citizens.
8. Point of Honor
Built around 1815 by Dr. George Cabell, Sr.,
an eminent physician whose most famous
patient was Patrick Henry. Point of Honor
was the home of important Lynchburg area
families, including the Daniels, Paynes,
and Owens. Although not documented,
it is possible that at some time Point of
Honor may have been used as a dueling
ground. However, since dueling was
prohibited, it is speculated it occurred
on the property in Campbell County to
escape the Lynchburg magistrate.
9. Nichols Tavern
As early as 1815, the Federal style structure
known today as the Joseph Nichols Tavern
was a thriving “ordinary” or inn, near an
extension of the Old Ferry Road, now the
corner of Fifth and Madison Streets. It is
probable that Thomas Jefferson lodged
at the Tavern on his way from Monticello
to Poplar Forest. In the 1840s the site
became known as the Western Hotel and
has since served as a hotel, a brothel and
a rooming house. It was restored in 1975.
10. Love Apple
According to local legend, Thomas
Jefferson, who was visiting the owners
of the Miller-Claytor House on his
way to his Poplar Forest home, took
a bite of the “poisonous love apple.”
Supposedly, this was the first time
anyone had eaten this fruit, which we
now call the tomato, in Virginia.
11. “First Citizen”
Max Guggenheimer, Jr., born in Germany in
1856, was a leader in Lynchburg’s business
community. Guggenheimer joined his
brother-in-law, Nathaniel Guggenheimer, in
running the Guggenheimer store. Soon after
his brother-in-law’s death, Guggenheimer
closed the retail business and began
the first wholesale distributing house for
shoes and boots in Lynchburg, called Witt
and Watkins. Guggenheimer served as
director of the Lynchburg National Bank and
organized and served as the first president
of the Lynchburg Cotton Mill. In the last
quarter of the 19th century and the early
20th century, he enjoyed the prestige of
being called “Lynchburg’s First Citizen.”
12. Packet Boat
Packet Boat “Marshall,” located in Riverside
Park, carried General Thomas J. “Stonewall”
Jackson’s body to Lexington after he was
mistakenly killed by his own sentry. On May
10, 1863, the Orange and Alexandria Railroad
brought Jackson’s remains to Lynchburg
and made the transfer to the packet boat
with the appropriate ceremonies.
13. Lynchburg as State Capitol
From April 6 to 10, 1865, Lynchburg served
as the capital of Virginia. Under Governor
William Smith, the executive and legislative
branches of the Commonwealth moved to
Lynchburg for the few days between the fall
of Richmond and the fall of the Confederacy.
14. School Days
On July 11, 1870, a system of public schools
was established by law in Virginia. The
Lynchburg public school system officially
began September 22, 1870. Abram Frederick
Biggers, great-grandson of John Lynch, was
Lynchburg’s first superintendent of schools.
15. First on the Air
In October 1868, Dr. Malcolm (Mahlon) Loomis,
a part-time resident of Lynchburg, used a
vertical antenna, a high-frequency detector
and a sparkgap transmitter to successfully
send electro-magnetic waves through the
atmosphere, thus inventing radio, six years
before the birth of the “father of radio,”
Guglielmo Marconi. Despite records that
indicate Loomis invented the radio, he lacked
the necessary funds to perfect his equipment
and gain recognition for his invention.

LYNCHBURG GUIDE
16. Famous Undertaker
In 1881, Lynchburg native William D. Diuguid
invented the church truck by putting wheels
on a catafalque, which had long been used
as a stationary resting place for caskets. The
church truck is still used by funeral directors
nationwide. W. D. Diuguid, Inc., was founded
in 1817 and is the second oldest funeral home
in continuing service in the United States.
17. Centennial
Lynchburg’s Centennial celebration was held
October 12 - 15, 1886, in conjunction with the
Agricultural Fair. Festivities included a parade,
fireworks, a band and horse races. John Warwick
Daniel gave the opening address. On November
29, a centennial oak tree was planted in Miller Park.
The tree is still standing today. In 1886 Lynchburg
was the forth largest city in Virginia; there were
49 miles of street, five of which were paved.
18. Famous Products
In 1889, Dr. Charles Brown Fleet, a young
pharmacist who moved to Lynchburg in 1869,
invented and began selling his Fleet’s Chap-Stick
lip balm. In 1893, Fleet developed the formula for
phospho-soda, the basic ingredient for the Fleet
Enema. Organized as C.B. Fleet Co., Inc., in 1916,
the company developed the first disposable, small
volume enema in 1953 and the first disposable
douche product, Summer’s Eve, in 1973.
19. Making the Grade
Randolph-Macon Woman’s College (currently
named Randolph College and is now co-ed)
was the first women’s college in the South to
be accredited and to receive a Phi Beta Kappa
chapter. Founded in 1893 by Dr. William Waugh
Smith, the college represented the South as
one of the sixteen colleges for women in the
United States classified “Division A” by the
United States Bureau of Education in the early
1900s. It was ranked with Vassar and Smith.
20. First Hospital
In 1895, Dr. A. W. Terrell and Dr. Samuel Lile
established the first hospital on record in
Lynchburg—St. Andrew’s Home, a private hospital
at 917 Court Street. Terrell was the physician for
Randolph-Macon Woman’s College for 49 years.
21. If The Shoe Fits ...
In 1888, John Craddock, A. P. Craddock, T.M.
Terry and Max Guggenheimer formed Craddock-
Terry and Company as a wholesale distributing
house for “boots, shoes and rubbers.” The
firm later became The Craddock-Terry Shoe
Corporation and in 1901 built the first shoe
factory south of the Mason-Dixon Line.
22. Iron Man
In the late 1800’s and early 1900’s, H.E. McWane
turned two companies, known as Lynchburg
Foundry Company and Griffin Pipe Products, into
prosperous enterprises whose principal activity
was manufacturing cast-iron pipe and fittings.
Lynchburg was the first southern city in which
cast-iron pipe was made, and in 1936 pipe and
fittings became one of Lynchburg’s principal
industries, employing some 600 persons in the
city. Today, Griffin Pipe Products still manufactures
cast-iron pipe for municipal water systems.
23. Black Poet
Anne Spencer, a black poet born February 8,
1882 in Henry County, is the only Virginian whose
works are included in the Norton Anthology
of Modern American and British Poetry.
After settling in Lynchburg, she established
Lynchburg’s first lending library for blacks and
helped found the local chapter of the NAACP.

Pierce Street included Dr. Martin Luther King,
Jr., Langston Hughes, Dr. George Washington
Carver, W.E.B. DuBois and Jackie Robinson.
24. 139 Steps
Extending from Church Street to Court Street
with 139 steps, Monument Terrace was built in
1924 as a memorial to citizens who fought and
died in American wars. At that time the original
basin, located at the base of the monument
steps, was replaced with a listing of Lynchburg’s
WWI dead and Charles Keck’s representative
of a doughboy, “The Listening Post.”
25. Lynchburg College
Virginia Christian College, later renamed Lynchburg
College, was the first college to offer coeducation
facilities in Central Virginia. The College began
its first session in 1903 with 155 pupils. Although
founder Dr. Josephus Hopwood believed in
coeducation, men and women were not allowed to
sit together at either classes or meals, unless they
were brothers and sisters. Virginia Christian College
was changed to Lynchburg College in 1919.
