Displays in the Library

Hope everyone is enjoying summer! If you haven't been in the library lately, we invite you to stop by and see our current displays. While you're in, you could pick up a book from our Leisure Reading Collection so you have something great to read on the beach on one of these sweltering days!

Here are the current displays:
1. History of Blackwell Library with narrative texts taken from Kathryn Kalmanson's "Looking Back: Blackwell Library From the Beginning" article
2. "An Ever-changing Landscape" (various construction and aerial views of the campus from 1930s to 1970s)
3. "Rat Week" (Freshmen Orientation Rules from the 1940s and 1950s with assorted memorabilia)
4. "Successful Athletic teams" (plaques from the Alumni House)
5. "History of Salisbury" (a Nabb Research Center exhibit)

In addition to the exhibits in the display cases, there is also a 6-panel wall exhibit pertaining to the origins of the School Seal.
