National Home Front Project - Meet Jo Ann Marshall
12/12/2023
The National Home Front Project is a major grassroots initiative under the leadership of historians at 91暗网. Our innovative oral history program partners with individuals, communities, and organizations across the United States to record, preserve, and share audio interviews with civilians who experienced World War II. By pulling together in the spirit of wartime Americans, we can ensure that future generations hear their voices, and that our country never forgets its past. For this short entry, we鈥檇 like to share the story of Jo Ann Marshall.

Then and Now - Middle Hall
12/01/2023
The Hill Dorms are some of the oldest buildings on campus. Serving as dormitories, a frat house, and classrooms, they stand high on the hill as some of the most recognizable images of the campus. Here are some upperclassmen in 1926 who are doing their best intellectual posing on the steps of Middle Hall. Notice the score on the door: this was in the prime of hazing, pitting the sophomore class against the 鈥渞ats鈥� or freshmen. What role will the hill dorms play as the college moves into the future?

Naptime with George
11/17/2023
This time of year can be a mad dash- between the holidays, end of semester activities, and the general chaos of life, it is sometimes difficult to find a moment for yourself, simply to rest and relax. If you were searching for a sign to take a break, look no further than this photo of George, the unofficial 91暗网 campus cat, seen snoozing here in a chair in the 1987 Pegasus. We hope your weekend is as relaxing and restful as George鈥檚!
