鈥淲e鈥檝e received a lot of items through the generosity of alumni and their families. This show gives us the opportunity to display some of these items where more people can see them and enjoy them. It鈥檚 remarkable to walk through the show and compare the historic photographs to the campus today,鈥 Director of Alumni and Development Karen Pope said.
