Wofford College Illustrated, 1898

And a happy post-Homecoming Monday to all of you. 

Lest you think all of us on campus are taking a day off to recover from the weekend's festivities, here's some evidence that some of us are working. 

This summer, my student assistants and I worked on several scanning projects.  Now that I've dug myself out from a few other projects, I've finally gotten around to posting some of the evidence of their work.  One project involved scanning a small booklet of photographs from 1898 called Wofford College Illustrated.  It's sort of like an early version of an admissions brochure and a yearbook.  I've put the images on Flickr, which some of you may be familiar with.  The booklet is 32 pages, and has pictures of what a Wofford chemistry or mineralogy lab looked like in 1898.  There are also photos of the gymnasium, the library, the faculty, the four classes as well as the fitting school class, and a few Spartanburg scenes. 

So, I invite you to check out Wofford College Illustrated at your leisure.  There's also a link to the booklet from the Archives Digital Collections page (you can also check out the Carlisle "Memories of Wofford College" and the "Memoirs of Sandor Teszler" while you're visiting Digital Collections.
