About This Item
1914. Paperback. Fair. photos and illustrations, unpaginated. Flexible suede leather wrapper. 26cm. Suede cover mostly intact but browned and brittle, and also quite chipped and worn on the overhanging edges. Cover flap for a display of photos for a women's group with the initials "SLS" is almost entirely detached (and may be by the time this reaches a buyer); contents otherwise sound and clean. Laid in are two pages from a photo album which contain 9 pasted down photos, 6 of which appear to be real photo postcards. The college opened in 1910 as a college for the education of white teachers. The most memorable event during the 1913-1914 school year was the fire which destroyed Main Building, the only classroom, laboratory, library and office building at the young college. Four of the six real photo postcards show Main Building being consumed by fire; the other two real photo postcards show the building after the fire. Two of the other three (smaller) photos show Main Building before the fire.
