Throwback Thursday - Studying in the Library, 1945

As final exams are winding down, we present for this week's "Throwback Thursday" a scene that was re-enacted many times this past week -- students studying in the East Lake campus library in 1945.

This image was originally published in "Educational Opportunities Offered to Veterans at Howard College," a November 1945 promotional brochure advertising the school to veterans of World War II.  The original caption read "Library Scene: Howard's library is a popular gathering place for students. Below, civilians and Navy trainees share a library table."  It would seem that 72 years later that's still the case.

We hope everyone's exams went well this week -- and if you still have any today, GOOD LUCK!
