Extended Library Hours for Finals

The song says "it's beginning to look a lot like Christmas" (and be honest, you probably just sang that to yourself), but around here in the library it's beginning to look a lot like FINALS!

Today's "Throwback Thursday" goes back to the East Lake campus in 1928 where biology students are taking part in a group lab dissection (some clearly more happily than others).  This image was originally published in the "Yea Howard!" special issue of the Howard College Bulletin from July of that year.

As we prepare to welcome back our alumni for Homecoming this weekend, here's a look back to 1955 when our Howard Homecoming Parade had literary masterpieces as its theme.  Here's hoping our Bulldogs create their own "masterpiece" on the field Saturday!

In 1945, gym classes weren't very co-ed.  This photo shows a ladies-only gym class on our East Lake campus.

The photograph was originally published in a promotional brochure advertising Howard College to veterans as an educational opportunity.
