Morgan Manning House

Someone from MM House came in 11/4, seeking photos of MM House; they are trying to determine when there was a fence there, and what kind of fence it was. Helped him look at glass plate photos, 1950s campus photog shots of homecoming, daisy chain etc., hoping to find something, but no luck, other than the one glass plate (040) that showed just the corner of the house ca1910. Something to keep an eye out for...

Soldiers Tower & Genealogy

A couple stopped in, descendants of the William Stevens who was the lead mason on the building of the Soldiers Tower on Owens Rd. He apparently died of a fall in the canal in Aug. 1935, found article in BR. Have book by Johnson too on tower.

Veterans day Committee

Noticed something in the Daily Eagle about a Veterans Day Committee looking for pictures etc. to commemorate Veterans Day. Contacted them re archives holdings, someone replied, is coming in Monday morning.

Followup, 11/7. Worked extensively with Erin Rickman, Transfer Coord., who is chairing the vets committee. She gave me a number of pics from various staff, both of themselves and family, others sent emails, I scanned pics, researched etc. and created a .ppt slideshow, "Veterans Among Us." She will use it and we are also going to run it on the lobby tv on Vets Day.

Arthur Ashe

From alumni affairs, asking on behalf of an alum, if we had a copy of Arthur Ashe's speech here as undergrad commencement speaker in 1990 (they had thought it was '91, but it was '90.) I didin't think so, and we don't, I presume the speeches are the intellectual property of the speaker, and not necessarily something we are given or collect. We do have the bulletins, and it was from those that I corrected the date, and added that he also received an honorary degree that year.
