Village historian visit

Jackie Morris and a friend stopped in, looking for info from 1850s. Unfortunately the Brockport Republic doesn't cover the years they needed. But was able to show them some other resources for future use, like the items in the Digital Commons.

Looking for something from mid 70s, years we don't have.

Email from alum re some photo a history prof he had ca1971 had or showed them of Cordell Hull and Dept. State staff ca1940. Scanned and sent list of history profs from catalog, since he couldn't remember the name, and said we did not have the photo here, suggested the history section of the dept of state website.

Editors of Stylus

Student researching history of Stylus emailed, asking about a listing of editors of the paper. Mary Jo G. had put together a list luckily, covering 1914-2005. Emailed list, student will likely come in for some other things.

Brockport athletic history

Interesting, a prof from Northern Ill. Univ. researching SUNY schools and the role athletics and sports in the played in the development of the college, building alum loyalty, the development away from being a teacher's college etc. in the 1945-1970 period.
