Changing Times: An exhibit on the History of UNCG

The Martha Blakeney Hodges Special Collections and University Archives is excited to announce the launching of a new, rotating exhibit in the first floor reading room of Jackson Library titled "Changing Times: A History of The University of North Carolina at Greensboro." The exhibit will trace the development of the school from its founding in 1891 up to the present day and will feature artifacts, documents, and photographs from the University Archives.

The Main Building (now Foust Building) and the Brick Dormitory, 1897

The first display highlights the years where the University was known as the State Normal and Industrial School, from 1891-1897.  It includes information regarding Anna Gove, the second school physician; on Charles D. McIver, the school's first president and founder; and on the cost of attendance in 1893.
