Still on the road today (thanks to everyone from Larchmont for a wonderful New Student Reception!)
While today isn’t Throwback Thursday, we’re still going to take a look at the past. There is a Digital Archive as part of the ZSR Library. If you want to explore Wake Forest’s history, you can spend time searching through said archive.
Here is the oldest thing I could find – from 1883, the editors of the student literary magazine (and what handsome chaps they are!)
These were our President’s Aides from 1990. Please note the ground – this was before the Quad was bricked. Used to be it was a combination of slate slabs and cement. Wow, the shoulderpads in the blazers! I do not miss those 🙂
This appears to be some sort of jug band/May pole event maybe? Or possibly one of our old Societies (these were like sororities but existed only on Wake Forest’s campus, not nationally).
Here we have a Peace Corps sign up table. Must be the 1970s.
And here is a family checking in at registration for what was then called Parents Weekend (now Family Weekend).
Anyway, the Digital Archives are a fun little rabbit hole to go down if you want to see into our history. Enjoy!
