Custodial History

Much of the legacy portion of the material was salvaged by former history faculty Russell Vance while writting his book. He found the documents scattered on the floor of Earlly Hall. This pile of material was hurriedly stored there after the Normal Hall fire. Newer materials were transfered from the office.
