An important book

It is amazing how much time you can spend at a place and realize that you know absolutely nothing about the history of the College apart from what you hear from the most established(older) facility. How the college was initially founded and also how there was a time in its history where it almost closed down. And yes there was a time before the College was a public facility that the entire Student body could fit on the porch of Randolph Hall. That is hands down my favorite photograph. Overall-Even if you have no interest in the historical aspect at all you might learn something even it is from an "oh my gosh I'm standing where that guy stood all those years ago" kind of way.
