However, changes were happening underneath at WSU throughout. The change happens fast – football programs in 1968 depict players with flattops and suit jackets, but by 1972 they have long hair.

Certainly through the late 1960s, WSU students appear very ‘square’ – men are always in button down shirts and ties during school women are in calf-length dresses. It has occasionally been said that the sixties didn’t start until 1970. Protest! Students, War, & Racism: WSU Student Activism, 1969-1970.

Read the full WSU press release on the exhibit. It is part of this year’s events around Women’s History Month and the Common Reading book “I Am Malala.” The exhibit also highlights women’s determination to get an education and how they made their mark in society afterward. This new exhibit explores the stories of early women contributors at the fledgling college. The small land-grant college in farm country did something the larger Eastern universities would not do: give women the chance to use their intellect and demonstrate the benefits of higher education for all. But in the western states, where there were fewer people, many colleges were coeducational, including Washington Agricultural College and School of Science.

Ambitions & Intellect: Pioneering Women at WSU.īefore 1900, women were denied entrance to many Eastern colleges, which were strictly for men only. In addition, the exhibit includes examples of hand press technology and information about the Bloomsbury Group. This exhibit celebrates the 100th anniversary of the founding of the Hogarth Press and features books from MASC’s Library of Leonard and Virginia Woolf and Hogarth Press collections as well as other printed works associated with these collections. As literary and social figures of status, the Woolfs used the Hogarth Press as a means to promote ideas and values shared by the Bloomsbury Group, as well as to expand the traditional relationship between authors and their work by giving artists more control in the publishing process. The Hogarth Press also represented new ways of thinking about writers and their work. In addition to notable works by writers affiliated with the Bloomsbury Group, the Hogarth Press printed titles devoted to cutting-edge subjects of the time, including politics, psychoanalysis, and foreign literature in translation. What began as a hobby became a legitimate publishing concern within a few years. In 1917, Virginia and Leonard Woolf purchased a hand press and set it up in the dining room of Hogarth House, their London home. A Century of the Hogarth Press, 1917-2017. This exhibit features a forged Abraham Lincoln manuscript, rare books mutilated and altered by a famous book thief who stole a trove of valuable items from MASC, and other examples of problematic documents. In MASC collections, problematic items lurk in the rare book and historic newspaper collections, in manuscript and photograph collections. Sometimes with sound reasons, and sometimes unintentionally, these institutions provide a home for documents that are forged, counterfeit, fraudulent, fake, and sometimes honest facsimiles that are mistaken for authentic originals.

Many libraries and archives have in their collections items that are not what they purport to be. Frauds, Fakes, and Forgeries: Deception in the Archives As the centennial of “The Fight Song” approaches, the MASC looks at the role it, and similar songs, played on campus, looks at the events leading to the fight song’s creation, and shares the lives of the two women whose music has inspired generations of Cougars.
