How well do you know your ABCs of SDSU's
history?
How many times has San Diego State's name changed?
What was the first residential hall on campus?
How old is the Associated Students organization?
Have the school colors always been crimson and black?
Discover the answers to these questions and many more in this exhibition
on display in the Donor Hallway of the Library and Information Access,
Malcolm A. Love Library. Take an alphabetical stroll through time and
view photographs, yearbooks, correspondence, and artifacts dating from
the institution's founding as a state teacher's training school in 1897
to the research institution that we know today. While it would be impossible
in one exhibition to represent every person, place, event, or custom that
has played a role in the evolution of SDSU, the selections on view offer
a glimpse into the campus's rich and textured past. Special Collections
and University Archives, located on the fourth floor of the Library Addition,
is home to these and other materials that document the history of SDSU.
Much of the information included in this exhibition was drawn from the
book San Diego State University: A History in Word and Image by Raymond
Starr (San Diego, CA: San Diego State University Press, 1995). Copies
may be found in the Library and Information Access general stacks, in
the Reference Section, and in Special Collections and University Archives.
A copy is also available in the library on the Imperial Valley Campus.
Call number LD 729.6 S3 S73 1995.
Special thanks are extended to Natalie Pastor (Library
Instruction/Graphic Services) for her exciting poster creation, Kathi
Neal (curator), and to the team of Mana Ghodsian, Marita Johnson, and
Edo Williams for their fine design talents.
