#ChesnuttArchives: Throwback to the Old School Days (8.20.2015)
I would like to welcome everyone to the first
#ThrowbackThursday of Archives and Special Collections at Chesnutt Library
for 2015-2016. Since this is the first week of classes, I felt that it would be
interesting to look back at what students in the past did in order to prepare
to attend Fayetteville State University.
That is, when it was previously known as the State Normal School. Here is an application from that time. It appears very different from today’s application doesn’t it? The head of the school at the time was Dr. E.E. Smith, who was in his third appointment as Principal of the school. Students would attend classes for various subjects including Latin and Rural Sociology. The two-year courses of study were for students intending to become primary grade and grammar grade teachers. The four-year course of study was for students attending high school there.
Below is a copy of the 1922 State
Normal School Application:
If you are interested in looking at more from the school
catalog that this application comes from and other materials, Chesnutt Library
Archives & Special Collections is open for visitation.
Please call (910) 672-1545 or email me–Nicholle Young, the University Library Technician for Archives and Special Collections—at nyoung01@uncfsu.edu for more information if needed.
Have a good day and have a great school year!
Flashback Friday with #ChesnuttArchives (11.6.2015)
Hello my name is Nicholle Young and I would like to welcome you to a special Flashback Friday at Fayetteville State University! Chesnutt Library’s Archives and Special Collections department had a booth two weeks ago during 2015 Homecoming that was dedicated to showcasing yearbooks, catalogs, and student newspapers at the Alumni Welcome Center. The years celebrating their milestones include the Class of 1965, Class of 1990, Class of 1995, and Class of 2005.
People who came from surrounding areas and out of state to enjoy the festivities of Homecoming 2015 were welcome at the booth to reminisce about their time at Fayetteville State. Stories were shared, pictures were flipped through using DigitalNC, and a good time was had by all. Alumni from the Class of 1958 all the way to the Class of 1988 and more were able to enjoy the experience.
For more information on how to use DigitalNC to look at FSU yearbooks, catalogs, and student newspapers, visit this link:

Feel free to contact me if you have any other questions about DigitalNC or Chesnutt Library Archives and Special Collections.
Have a good weekend and continue to be Proud to Be a Bronco!
