August 2009
Starting in the spring of 2009, we had something new here in the archives – interns! In the spring, we had Lance Poston with us, and this summer it was Caroline Todd. Their big project was to trace the history of PC’s campus and buildings; you’ll be seeing the results of that research on our webpage. Caroline also helped us by preparing a number of entries for our blog, including our August blog. We thought it might be fun for incoming students to see what PC was like 100 years ago. – Read More –

They were either local women, or made arrangements to board with families in town. – Read More –
