The Wake Forest University Archives was happy to collaborate with the Traditions Council and Hanes Gallery Director Victor Faccinto to create an exhibit titled “The Old Alma Mater: A Wake Forest History Exhibit.” Visitors can get a glimpse of wool banners, Samuel Wait’s travel chest, an early version of the Demon Deacon, ledgers from the Euzelian and Philomathesian literary societies, the football from the Tangerine Bowl, and photos of President Truman’s visit to Winston-Salem during the groundbreaking for the “new campus”. All of these items are from the University Archives’ collection and tell part of the wonderful story of Wake Forest Institute/College/University. The exhibit is in the Hanes Art Gallery and will run through October 12.
