Media coverage scrapbook, 1952/1955

Containers:

Box 42

Scope and content:

Scrapbook containing newspaper clippings from external media sources meticulously covering Mary Washington College and its faculty, staff, students, and events. The sources are most frequently, but not limited to, Virginia newspapers like the Free Lance-Star and Richmond Times-Dispatch. It appears to be something that could have been assembled by the college's media relations office, although there is no identifying context. The scrapbook provides a fairly comprehensive timeline of events and important figures at MWC from 1952 through 1955, including the departure of President Combs.

Physical description:
