description

This scrapbook chronicles a turbulent period (1955-1958) at Wake Forest College, capturing both athletic and administrative upheaval as well as the college's continued transition from Wake Forest, North Carolina, to Winston-Salem. The contents include extensive newspaper clippings, editorials, sports columns, and photographs, with major coverage given to the forced resignations of Athletic Director Pat Preston and Head Football Coach Tom Rogers, student protests and demonstrations (including President Harold W. Tribble being burned in effigy), debates over athletic de-emphasis, and the college's relationship with the Baptist State Convention. Also documented are the public discourse surrounding Wake Forest's financial deficits, trustee decisions, presidential authority, alumni sentiment, and the broader question of balancing academics with athletics.
