description

This scrapbook captures a crucial year (1956-1957) at Wake Forest College after its relocation to Winston-Salem, North Carolina. The materials include newspaper clippings, photographs, and articles that document the initial stages of campus life, the construction and dedication of new buildings, and the establishment of student traditions. Highlights include coverage of the first full academic year on the new campus, dedication ceremonies, early organ recitals at Wait Chapel, a Ford Foundation grant, the establishment of new academic and administrative structures, student government and social activities, summer session events, and the relationship between the relocated Wake Forest Baptist Church and its former congregation. The scrapbook also records conversations around segregation and integration in North Carolina's public education system, and features stories of faculty, students, and staff adjusting to the new environment.
