description

This scrapbook documents the 1957 academic year at Wake Forest College, a pivotal time marking the college's first full year of operation at its new Winston-Salem campus. The materials include newspaper clippings, articles, and photographs covering campus life, student government elections, commencement exercises, building dedications, and cultural events. Key highlights include the dedication of the Wake Forest College Law School building, with speeches by Dean Albert J. Harno of the University of Illinois and Governor Luther Hodges; the granting of full accreditation to the School of Business Administration; the formal introduction of the Dean of Admissions role; and continued reflections on the legacy of Wake Forest presidents and faculty. The scrapbook also features articles on the president's home (occupied by Dr. Harold W. Tribble and family), student satire in the form of the character "I. N. Cognito" from the campus newspaper, and debates surrounding dancing on campus - newly permitted in 1957 after a long-standing prohibition.
