For future reference requests, retrieval needs, etc. for Special Collections, here are your new contacts:

College Archives – Mary Houghton, Archives Coordinator

Now more than ever, it is necessary to provide Special Collections with at least 48-hours notice, whether for retrieval purposes or scheduling reference appointments.

Delta Tau Delta, 1969
Pay specific attention to the young man holding the dog on a leash, to the left of the woman in the center. This is Jim Whitehouse, ’69, and his dog Brutus. In 1968, Brutus became the first ever canine Homecoming Queen, much to the dismay of the young ladies in the running. The administration changed his title to that of Homecoming King.
