Student Life, Technology & Trends: 1908-2008

Alfred State College staff members and current and retired
faculty have contributed items for the featured exhibit in the Hinkle Library
Gallery and Reading Room entitled "Student Life, Technology & Trends: 1908
- 2008." Part of the College's Centennial Celebration, this exhibit showcases
images of student life over the past century, and is paired with a collection
of everyday and specialized items introduced over the same time period.  Funds for the exhibit were provided by an ASC
Centennial Committee grant which covered the reproduction and professional
mounting of photographs, as well as the purchase of two new exhibit cases.  The exhibit features many items that present-day
students have never seen, including vacuum tubes from the 1940s, rotary phones,
an early transistor radio, early computer storage media from punch cards to
eight-inch floppies, and a galvanometer used at the College during World War
II. 1970-era equipment and records from WETD,
the College radio station, and several early Brownie cameras are also
included.  The exhibit will run until the
middle of January.

The exhibit will be available during
regular library hours: Mondays - Thursdays 8
a.m. - midnight;
Fridays from 8 a.m. - 5 p.m.;
Saturdays from 1 p.m. - 7 p.m.;
and Sundays from 1 p.m. - midnight.
