Year Book 1918 State Normal School Valley City State U Before Bidding-Please Note that all correspondence regarding this item MUST be via"ASK SELLER A QUESTION" to contact us by ebay messages-DO NOT SEND EMAILS! You are bidding on the yearbook - actual photos! Unfortunately , I did not note any inscriptions. I wish I was more familiar with how to explain the variety of printing applications for the photos and what the various paper utilized is called. I hope that the photographs will provide you with an idea. Lots of old city advertisements. The Foreword in this book indicates that "...the publication has after all really ben made possible by the genreous co-operation of the Department of Manual Training, under whose direction this Blizzard appears as the first more pretentious product of our own printing press." I did a little research and found some additional information on the president of the school at that time: George A. McFarland President 1892-1918 In December of his first year, the school moved from the McDonald Block into a building simply known as "the Main building," which over the years became known as "Old Main." Other construction during McFarland's tenure included two dormitories (East and West Halls), a science building with auditorium just west of Old Main (now known as Vangstad Auditorium) and an Industrial Arts building at the rear of the Main building. In 1920, the old wooden footbridge that joined campus with the city of Valley City was replaced with a steel wire suspension bridge that remains a prominent feature of the beautiful campus. During McFarland's tenure, the school grew from 35 students and 9 faculty to 1,343 students and a 59 faculty. He retired in 1918 under political pressure from the Board of Regents but was widely praised for his performance and generally recognized as the "father" of the college. In recognition of his contributions, Old Main was renamed to McFarland Hall. I am not a book expert. The book is being sold as-is, as photographed. Please note the pictures for cosmetic details. My opinion, the book is in great condition for being 9 decades old! Thank you for looking - Enjoy the auction - We appreciate your bids!!! Paypal is available for online credit card payments.
