MR. H. C. GILBERT'S ADDRESS DELIVERED TO FLORENCE ROTARY CLUB, SEPT. 12, 1921, IN WHICH HE GIVES A HISTORY OF FLORENCE AS AN EDUCATIONAL CENTER FOR THE PAST EIGHTY YEARS

Descripción

17 panels (or pages) on 32; folded up like a travel brochure. Printed on newsprint-type paper so there is some browning and there was splitting noted at a couple of the fold intersections with loss of a few letters of a few words (not bad); good copy: about as good as you could find. Interesting content about novelist Caroline Hentz and her Locust Dell Academy; the Florence Male Academy in 1835; the Florence Female Academy in 1847; the Presbyterians' Florence Synodical Female College; the Methodists' Florence Wesleyan University; LaGrange College and, finally, the State Normal College at Florence which became Florence State and then (much later than this speech), the University of North Alabama. Also the Burrell Normal School for Colored People and the Maud Lindsay Kindergarten, run by Alabama's most prolific author of Childrens' books. N° de ref. del artículo 006591
