A Taste of UP for Friends, Families, Founders

December 6, 2019

From early years—when Archbishop Alexander Christie would come to campus to celebrate his Name Day, i.e., later becoming Founder’s Day—UP has been privileged to share the life and wonders of its campus with friends and families. For a brief retrospective of the recent Junior & Senior Family Weekend, plus news of a picnic under the pines in 1934, follow this link to read a post from the University Archives and Museum.

For more information contact Carolyn Connolly, museum coordinator, at piatz@up.edu or x8038.

The Bells They Are A-Ringing

September 20, 2019

Dundon-Berchtold Hall will be dedicated this week, but a new addition to the family needn’t obscure the birthdays of earlier arrivals and campus siblings. Swindells Hall is also celebrating its birthday this month, dedicated twenty years ago on September 23; and the Bell Tower was dedicated on September 18 ten years ago.  To mark the Bell Tower dedication anniversary, the University Museum and Archives provide this post.

Great Fire of 1969: 50 Years Ago This Week

April 12, 2019

April 18, 2019 marks the 50 year anniversary of the University’s Great Fire of ’69, according to museum coordinator Carolyn Connolly. Education Hall, located near the present-day Mago Hunt Center caught fire in the early morning hours and was a total loss, causing the drama, music, and education departments to lose their physical homes on campus along with decades worth of instruments, costumes, the University’s auditorium, and personal and professional documents and items.

To see more about the Great Fire, go to the University museum blog at this link.

New Museum Blog Post: “Spires of Learning Reach Up to the Sky”

September 21, 2018

Robert Franz and his sister Elsie Franz Finley advanced the University mission in 1995 when their generosity helped make construction of Franz Hall possible. The new Franz Campus will bring expanded sporting fields for both varsity and intramural sports, which complements the Franzs’ earlier gift, as from the beginning of UP’s time on the bluff, its mission has embraced not only clean living and clean air, hands, and hearts, but also assisting to shape our students as whole persons through leadership, learning, and formation. See the latest Archives and Museum blog post at this link.
