Just installed: An exhibit at @JMUlibraries’ Carrier Library for the 100th anniversary of the founding of @TheBreezeJMU, the campus paper at @JMU. First edition was published December 2, 1922. Big thanks to Julia Merkel in Special Collections for making it possible.

@emrylaw @JMUSpeColl @JMUAlumni @JMU Pretty sure it had a major reno in the 90s but would need to verify

[Brad Jenkins @bjenk]

After meeting with @JMUlibraries preservationist Julia Merkel on a potential @TheBreezeJMU collab for the paper’s 2022 centennial, I asked if I could see the 1st edition in the print archives. I had seen the digital version, but never the paper. Nothing beats the real thing!

[merkeljm @merkeljm]

@bjenk @JMUSpeColl @JMUlibraries @TheBreezeJMU Looking forward to celebrating the Breeze in 2022!

@JMUcampushist I want to believe that choosing violet and gold from Lanier and Lee literary societies was really just suffragette subterfuge

Happy Women's History Month--enjoy this "Dressing for Education" exhibit feature

[JMU Libraries @JMUlibraries]

Is it a coincidence that JMU purple and gold are...the suffragette colors? Two faculty are telling the story of women's rights at JMU in the early days through a historic clothing exhibit in Carrier until 4/11.
