OHIO’s Annual Homecoming Display in Alden Library Celebrates the University’s Past

OHIO’s annual homecoming display will be on the fourth floor of Alden Library from noon Tuesday, Oct. 8, through 6 p.m. Saturday, Oct. 12.

The display will feature 19 tables of primary source materials including photographs, student publications — including The Post, the Green and White, the Green Goat and the Ohioan — sports programs, campus maps, yearbooks, scrapbooks and other OHIO memorabilia. Additionally, posters representing 90+ years of University events will serve as the backdrop to the display tables.

“These historic materials help tell the unique and fascinating story of Ohio University, especially from the student’s perspective,” said Bill Kimok, University archivist and records manager, interim co-department head of arts and archives and the display’s curator. “We put out so much stuff that I am confident that people can come here two or three or four years in a row and still find new things in the display.”

The Libraries staff encourages anyone who may be interested to stop by the exhibit and view the items on display. Additionally, Kimok says he can usually be found near the display and encourages viewers to ask him questions or recommend new items to include in it.
