Abstract:
For this second generation ECU alumna, the snowstorm of 1943 could have been something worth writing home about. Noteworthy items in this present day reflection included the shortage of male students and rationed items on campus during World War II. Meeting the professed love of her life that day, though, alone would have made it significant and special.

Abstract:
ECU student teachers perhaps can relate to the common concerns cited by this ECTTS student teacher. January 6, 1920 at Greenville’s Joyner School included the day starting with a bell and activities like recess and dinner. Concerns more timely than timeless included games like Sling the Biscuit, a car starting up with a crank, and speeding defined as driving at five miles an hour.

Abstract:
In the midst of celebrating ECTC’s twenty fifth anniversary was mourning the death of its first president, Robert Wright. In the midst of mourning, there was a remembrance of ECTC’s accomplishments: becoming a four year college that offered graduate studies; increasing its faculty from 12 to 90; increasing its student body from 175 to more than a 1000. In the midst of mourning was also a remembrance of how its first president helped them come to pass.

Abstract:
What became the Career Center was the second local residence for ECTTS’s first president, Robert Wright. The first was the first building on campus, Jarvis Hall. From that experience, residency for he and his family was an unconventional version of on campus living. From his children’s experience of the campus as a back yard, it also functioned as home.

Abstract:
Alluding to a phrase still heard in the Progressive Era, NC Agricultural and Mechanical College students visited East Carolina Teachers College students. ECTC’s student body, mostly female, encouraged administration to facilitate co-ed style events that reflected progressive thinking. From that came the Sadie Hawkins Dance style visits of ECTC students to Raleigh.
