Abstract:
Before leadership was a college campus buzzword, ECU’s Air Force and Army ROTC cadets profiled were living this role, in the classroom and out. These programs, then, provided student-cadets like Joelle Banjo-Johnson training for more than life in the barracks and on the battlefield.

Abstract:
A collection of music arranged by Alice Morgan Person in the 19th century may have stayed hidden, were it not for Harry Stubbs IV cleaning out the family home’s attic. From her great great-grandson’s archival contribution, items once bound by space have been digitalized, thus no longer bound by time.

Abstract:
The Jazz Age was also known for the popularity of sports on college campuses. ECTTS was no exception, with popularity so great that two leagues were created, the Athenians and Olympians. Though the 1970s became known as ECU’s Golden Age of Sports, another golden age can be perceived in the League’s two decades' dominance in campus sports.

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:
Among ECU’s famous firsts was Fletcher Residence Hall, the first campus building to have elevators. The building, opening in 1964, was named for novelist Inglis Fletcher. It attained the nickname “skyscraper dorm” from being the tallest building in Northeastern North Carolina at that time. The seven story building remained the highest high-rise until its residential neighbor, ten story White Residence Hall, opened in 1968.

Abstract:
A subject almost one hundred and fifty years old found a newer audience through Gerald Prokopowicz podcasts, Civil War Talk Radio. The stereotypical dry, dull history lecture didn’t apply in this case, due to his Siskel and Ebert style discourse.

Abstract:
Tenth Street and Dickinson Avenue’s railroad track offers no apparent evidence of its longstanding connection and importance to East Carolina University. However, it, part of the Atlantic Coastline Railroad, served as a major transportation hub when ECU was East Carolina College. In fact, the presence of this railroad company was a reason for Greenville becoming the site for what began as East Carolina Teacher’s Training School.
