A baseball uniform from the 1930s, aerial photographs of campus, the tennis racquet of Giles Cooke ’23, and more are featured as part of a new exhibit from the collection of the University Archives. “Healthful and Recreative: Fields for Fitness, Courts for Competition, and Arenas for Athletics, 1900-1970” explores the growth of athletics at William and Mary in the twentieth century. Blow Gym, the Barksdale Athletic Fields, William and Mary Hall, Cary Field, Zable Stadium, and the people whose vision and finances made these facilities possible receive special attention.
The exhibit is on display in the Nancy Marshall Gallery and the Special Collections Research Center, located on the first floor of Swem Library, and will be open through February 7, 2010.
