It examines a vast group of students (two to three per decade) throughout the University&#8217;s first fifteen decades. Many of these students were early pioneers of cultural change and others were leaders fully immersed in University life. This exhibit was prepared by Zack Stein and based on research by John Franch.<\/p>\n<p>The eight panels that compose the physical portion of the exhibit are on display in the west corridor of the
