Many of the photographs show university buildings, downtown Champaign-Urbana, and off-campus student housing. Mr. Marwick took photos in classrooms and laboratories, on the main Quad, and throughout campus. Other photographs show the\u00a0decorations of fraternity houses and campus buildings for the 1938 Homecoming.<\/p>\n

Most of the 112 photographs are candid and show students in their daily lives: walking to class, meeting friends, and playing sports. The photographs provide an idea of what student life meant and looked like in the late 1930s.<\/p>\n
