This group of photographs was selected by the University Archives to represent student life.  For this assignment, you must select from the images provided above in the slide show.  To copy an image, right-click and select "Save Image As..."

The Pedagog is our primary source for information about student life, so be sure to look at the printed volume to read any text that might accompany the activities pictured.  For specific dates, looking at the Star may be helpful, too, as articles may have been written about a specific event.

Be sure to look at catalogs as well - the introductory material sometimes includes student-related demographics.
