Artifact of the week: a photo from the Bill Nutter Historic Slide Show. Before refrigeration, locals kept things cool with block ice from Standard Ice. The Museum recently acquired an ice bag and pick from Dr. Terry Fiddler. Standard Ice is now the Toad Store.

Artifact of the Week:

This coming weekend, the UCA Bears will travel to Tallahassee to play the Florida State Seminoles in Doak Campbell Stadium, and there is a little known Conway connection.

This book in our library collection was written by Doak Campbell in 1935 while he was a professor at George Peabody College. Prior to that, in the 1920s, Campbell served as president of Central College for Women (where Central Baptist College is now located).

In 1941, Campbell was named as president of Florida State College for Women. In 1947, the college began accepting men, and changed its name to Florida State University.

Campbell served as president at FSU until 1957 and passed away in 1973. The football stadium is named in his honor.
