 File — Folder: 1

Scope and Content

From the Collection:

This collection contains a single postcard sent to A. Moore Anderson in 1877. The postcard advertises the upcoming session of VAMC beginning in February 1878. The card includes information on the cost of tuition and fees ($40). Room and board ranged from $7/month to $15/month, the latter being "the highest price ever paid." It also notes an expected increase in students due to improvements. In 1876 and 1877, the original president's house was built, as well as the First and Second Academic Buildings. (The house is now part of Henderson Hall, and the two academic buildings were destroyed in 1957.)
