Norwood Brigance. \u00a0Brigance was one of those people who took pictures all around campus. As the archivist, \u00a0I am so glad that he did and that his dozens of slides made it to the Archives many years later. One particularly lovely thing about his slide collection is that they are all in color. So often I see the history of Wabash in black in white photos, it is a real treat to see these vibrant, full color images.\u00a0 The slides are all Kodachrome slides which are very stable and particularly known for holding their color over the decades. \u00a0Here is another great example of the vividness of the Brigance color slides we hold.<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/blogs.wabash.edu\/www2images\/Center%20South%20SLD-2003_992.jpg\" alt=\"\" \/><\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\"><a href=\"http:\/\/blog.wabash.edu\/dearoldwabash\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/9\/2008\/11\/Center-Hall-Magnolia.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-1802\" src=\"http:\/\/blog.wabash.edu\/dearoldwabash\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/9\/2008\/11\/Center-Hall-Magnolia.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"522\" height=\"475\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blog.wabash.edu\/dearoldwabash\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/9\/2008\/11\/Center-Hall-Magnolia.jpg 522w, https:\/\/blog.wabash.edu\/dearoldwabash\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/9\/2008\/11\/Center-Hall-Magnolia-300x273.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 522px) 100vw, 522px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\">This image is of Center Hall and Old South on a sunny spring morning in 1940.
