For alumni

A nice pictorial summation of the University of Tennessee's Knoxville campus. While ostensibly it celebrates the university's 200th anniversary, most of the photos are from the 20th century. Probably, only alumni of the campus will get anything out of the book. It is good to see acknowledgment of the first Negro students in the 1960s. The book doesn't explicitly state it, but there was racial segregation for over a hundred years prior to this. On another subject, the university's record on female students is reasonably progressive. We see a photo of the first woman to graduate from its Law College in 1909. Not bad for that period.
