Pictured is the Essary Springs bell as it was used Wednesday, August 26, on the 141st opening day of school at Freed-Hardeman.
For those who are doing research on the history of Freed-Hardeman University, here is some exciting news from Erin Adams, University Archivist:
"Thanks to the generosity of Richard Saunders and the University of Tennessee at Martin's Paul Meek Library, the oldest catalogues in the Archives have been digitized and made available for research through our website: http://www.fhu.edu/library/Archives/Collections. Listed under the appropriate predecessor, a pdf of each catalogue will provide researchers with full access to documents that are growing too fragile to handle as frequently as they are requested. Currently, they are not searchable, but we hope to make the catalogues and yearbooks (which is our next project) so in the coming months. Due to the time it takes to convert files and manage quality control, there are a very few catalogues that have not found their way to the website, but will be there soon. (Catalogues created by Freed-Hardeman University have not yet been scanned.) Please contact me for these files if they are required. It is hoped that these easy-to-use documents will relieve a burden off of several different offices on campus and represent a new step forward in meeting the needs of our University's constituents."
