About This Item
Publisher's stapled wrappers, octavo, pp. [8]. Black and white illustrations of dignitaries. Program from the groundbreaking ceremony for construction of a new campus for Howard College (now Samford University), including a two page visionary rendering of the campus by venerable local architectural firm Van Keuren, Davis and Company (now Davis Architects). Among honored guests at the ceremony was Birmingham native, Howard graduate, and film star Gail Patrick [Jackson], then of Hollywood, CA. On the front panel of this program is a signature of Gail Patrick Jackson. While it is most likely the actress's autograph, we have not verified it as such. The program is in Fair condition with random abrasions along perimeter, and rear panel shelf soiling that shows more readily than if the publisher had chosen a darker color than white. The wrappers are separating at the foot of the spine. Stored safely now in a clear display sleeve with white card-stock backing board.
