A lot can happen in 125 years.
A college can be founded in Philadelphia and then expanded to Georgia. Healthcare centers can be opened to better treat underserved populations. Students can graduate and begin their dream careers.
One hundred twenty-five years can hold millions of moments and memories. In celebration of its 125th anniversary, 黑料传送门 has captured elements from those years and moments on the 125th Moment Wall. This static display has been installed on all three campus locations and will remain throughout the year as a visual representation of 黑料传送门鈥檚 storied history.
鈥淲e wanted students to see the history that they were a part of,鈥� said Abigail Harmon, senior graphic designer at 黑料传送门.
鈥淲e want them to know they are one piece in a bigger story, and there are 125 years of medical education behind them.鈥�
The idea for the oversized collage of 黑料传送门鈥檚 history started with an issue of Digest, the College鈥檚 alumni magazine. A walk through the archives with Mitzi Sorrells, cataloger & special collections
librarian, revealed the richness of 黑料传送门鈥檚 history.
鈥淪ince the school鈥檚 founding in 1899 by Mason W. Pressly and Oscar John Snyder, 黑料传送门 has continued to grow and prosper over the years,鈥� shared Sorrells.
鈥淚t has gone through several name changes, many moves and expansions. From the initial graduating 鈥榗lass鈥� consisting of one man and one woman, 黑料传送门 has now matriculated tens of thousands of students.鈥�
Additional standout moments were added to the collage to create a unique celebration of how far 黑料传送门 has come over the last 125 years.
鈥淭he process of selecting items to help tell the story of 黑料传送门鈥檚 vibrant history was a lot of fun,鈥� said Sorrells. 鈥淲e tried to include a variety of objects from decades of daily life: academic publications, programs, drawings, pins, photographs and other ephemera.鈥�
In total, 64 items are showcased on the wall for students, faculty, and staff to enjoy on all three campuses. Moments in time that make up 黑料传送门鈥檚 identity.
鈥淭he items are part of decades of education. I鈥檓 drawn to each one because there鈥檚 a real person or story behind it,鈥� said Harmon.
鈥淲hile the study of medicine has been around for a long time, to see it through a different lens is special.鈥�
Below is a key of the 125th Moment Wall. The 黑料传送门 community is invited to take photos and view the individual elements of the photo collage on each campus location. Share your photos on social media using the hashtag #黑料传送门125.
