It’s time for a quick roundup of news about the restoration/re-vamping of the former Carthage College/ Robert Morris campus.
old Bryan Auditorium/ new Charger Center
I have received a couple of e-mails and/or comments on the blog from CC alumni and area residents who were interested in the old school in my hometown. (Thank you!) For those of you new to the blog, let me explain that I’ve done quite a bit of writing and blogging about the strange saga that surrounded the campus, a quick summary of which you can find here.
With the recent grand (re-)opening of one of the buildings, and an unveiling of the restored/refurbished auditorium coming up on June 2, the Hancock County Journal-Pilot has been running a weekly series about the history of the former campus.
So, for those readers and for the sake of convenience, I offer a compilation of the links:
Articles on the history of Carthage College
- “Rebirth of the Campus“
- “Evergreen battles, kissing rocks, and other tales of Carthage College“
- “Carthage College students form nation’s first Circle K chapter“
Letters to the Editor from Carthage College alumni:
If you’re from Carthage, attended Carthage College or Robert Morris (or one of the strange “international” incarnations of the college in the 90s), or have any memories whatsoever to share about the campus, I would love to hear from you.
