The Davidson College Archives has launched a new blog – “Around the D” Whereas "The Square" has discussed library services in the Carolina Room, the Davidson Archivist, Jan Blodgett, uses the blog to pass on historical infomation about the college from sources in the Archive. Her approach makes for enjoyable reading. For example, some students at the turn of the twentieth century grew to resent the campus bell that summoned them to class and prayers, dubbing it one of the "Campus Monsters". This blog would do well to follow the Davidson example. Look for stories from Charlotte and Mecklenburg county's past in future posts.
