I often browse through old issues of The Polytechnic looking for answers to burning questions. Today's question brought me to the 1925 issues. Sometimes I happen to read headlines, articles or ads that make me smile. Allow me to share my latest find. :)

It's been a long time since I posted a mystery image. Let's get to it!   Do you know who this is? Leave a comment!

Winter Carnival is this weekend, and I'm excited to see a couple of old traditions being resurrected for the event.

Miss Harriet Peck was the first RPI librarian. She was hired in 1912 when a small library for the Institute was designated for a library, which contained about 9000 volumes. Miss Peck had a degree in library science and experience working in public libraries. She immediately went to work creating the first card catalog for the book collection at RPI.
