The Rise and Fall of the St. Mary’s University Football Program

This project explores the St. Mary’s University football program from its origins in 1909 until its final termination in 1941. Through Rattler Newspapers archives, letters from the University to the Provincial House, and photographs courtesy of the National Archives of the Marianist Province of the United States, this project will bring together for the first time this information for public viewing.
St. Mary's Student Life Through the Rattler

The aim of this digital exhibit is to provide context of student life at St. Mary’s. With the use of the Rattler archives as my primary source material, I found that what students care about hasn’t changed much. How students express themselves and their pastimes has changed, but many of the same issues such as campus safety and social justice have remained the same across generations.
