1922–At old Knox, a Young Man Finds

Well, it does not come out and say the Young Man finds a little nookie and a spouse, I am sure that the subtext was not lost on the prospective students in 1923. I mean the cover, 4th bullet point is “look, there are 220 women here! Come, meet them!”

Okay, well, it may not be that obvious, but that was my first thought when I read the cover of this Knox Bulletin publication from 1922. It is an advertising piece to attract students to Knox. It sells academics, athletics, student life, and any other ideas about Knox they could throw in there. I scanned it in greyscale but I think I need to scan it again in color. It is brown and tan from age, and the grey didn’t allow for the details to come through as well as I would have liked.

Some interesting facts about Knox in here. Well worth the read, and I love love love the huge John Finley Knox Seal on the cover. It truly represented Knox at that time.
