Graham Exhibit Opening Celebration
The NCSU Libraries celebrated former North Carolina Commissioner of Agriculture
Jim Graham's thirty-six-year career with an exhibition, reception, and establishment
of the Jim and Helen Ida Kirk Graham Agricultural Heritage Endowment, which
will be used to acquire books, journals, and electronic media relating to agriculture
for the general library collections. The exhibit, entitled "The Sodfather:
A Friend of Agriculture in North Carolina," opened with a private reception
on January 4, 2001, in the D. H. Hill Library. The exhibit runs through April
4, 2001.
The evening of the opening, the D. H. Hill Library was transformed into an
elegant reception area, where guests heard remarks from library administrators
and guest speakers, including North Carolina Lieutenant Governor Beverly Perdue,
North Carolina Congressman Bobby Etheridge, and NC State Chancellor Marye Anne
Fox.
