Contained in this collection are black-and-white photographs taken by Biddy while a student at North Carolina State University. Some may have been shot for the Technician (the student newspaper).

These images date from approximately 1960, and they depict campus buildings as well as unidentified people who are probably students. Also included in this collection is a cartoon of the NC State campus dated from 1954.
