This is an artificial collection, maintained by Special Collections staff. North Carolina State University was established in 1887 as the North Carolina College of Agriculture and Mechanic Arts (A&M College). The College opened in 1889 with one building - the current Holladay Hall - six faculty, and courses in the agricultural and mechanical arts, adding a curriculum in applied science in 1893. By the turn of the century the College had grown to some half dozen buildings, about 300 students, and had begun to diversify its curricula. In 1917, the institution's name was changed to North Carolina State College of Agriculture and Engineering (State College). In 1931 the College greatly reworked its curricula as it underwent consolidation. Along with North Carolina College for Women and the University of North Carolina, it became a part of the Consolidated University of North Carolina,.

MoreThe University Archives Photograph Collection Student Life Photographs document life on campus for undergraduate and graduate students attending North Carolina State University throughout its long history, although the bulk of these pertain to the years after World War II. Included are general photos and slides depicting campus life; academic life, encompassing studying, classroom time with faculty, and so on; people at the university, especially African American students, who were finally admitted to the university in the mid- to late 1950s as a result of desegregation; social events and other activities, including protests, community service, concerts and outdoor festivals, and recreational activities; graduation ceremonies; and other facets of student life. This collection also includes a few scrapbooks as well as some clippings and other materials from NC State News Services. The North Carolina State University (originally North Carolina College of Agriculture and Mechanic Arts) officially opened its doors in 1889. Classes began that fall with seventy-two students, six faculty, and one building, Main Building, later Holladay Hall. Two general fields of study were available, agriculture and mechanics, with a third in applied science added in 1893. In the late 1940s, after World War II, NC State experienced growth unparalleled in its history. The G.I. Bill brought thousands of ex-servicemen to campus, and enrollment shot past the 5,000 mark in 1947. Major new programs were also created at that time. By the late twentieth century, NC State could boast a student body of nearly 30,000, nearly 2,000 faculty, and research and program expenditures over $440 million.
