MoreThe collection contains one artifact, a medallion commemorating the twenty-fifth anniversary of the North Carolina College of Agriculture and Mechanic Arts. The medallion appears to be bronze, and it measures roughly 1 inch by 1.5 inches. It was cast by Whitehead and Hoag of Newark, New Jersey (faintly indicated on the back). The front has the college seal and this text: "25th Anniversary, 1889 1914." The medal was found during the 1970s or 1980s in Pullen Park (near the university's Bagwell Hall) in Raleigh, North Carolina. The North Carolina College of Agriculture and Mechanic Arts (the original name for North Carolina State University) commemorated its twenty-fifth anniversary on 1-3 Oct. 1914. In addition to the actual anniversary excercises, the celebrations also included alumni reunions, dinners, dances, receptions, a military drill, and a football game.
