A history of inclusion While the Unified Sports program set a national standard for other universities to use sports to build inclusive campus cultures, Rowan has a distinguished, 80-year history of providing educational pro - grams and services to the disability community. “One of the most important things we can do as a University is to model what we hope society will provide,” said College of Education professor Sharon Davis, coordinator of the master’s program in learning disabilities. “There has always been a culture of inclusion on campus.” Twenty years before the state of New Jersey mandated a public school education for children with disabilities, faculty member Mar- ion Little founded the Glassboro Children’s Clinic on campus in 1935.

Before clip art or stock photos, before desktop publishing or design so ware, before computers or even copy machines, Mulford and other students created yearbooks that we appreciate now as historical and cultural works of art.

For the  book, Mulford selected sketches by other students and meticulously drew embellished letterforms and borders inspired by natural beauty on campus. She and schoolmates created detailed silhouettes of faculty and sta and illustrations of schoolmates at work and play. Much of the art is strikingly sophisticated, some more primitive. As the years progressed and Mulford’s successors stepped in, local and world history, cultural norms and popular styles inuenced the students’ motifs and subject matter.

Carefully planned as treasured records of college days, the early Glassboro yearbooks were a point of campus pride. Eventually, original art in yearbooks would disappear amid changing students’ interests, publication styles and technology. Other campus Marjory Mulford, publications including e Whit, Venue and Airborne began to provide outlets in front row, second which student artists chronicled their college days.
