Colorchrome postcard of Skinner Memorial Chapel viewed from the southeast on the Carleton College campus. Handwritten text on back reads in part "Here is a view of the front of the chapel, where Sun. night vespers service is held. Also the big lecture (incl. all our discussion groups together this term) in our army course is held here, - it being one of the few places large enough. Lovely pink tinge as sunrise reflects on it as I go to 830 class. One compensation at least for such an early class." Card is postmarked Dec 1943 and is from Hazel Ramsay, Assistant Professor of History at Carleton College 1943-44.
Colorchrome postcard of a rear view of Willis Hall on the Carleton College campus with Burton Hall and Sayles-Hill Gymnasium also visible. Portion of handwritten text on the back reads "this is one of the not so new buildings on campus here. Chimes sound rather softly from it every quarter hour and of course the hour is struck. These though are in addition to one big clear bell that rings beginning and end of periods (10 min. between) which this year have to begin at 7:30 AM in order to have enough of them in the day for the special army units!" Card is postmarked October 1943 and is from Hazel Ramsay, Assistant Professor of History at Carleton College 1943-44.
