Campus has changed a lot over the years! Here's a shot of Neale Stadium, some tennis courts, and Memorial Gym back in 1939. This and other historical photos are available in the University of Idaho Library's Digital Collections at https://www.lib.uidaho.edu/digital/

Curious about what our staff and faculty are reading? Here's a suggestion from one of our staff members. You can find The Good Soldier Švejk and His Fortunes in the World War by Jaroslav Hašek on our third floor.

Jeremy Hixson recommends it because it's “a fun, satirical look at WWI and the Habsburg empire, just before its collapse, from a Czech POV. Švejk is either a guileless imbecile or a genius spreading chaos through feigned stupidity and, in either case, is a fun lens for reconsidering this time in history.”

This image, part of a report by the U.S. Department of Agriculture Biological Survey on predation and pests, depicts C.T. Ledbetter and two others with a 250-pound sturgeon caught from the Snake River in 1935.
