Description
As Youngstown State University prepares to celebrate its centennial anniversary in 2008, this book is a mirrored image on its history and heritage. Starting as a YMCA law school in 1908, the institution that was Youngstown State University is now a massive and important force in the neighborhood and the region. The photographs collected here illustrate the transformation of the institution from a storefront operation within the downtown area, to lecture room space in former mansions, to a full-blown 21st-century campus. Because the community itself was more diverse, the institution that it spawned followed suit as did its student body, faculty, personnel, and programs.
