A relic
from the
"old days”
Gracing the exhibit area of the new graphic
communications center is a Linotype machine us
ed for many years in the teaching of newspaper
production. Hundreds of Chowan students
operated the machine to gain necessary skills to
enter newspaper employment, prior to it being taken out of operation
in the late /960s. Present-day students at the School of Graphic Com
munications who are learning to operate the latest typesetting com
puters, find the machine "fascinating" and "interesting " Campus
visitors, particularly Chowan alumni, are appreciative that the
Linotype machine has been placed on permanent display in the lobby
of the new building.
