Clara Ramsey DeWilde was a pretty typical WKU student in 1945. Born in Russellville, Kentucky in 1926, she was 19 when she came to Bowling Green. She lived in West Hall and created a scrapbook of photographs of her time on the Hill. These include friends on campus, Halloween in the dorm, a trip to Mammoth Cave and family.
This scrapbook was loaned to University Archives for digitization in 2007. It is now available to researchers via KenCat by searching DeWilde [http://wku.pastperfect-online.com/35749cgi/mweb.exe?request=ks]. This is only one of many examples of Student/Alumni personal papers found in the University Archives.
If you have personal papers documenting life on the Hill please contact the University Archivist at klmref@wku.edu.
