It’s great to be back in Antiochiana as your College Archivist. Now that Antioch College is back, donations have begun to flow into the archives once again now that independence has been achieved. Starting with the Alumni Reunion in October, several interesting gifts have been given to Antiochiana, including:

• A felt Antioch banner with gold lettering on a dark blue field, circa 1930, was the gift of Matthew Derr, class of 1989. The large block type makes it reminiscent of the kind of thing used to cheer on a football team, something Antioch College hasn’t had since 1928.

The Antioch College Board Pro Tempore announced today the retention of the executive search firm Isaacson, Miller to assist in the search for the new President of Antioch College.

”The Board believes that this presidency offers a great opportunity for a visionary individual who is eager to embark upon a unique challenge to help create a transformational liberal arts college,” said University Professor at the City University of New York Graduate Center Frances Degen Horowitz ’55, Vice President of the Board and Chairman of the Search Committee.
