Hampden-Sydney College
250 Years of Forming Good Men and Good Citizens

The volumes included are A brief history of Hampden-Sydney College by Shomo, John Hampden & Algernon Sydney by Greenspan, Between Athens & Jerusalem by Utzinger, From academy to college by Coombs, African American History by Emmons, and The Campus by Pearson & McClintock.
