Letters, photographs and objects from the collections of the University Archives are on display now through the end of May in the Leonard Pearlstein Gallery (3401 Filbert St).  The exhibition, A Legacy of Art, Science & Industry: Highlights from the Collections of Drexel University, brings together for the first time under one roof the art and historical treasures of Drexel's many special collections.  Among the items on display are such documents from the University Archives as a letter from Ulysses S. Grant to Anthony J. Drexel, photographs from the first decade of the Drexel Institute, and the 1930s dance cards pictured below.  Please come to the exhibition and let us know what you think!
