Postcards: Berea College
The top and bottom postcards are used, and they are both postmarked 1914!!!
The bottom two are both of Phelps-Stokes Chapel. We would see moves and Convos here a lot when I was a student.
The middle card is dated 1953 in writing. It reads:
Student labor built Phelps-Stokes Chapel in 1904; its auditorium accommodates the student body of approximately 1700. The William G. Forest Memorial Chimes are in the chapel tower, and are played several times daily by students.
