The
Davenport College room
is on the Museum's
second floor. Although most of the very earliest records and
memorabilia from the College were lost to Union soldiers in
1865, and the next oldest were destroyed in the 1877 fire,
the Museum holds a range of pictures and artifacts that
reflect life at Davenport from its founding in the 1850's until
its closing in 1933.
This room
exemplifies the Museum's continuing attention to its permanent
exhibits, in the ongoing work to provide the most attractive and
engaging displays possible of its many treasures. The room was
painted and drastically reorganized in the second half of 2010,
and was then re-designed again over the summer months of 2011.

Pre-2010, the many yearbooks, catalogs,
student records, and similar materials on display.
These materials are still available, though in a more organized
manner.
