Author Reception and Book Signing

On Wednesday, November 20, about 100 people came to Fogelson Library to hear author Richard McCord speak about his newest book, No Halls of Ivy: the Gritty Story of The College of Santa Fe, 1947-2009.
The book is available for checkout.

Library Director, Margaret Van Dyk, introducing the author.


The Christian Brothers, founders of Saint Michael's College and The College of Santa Fe, commissioned the book to document the history of our campus before it became Santa Fe University of Art and Design.   Mr. McCord is the co-founder of the Santa Fe Reporter, and the author of The Chain Gang: One Newspaper Versus The Gannett Empire.  A lively story-teller, he told several interesting stories about the book, its origin, and the research he did for it.









The event was sponsored, and refreshments provided, by Friends of the Fogleson Library.




Prairie Dog cookies recalled the mascot of the College of Santa Fe.
