Yea, Alabama: a rare glimpse into the personal diary of the University of Alabama. (1871 through 1901) - Volume 2,

The University of Alabama (UA) is one of the most prominent and fascinating universities in the United States.

Volume Two introduces a number of important elements into the ongoing narrative, including: the University's continual hassle with the radical state government through 1877; a span of only seven years wherein three UA presidents either die in office or in Tuscaloosa shortly after resigning, creating a terrible period of psychological mourning that affected everyone associated with the University; the strict admission of women students, and the effect of this on the faculty, administration, and the cadets; and the establishment of student-written works including a journal, a newspaper, and a yearbook.
