It’s been a rainy last few days in Davidson. Students are studying for finals with thunder rolling in the background and loading up cars between rain drops. It seemed like a good time to roam through our photograph database for images of rainy days past.

Rain also doesn’t deter getting to class, promoting events, fraternity gatherings or studying.

This rain picture has a bonus – anyone remember what the sign the student is passing?
Leaving Chambers Building
The Chapel sign is now housed in the archives – though we don’t have the boards that announced the next Chapel time.
and finally – this picture was taken before a rain storm. It is of Theodore Viehman, director of the college’s 1937 Centennial Pageant, telling everyone, “It ain’t gonna rain.” Sadly, it did rain and the pageant scheduled 75 years ago never happened.
