Polymorphonuclear neutrophilic leukocyte, Rah, Rah!
by Barb Boose
Nucleous, Pacemaker, Cardiograph – those are just some of the names of the Des Moines University yearbook published on and off since 1905. Lindsey Smith has launched an effort to scan the collection amid her other duties as archivist in the DMU Library and Kendall Reed Rare Book Room, where visitors can page through the actual volumes along with many other historical books, reprints and out-of-print journals.
“We thought that by digitizing our collection of yearbooks, we could share a relevant and entertaining part of our history on our website for all to see,” she says.
