The Bulletin of Elon College, Special Series, includes dates from 1905 to 1976. The Special Series titles served as a vehicle for each administration to communicate to Elon students, staff and alumni what was happening at Elon at given times throughout each academic year. Some booklets addressed specific events, like the Library Number of 1924 that is dedicated to the opening of Carlton Library, and the Athletic Number from June 1926, which includes President William Allen Harper’s commencement address, “Spiritual Athletes.”  Other titles, like the New Series, Opening Numbers and Commencement Numbers were published on a more regular basis to signal the stages of each academic year cycle. Many of the titles, especially the Illustrated Numbers, include historical photographs of the campus.
