A great occasion to cheer comes early next year as Auburn
University turns 150 years
old. From its founding in 1856 as the East Alabama Male
College, Auburn’s journey to the present has been nothing
short of extraordinary. Beginning with a single building,
a faculty of five, and a student body of 80, the university
has become a preeminent land-grant and comprehensive research
institution with more than 23,000 students and 5,000 faculty
and staff. As part of this unique moment in time, Auburn
University is planning the November release of a book with
the university’s alma mater as the theme.
Produced by AU’s Office of Communications and Marketing,
’Neath the Sun- Kissed Sky views AU through the camera
lens and attempts to give a sense of what more than 200,000
alumni have embraced during their time in the loveliest
village - the Auburn Spirit. The publication also includes
a few archival photos and bits of AU history to make the
present day images even more meaningful.
