Stubbs Hall Postcard – ULM
This one is labeled, "Administration Building, Northeast Louisiana State College, Monroe, Louisiana". That dates it between 1950 and 1968. It is now known as "Stubbs Hall" at ULM. I remember taking a botany course here when I was in college.

This came from the very first ULM annual back in 1933. What you are looking at is Indian Field which was located behind the buildings that front DeSiard Street at the University now. Looks like a high school field, doesn't it!
1930 Roarer – Concept Art for ULM
This is another page from the 1930 Roarer yearbook, showing the concept art for the new junior college going in on DeSiard Street. You may know it today as ULM! It would be a couple more years before it would open though.

Northeast Louisiana State University/ULM
When ULM first began, this is what it looked like. Those three front building still stand. DeSiard and the ULM campus, look very different today!
