The images on this page are part of a scrapbook compiled by 1920 MU Civil Engineering graduate, Warren G. Fowler. The scrapbook is part of a larger collection of Fowler's student memorabilia within the holdings of the University of Missouri-Columbia Archives. The entire Fowler collection is available to patrons in the reading room of the UMC Archives (#703 Lewis Hall).
Fowler provided accompanying descriptive text which explains that the photographs are, "Airplane views of the University of Missouri and Columbia. Taken Sept. 1919 from Fred Neidermeyer's airplane." Sadly, he adds that "Neidermeyer was killed in an airplane accident in the Spring of 1922."
MU ID: mu:5218.

Remembering the Savitar: Our Grounds & Buildings
-
Welcome to the Savitar, the University of Missouri yearbook. "The Savitar," began publication in 1894, continuing its tradition through 2005. Within, the Savitar offers photographs of faculty, students, campus events, and extracurricular activities. Because the Savitar's tradition at the University survived over a century, interestingly, we are able to trace the evolution of campus and its facilities.
This collection seeks to answer the question: "How did the University come to be?" Whether it be The Columns, Jesse Hall, or Memorial Union, The Savitar captures an inside perspective of the University's development, and its commentary on campus activities can help approach this question. Rome wasn't built in a day--and neither was Mizzou. But, over the century, the University has developed considerably, and hopefully this collection captures the fascinating timeline of such progress. Click any of the locations below to delve into Mizzou's past.
