This photograph from the 1920s shows the faculty of Carthage College along with senior administration. If you're looking for an economics professor, you won't find one (unless you count home economics); nor will you find any political science or digital media faculty. Some professors taught all of the classes in multiple departments. College education has certainly changed significantly in the last 100 years!
