Title
Article "Building on a Name: Freeman Hall Named for Former Messenger Editor"
Subject
Description
This article described Freeman Hall and the person behind its name, Douglas Southall Freeman. Freeman Hall was built in 1965. The article described Freeman's work as a writer, academic, and educator as well as his connection to the University of Richmond. Freeman was an alumnus and former member of the administration. The article told of his childhood in Lynchburg, VA and the "strict upbringing he received from his father, a confederate soldier." The article argued that Freeman's childhood led to his conservative values and traditional outlooks, including his disapproval of women enrolling in Richmond College classes. The article went on to describe Freeman's involvement in The Messenger, The Richmond News Leader, and his work as a radio broadcaster. The article concluded with a list of book publications and the awards they have received.
