November 9, 2009 marks the 20th anniversary of the fall of the Berlin Wall. In commemoration of this important world event, the University of Cincinnati Libraries have created two exhibits on display through fall quarter in the Walter C. Langsam Library.
Brutal images of Civil War battle aftermath illustrate what soldiers on both sides of the conflict faced. However, the role of the healthcare professional on the battlefield is often overlooked. Those who tended to the wounded, sick, and dead made use of the tools and techniques available in a heroic effort to save as many men as possible and aid the Union or Confederate causes.

Paul Hogue, one of the greatest athletes in the University of Cincinnati’s history, and a member of the school’s NCAA championship teams in 1961 and 1962, passed away in Cincinnati on August 17, 2009 at the age of 69.
As a tribute to Paul, the Archives and Rare Books Library has created an online exhibit sharing images of him from his remarkable Bearcat career.
From the exhibit: “Paul Hogue was UC’s first truly effective big man who was variously measured at 6’ 9” or 6’ 10 inches tall, a veritable oak on the court as he set picks and cleared the lane for his teammates. Running into a Hogue pick was a memorable experience for opposing players. His offense, coupled with a nice soft shooting touch, made him a collegiate star.”
