DOVER, Del. (AP) - February 22, 2008
The capsule had been placed in the cornerstone of Memorial Hall
in 1956. The building was recently demolished to make room for new
buildings. When the capsule was opened Thursday, university
president Dr. Allen Sessoms found a list of every student who
attended the school since the late 1800s. Those records had been
missing for half a century.
Onlookers cheered as other items, such as an old student
newspaper and sports scores were pulled from of the capsule.
Former DSU professor Ulysses Washington, who was being honored
at the event Thursday, said it was great to look back at the
school's history. He began teaching at Delaware State in 1949.
