This year, the LHSON celebrates its 75th anniversary (forty years at Loretto Heights College and thirty-five years at Regis University). The Memories of Loretto exhibit showcases historical artifacts from Dayton Memorial Library’s Archives and Special Collections, charting the college’s rich legacy with roots dating back to the 1890s when the Sisters of Loretto established a girls' academy in south Denver. 

Brown and Gold(en) Jubilee: 50th Anniversary of the Class of 1973 and Memorable Moments in Regis History

September 1st - 31st, Fireplace Gallery, Dayton Memorial Library

Jubilees mark a special anniversary of an event, and a celebration of fifty years is called a Golden Jubilee. The 1970s mark 50 years since the first group of women graduated from Regis University. This exhibit contains photos, newspaper clippings, and artifacts from the archives which highlight the ways in which women were received. Also featured are the infamous brown and gold beanies which were worn in the 1930s and through 1970s. Archives staff uncovered their original, questionable, and controversial use!
