The images on this page are part of a scrapbook compiled by 1920 MU Civil Engineering graduate, Warren G. Fowler. The scrapbook is part of a larger collection of Fowler's student memorabilia within the holdings of the University of Missouri-Columbia Archives. The entire Fowler collection is available to patrons in the reading room of the UMC Archives (#703 Lewis Hall).
Fowler provided accompanying descriptive text which explains that the photographs are, "Airplane views of the University of Missouri and Columbia. Taken Sept. 1919 from Fred Neidermeyer's airplane." Sadly, he adds that "Neidermeyer was killed in an airplane accident in the Spring of 1922."
MU ID: mu:5218.

Aerial view of UMC's Red (West) Campus, 1919.
Aerial photograph of Red Campus. In this photograph, UMC's Red (West) Campus is a mixture of the familiar and the seemingly out of place. Well-known buildings, such as Jesse and Switzler Halls share the space with long-vanished structures such as the old power plant (just west of Jesse Hall) and Lathrop Hall (on 6th street where Engineering East is now located)., Original: Held By: Archives at the University of Missouri--Columbia Source: University Archives, C:22/8/1, Box 2, FF "1919 Aerial Photos" Master File Type: TIFF (image/tiff) Access URL: muair0003.jpg Current Date: 2005-03-12 MDI Identifier: muair0003 Access File Type: JPEG
