A black and white photo from 1971, credited to Donald Black of The Minnesota Star Tribune. The photo is of college students pushing grocery carts, each filled with boxes of books. Text below reads: Ever wondered how a college campus might transport books around campus? On this day in 1971, student athletes hired by Hamline University pushed grocery carts stacked high with books across campus to the St. Paul college's new $3.4-million Bush Memorial Library. A Minnesota grocery chain lent the students 50 shopping carts for the job. The money students earned was used to buy new baseball uniforms.
