Description |
Black and white class composite photo of Elk Horn College, 1912-13. In the upper left corner is an image of what appears to be the dining hall--rows of tables and chairs. In the upper right corner is a lecture room with lots of fold-out chairs. In the lower right corner is the men's basketball team--five players and a coach. And in the lower left is a photo of the college itself from the outside. Between the two lower photos and just up a bit is a white box with "ELK HORN / COLLEGE / 1912-13." Across the rest of the page are numerous oval photos with names written on the bottom edge. The photo has a white border. There is nothing written on the back. |

The school served as a magnet for Danish immigrants, drawing them to Elk Horn in great numbers. Historian P.S. Vig estimated that between two and three thousand Danish men and women studied at the school before fanning out across the globe to take up their different positions in life. Many of those associated with Elk Horn's Højskole- students, teachers, and administrators alike- became distinguished names in Danish American history. During the thirty-nine years of existence, the primary identity of the school remained definitively Danish, but through its various reorganizations, it bore testimony to the processes of acculturation. The school's last classes were held in 1917. |
