Oberlin College & Conservatory's new photographic essay about the school's history, published by College Green, comes encased an embossed red twill slipcase.

大学纪念品不常引起我们的注意，但当奥伯林学院

印刷在美术纸上，加上手工插入的“天鹅绒”页，这所艺术、科学和音乐学院的故事令人惊讶地引人入胜。19世纪30年代，在美国中西部一片被遗忘的森林中，这所大学和周边的殖民地开始崛起。建筑物是从山毛榉和枫树中雕刻出来的，道路必须从头开始修建。埃文斯说：“约翰·杰伊·谢泼德(John Jay Shipherd)和奥伯林(Oberlin)创始人菲洛·斯图尔特(Philo Stewart)公开宣称的目标是，建立一个更美好的世界，一个乌托邦式的社区，尽可能远离喧嚣的大都市人群。

在这个“远离世界其他地区的良性泡沫”中，激进的历史被创造出来。该学院是美国第一所在男女同校环境下授予女性学士学位的学校，也是首批录取非洲裔美国学生的学校之一。学院一直以培养自由思考者而闻名。奥伯林的校友艾维·艾萨克斯在书中说：“奥伯林吸引了创造力、过度兴奋和激情，并将它们放在一起腌制了四年。”

不管它的故事是否能引起读者的共鸣，这部巨著不能不吸引读者，因为它惊人地融合了当代与档案馆的意象，以及不同寻常的呈现方式。这所学校和周围都有令人满意的建筑风格组合-建筑师罗伯特·文丘里(Robert Venturi)说，“我追求凌乱的活力，而不是团结。”他设计了校园“艾伦巷艺术中心”(Allen Lane Art Center)引人注目的后现代附属建筑，这些页面生动地捕捉到了这

为了向社区的折中建筑致敬-例如，在南大街(South Main Street)，奥伯林酒店(Oberlin Hotel)上世纪50年代的功能主义与大厅礼堂令人惊讶的具体曲线并排-这本书的面料封面上印着抽象的棱角分明的窗户，从内向外提供了校园的景色。还有一些校友的照片和他们的一些作品，包括吸引眼球的海报艺术。同时，印在半透明纸上的23个手工插入的‘皮肤’上有引人印象的引号。1979年班里的卡拉·怀特·弗雷沃格尔(Carla White Freyvogel)写道：“我仍然能感觉到那些日子在我的骨头里-夏天和初秋的明媚阳光，11月潮湿树叶的光滑，一月和二月的酷寒。”翻阅这本书的页面，你也开始感觉到它们。
