Digitized 1929 issue of Southern Campus yearbook showing a two-page spread with ornate drop caps, decorative borders, and multiple columns of text. "University student body uses more automobiles than any other institution in the country, according to statistics compiled by Alpha Delta Sigma, national advertising fraternity, on the number and make of automobiles parked adjacent the campus Wednesday. Wednesday A.M. at 10 o'clock, when the survey was taken, there were 2,384 automobiles parked along the street near the campus and in the parking allotments. Of this number, 349 were touring cars, 589 were roadsters, 648 were sedans, and 798 were coupes. The survey further determined that 978 of the vehicles were Fords — 50 per cent were new models — 352 were Chevrolets, 148 were Buicks, 116 were Dodges, there were 106 Studebakers, 94 Chryslers were included, and 86 were of Essex make."
