To celebrate Villanova Football’s 2023 CAA Conference championship, we’re throwing it back to 1968 for this week’s TBT. The Villanovan featured a multi-page spread on the Wildcats upcoming season on Sept. 13, 1968. The article included scouting reports on all the Wildcats’ future opponents. Read the full rundown in the Villanova University Digital Library.

Come cheer on your #8 Wildcats in the second round of NCAA FCS Playoffs this Saturday, Dec. 2, at noon. They will take on Youngstown St. in Villanova Stadium. Tickets for the game can be purchased here!

Kennedy Hall is this week’s Throwback Thursday (TBT)! The negative above showcases the Architect’s rendering of the Student Service Building (Kennedy Hall) in 1968.

The Kennedy Hall mailroom is now retired, with Villanova students currently picking up their mail in Falvey Library. However, the Villanova community can purchase a mailbox faceplate from Kennedy Hall! “Each mailbox is $250 and includes a stand for display, a certificate of authenticity and the ability to personalize with any four digits—whether it’s a graduation year, anniversary or other number significant to you.”

Mailboxes are on sale until tomorrow (Friday, Nov. 10), and a portion of each purchase supports the Villanova Scholarship Fund. Purchase a Kenney Hall mailbox here (until supplies last).

Hang in there, Wildcats! Finals will be over soon, and you can breathe a sigh of relief and dance (maybe not on any tabletops.) Good luck—You got this! Image courtesy of the 1968 Belle Air (page 23) via the Villanova University Digital Library. Read the full yearbook here.
