TBT: Fall Classic From the Roaring Twenties

The first week of September marks the start of the autumn season. Yes, that’s your cue to finally get that Starbucks Pumpkin Spice Latte you’ve been waiting for all year! 

Today’s TBT celebrates Labor Day, a national holiday in the US since 1882. This particular advertisement details a celebratory race in honor of our nation’s backbone, the working class. For a quick history interjection, the Altoona Speedway, known as the world’s fastest oval board racetrack, opened in 1923 and hosted two races annually, one on Flag Day and one on Labor Day. These races attracted large crowds of people, and board racing, although dangerous, was a popular entertainment element during the Roaring Twenties.

To see the entire TBT document, feel free to click here. For more information about the Altoona Speedway, please click this link. 

With that, we hope your Labor Day weekend was spent joyfully with friends and family, leaving you refreshed to conquer the semester ahead!

Happy first official week of school, Wildcats!

Although we’re sad to leave summer behind us, we are so happy to have you back for the 2023 fall semester! Today’s #TBT is a page from the 1957 edition of the Belle Air Yearbook detailing how Villanovans of the 1950s spent their time in school. Isn’t it funny how “Studies, sports, and bull sessions” have been a central part of Villanova’s campus culture since the 50s? It’s safe to say not much has changed! What are you looking forward to doing back on campus?

Wishing you the best start of the semester,

Your Falvey Communication & Marketing Team
