Edmund F. Ball, '23, former CEO of the Ball Corporation, pledged $500,000
to establish the Asheville School Archives as an integral part of
the school's teaching and learning mission. An initial contribution
of $66,000 provided funds to rehabilitate existing space and to
rename the location as the Class of 1923 Archives. This facility,
located on the second floor of Memorial Hall just below the Skinner
Library, was dedicated on October 27, 2001.
The Class of 1923
Archives funds are provided in the spirit that Asheville’s
institutional memory can be a web-based, 21st Century model
of teaching and learning.
A bronze plaque
recognizing Ed's generosity was also dedicated as was a plaque honoring
Donna Lewis, school archivist from 1989-2003.
