Robert Enterline proposed a memorial be built for members of his Army Specialized Traing Program (ASTP) Unit, #3890.  The unit was transfered from their training at North Texas State Teachers College to the 103rd Infantry Division in the spring of 1944 and was sent overseas to serve in France and Germany.

A memorial plaque was made and a ceremony for its unveiling took place on June 30, 1997 at the UNT University Union courtyard.  The plaque was on permenant display at the union. It honors the ten men of AST Unit 3890 who died in action. Four members of the unit, John Dolan, Robert Enterline, Pierce Evans, and Dr. Andrew Setliffe were present at the ceremony.

This collection contains a card-mounted photograph of the first graduating class of North Texas Normal College taken in 1891 and biographical information about the owner of the photograph, J.V. McReynolds, who was a member of the first graduating class. Each of the 15 men pictured in the photograph is labeled with a number and named by first and middle initials and last name on the back of the photograph. Of the men pictured, 3 (J.H. Alexander, S.W. LaFavor, and J.A. McKinney) are identified as "Creek Indian," and J.A. Sanders is identified as a professor. The back of the photograph also reads “This picture property of J.V. McReynolds 1251 East Morphy St. Fort Worth Texas, Class 1891.”

This collection consists of the loose pages of a scrapbook that belonged to Amy Newsom, a student of North Texas State Normal College in the 1910s. Many of the photographs depict Newsom and other female students who resided in the Gallagher House, a boarding house in Denton, Texas. These photos show the students studying, posing in front of the house, exercising, and participating in other social activities around campus and Denton. "Ma and Pa" Gallagher, presumably the owners of the house, are also pictured as is William Bruce, the university president at the time. Individual photographs of Newsom's "friends and classmates" are featured and labeled either with first and last names or the individual's relationship to Amy. These individual photographs include photos of Amy Newsom and of her younger brother, Clyde Newsom.

In addition to photos from Newsom's time in college, the scrapbook also contains photographs and postcards from a trip to Palacios, Texas, as well as "miscellaneous" photos of a house in Celina, Texas, and of a creek.
