If you enter the Berry Library and Learning Commons from the College Drive entrance you may notice we have a Celtics fan in the Salem State University Archives and Special Collections window! He's ready for the big game tonight!

Charles Frederick Whitney was a prominent artist and instructor at the Salem Normal School (today SSU) between 1890-1928. Learn more about him via the Archives' blog https://libguides.salemstate.edu/home/archives/blog/Charles-F-Whitney
