Written by former Southampton College president Edward C. Glanz and published in 1969, this booklet provides a history of the 18th Century windmill that sits at the heart of the Southampton Campus. The book is reproduced here — with the permission of Shirley Glanz — in its entirety as an online flipbook, so you can read it as did faculty, staff and students more than 40 years ago.
