This image is a photograph used in the book Auburn, a Pictorial History of the Loveliest Village by Mickey Logue and Jack Simms, 3rd edition, 2013, depicting the history of the city and the university. From page 168: Mrs. Bessie Bailey, a widow, sold her forty-acre farm and came to Auburn in 1938 determined that her son, Wilford, be educated in veterinary medicine. She first operated a boardinghouse, mostly for veterinary students, and then became API's chief telephone operator. She is shown at the switchboard in 1947. ... Her older daughter, Freda, became secretary to Dean R. S. Sugg of the College of Veterinary Medicine. Her son became not only a Vet School department head, but also interim president--the title later changed by the trustees to president--of Auburn University.
