This is how the neighborhood looked when the Richmond Professional Institute moved to the corner of Franklin and Shafer in 1925. April 16’s “A Night in Mr. Cabell’s Richmond” harkens back to VCU's past and funds scholarships for today's students. go.vcu.edu/libraryfundraiser

Richmond author James Branch Cabell knew FOMO when he wrote: “There is not any memory with less satisfaction than the memory of some temptation we resisted.” Don’t resist the April 16 “Night in Mr. Cabell’s Richmond.” library.vcu.edu/about/events…
