<\/a><\/center><\/p>\nSo check out the 1924 cover<\/a>, when Calvin Coolidge was the president. The governor of Alabama was William Woodward Brandon, a man-of-the-people type who helped build roads and the port in Mobile. He was made nationally famous in 1924 for his role in the Democratic National Convention. <\/p>\n Across the state lawmakers and the University of Alabama were playing political games that would cripple Auburn for years<\/a>. Money was tight on campus, there was a big controversy between the Alabama Cooperative Extension Service and the Alabama Farm Bureau Federation. By the end of the year the poor performance of a football team and general budget woes would be the beginning of the end for President Spright Dowell. It was a trying time.

George H.W. Bush, Jimmy Carter, Marlon Brando, Don Knotts and Doris Day were also born that year. <\/p>\n Anyway, you can walk through all the covers if you start here<\/a>.
