              <text>This black-and-white photograph, titled "Johnson Center Dedication 3," was captured by Nate Bowles and features President George Johnson sitting under the statue of George Mason. Taken on April 1, 1996, this image is part of the celebrations marking the dedication of the Johnson Center at George Mason University. It vividly captures a historic moment, emphasizing the university's recognition and homage to its namesake, George Mason, against the backdrop of the newly dedicated center. This event coincided with the culmination of President Johnson's tenure, during which student enrollment more than doubled, highlighting significant growth in the university's size and reputation. This photograph is an excellent example of social documentary photography, capturing a significant group event in the university's history. Stored as a 35 mm negative in Box 23, Page 77, Frame 42 of the Special Collections Research Center at George Mason University Libraries,</text>
