W2DSC FCC License, 1955, and Renewal, 1957

From Merv N6NO:

If you are still searching for memorabilia of the old NYU Radio Club, W2DSC, I found something that might be of interest while cleaning out my darkest archives.  It is the original FCC license that I held as trustee for the club starting in 1955.  As I recall, I was elected trustee back then because I was the only member with an Extra Class license, which would allow full operating privileges to guest operators who qualified.

In those days the license period was not renewed when you changed trustee, so it looks like I took over the trusteeship on the existing license in 1955 and then renewed it when it expired in 1957.  Upon renewal it was not customary to re-issue the license as they do today, so a renewal card  was issued in 1957 and both the original license and its renewal card had to be posted or carried by the operator.  This renewal card shows validity to 1962, but I believe I turned over the trusteeship to someone else before its expiration.  I don't think we ever had a trustee from the faculty because they were never hams.  I am attaching a scanned JPG file of the license and renewal.
