Class of 1913 Record Book, 1936, 1941, 1946, 1951, 1956, 1960
Scope and Contents
Collection consists of record books from alumni, put together for reunions. These record books include life updates and greetings from individual alumni over the years after their graduation, often in the form of letters written to the class and compiled by the class secretary. Different class years chose different titles for their record books, and in some cases the titles change for one class' record books over the years (e.g. Class of 1918 - The Phoenix and later The Purple Page). The 2000s include print-outs of electronic record books, and CDs with a PDF copy of the record book. Instances of more frequently published newsletters with similar content to record books (individual alumnae updates) are included in this collection. The collection also includes various years of Continuing Education / Davis Scholars record books.
