 Series

Scope and Contents

From the Collection:

Records of the Class of 1882, dating from 1878 to 1946, consisting of course materials, the class history, correspondence, clippings, photographs, photograph albums, programs and scrapbooks; concerning class meetings and the social and academic activities of members of the class as undergraduates, and information on reunions, careers and activities of members of the class as alumnae. Given that 6C Classes collections include contents from multiple creators, Archives staff have imposed criteria for when files from one individual should be grouped into its own series (a sub-grouping within the collection that gives supplementary description about the creator): series are established when there are ten or more files from one creator present in a collection.
