Abstract
College Archives has been collecting class material dating back to the Class of 1879. Classes of 1961-1970 records consist of individual class notes, examinations, papers and class letters, correspondence, photographs, scrapbooks, songbooks, obituaries, as well as reunion materials of the same nature.
Arrangement
This collection brings together ten record groups that are arranged chronologically, one per graduating class. However, since some materials are placed in a class record group based on when they were created, and not by whom, materials relevant to a class may exist in more than one series.
