About This Item
Philadelphia: Donaldson and Co., [1881]. 118pp + [14]pp illustrated adverts. 8vo., printed wrappers. Well-illustrated. Lightly-soiled wraps, pale stain and corner crease to rear wrap; a few ruffled fore-edges to some pages. An otherwise handsome copy; Very Good.
A humorously and amply-illustrated production; a top-of-the line yearbook for this Ivy League school. In addition to a History of the Class of 1881, Class Prophecy, and Class Poem, the yearbook contains much on school societies, clubs, and athletic teams.
There is also a section on "Secret Fraternities" and caricatures of students and faculty members, plus humorous poetry etc. Even one of the advertisements at the end is a spoof: "A Good Looking Young Lady Wants to Secure a Husband from among the Members of the Graduating Class... N.B. -A tall gentleman, with muscular arm, and little side-whiskers preferred."
