Class of 1915 photo album, 1912 - 1939, bulk: 1912 - 1915
Scope and Contents
The Class of 1915 photo album documents class activities and Greek events of the Class of 1915, including the Tank Scrap and Greek house parties. Types of materials within the album include black-and-white photographs and newspaper clippings.
Of particular interest may be the photographs of campus scenery and buildings, and documentation of the 1913 flood in the Lafayette area. Some photographs identify class members through handwritten notes and captions. Herbert S. O’Brien, class president and captain of the football team, signed an inscription at the first page of the photo album and is identified in most photographs.
