About This Item
Vassarion Yearbook, 1893. 9.5" x 7.25" inches. Poughkeepsie, New York. 183 pages. Original tan boards with gilt title and Vassar College seal. Yearbook contents include advertisements at beginning and end, various lists of committees, boards and organizations, literature written by students and faculty, songs and more material relevant to class members. Featured clubs include the Shakespeare Club, Dickens Club, Tennis Club, Floral Society and Hellenic Society. Faculty editorials as well as student essays and satirical pieces noting important or humorous events that took place. In a student essay titled "Manual of Etiquette" addressing faculty, the text reads "Don't be too easily satisfied with your students' work. Always suggest some authority unconsulted, some stone left unturned...Don't recognize the fact that the haystack must be searched all through to find the needle." The yearbook was put together by the graduating class as a souvenir for departing students to remember their time together. Those memories would have been especially poignant for female students relatively new to higher education. Scuffing and staining to both boards. Crack on inside hinge with text block partially detached. Pages clean. Overall good condition.
