Scope and Contents

The Alumni Reunion Class Books collection contains published "Class of..." books which are given as mementos to alumni at milestone reunions, e.g., 10th, 25th, 50th. The books were published in varying formats, some with hard covers, others with plastic spines, and some which are booklets with stapled covers. Each class year is not represented nor is every milestone reunion for a particular class year.
