Additional Description

Provenance

Because the current accessioning system was not used until January 1986, it is not possible to know exactly the dates of acquisition of materials received before that time. However, notes on file indicate that the scrapbook may have been a gift of John A. Ecker (Class 1923) sometime before 1938.
