(EDUCATION.) Scrapbook kept by a Fisk University student in 1920. 82 photographs and 22 pieces of ephemera mostly inserted into 25 scrapbook leaves. Quarto, 9 x 10 inches, original cloth, worn; album leaves detached, quite worn and brittle, the contents generally with minor wear and ready to move on from the scrapbook without regret. Nashville, TN and Chicago, IL, circa 1920-1922


  • Notes: Compiled by Theodosia Elmyra Conway (circa 1903-1979), a member of the Fisk class of 1924. She went on to study at Chicago Normal College and was a teacher in Chicago's schools for 40 years. The snapshot photographs are generally charming but uncaptioned. The ephemera consists mostly of programs for music recitals and other campus events.
