Commencement: Group Photograph, To 1911
Scope and Contents
The series consists of eleven four-by-five inch glass plate negatives accompanied by corresponding contact prints. The negatives date from the period 1906-1911[?] and feature views of the Northwestern University campus and of University events (including a May, 1908, interscholastic track meet and commencement, ca. 1911). One additional contact print depicting Evanston's Grosse Point Lighthouse is unaccompanied by a negative. Negative emulsions are in fair to poor condition with considerable clouding, flaking, and loss of detail. The negatives with their contact prints are filed individually in folders. There is also a folder of correspondence.
