Scope and Contents

From the Collection:

This collection consists of dance cards from events spanning the years 1903 - 1935. The majority of dance sponsors were fraternities and sororities. However, there are also dance cards from Sophomore, Junior, and Senior Prom in addition. There are a few duplications of events.

The cards show the name of the organization, the date and location of the dance. Some cards list the dances by name, while others provide just the number of each dance. Other information revealed by the cards includes mottoes, song lyrics, and names of committee members. Most of the cards have retained their cords, but only one or two still have their pencils attached.

Oversize dance cards are contained in a separate folder on top of the cards in Box 2. This folder also contains a small card, apparently used by dance chaperones, to discreetly distribute to immodest dancers as a warning.
