Photographic Prints, circa late 1940s-early 1950s
Scope and Contents
The Mayde Joss collection consists of 33 small format black-and-white photographic prints and 13 35 millimeter color slides. The photographs appear to date from the late 1940s or early 1950s, Joss’s early years as housemother for Phi Delta Theta fraternity. The photographs depict young men, presumably members of Phi Delta Theta, and young women in social situations. The images are informative for their casual, informal reflection of period recreational activities.
A small number of general biographical items, mainly newspaper articles relating to Joss, dating largely from the time of her tenure with Northwestern University’s chapter of Phi Delta Theta, also are included in the collection.
