Alumni Graduation Record Card Collection

This collection consists of index cards that document the credits, majors, courses taken, and graduation dates of alumni, spanning 1923 through 1958. Given the liberal annotations on the cards, they were likely used to track the degree progress of undergraduate students in the College of Arts and Sciences and ultimately filed away upon the students’ graduation. Many of the cards also contain home addresses and specific curricular information such as grades of individual courses and whether or not the student in question graduated with honors.

The exact information contained on the cards varies by time period, and there are no cards for the years 1937 through 1948. Cards from the 1920s, for example, only identify the calendar year of graduation and do not separate BA students from BS students. Cards from the 1950s, however, separate BA and BS students as well as students who graduated in June of a particular year from those who graduated in August of the same year.
