Scope and Contents
Most of the scrapbooks contained mainly newsclippings; these have been microfilmed (see M-43) and returned to the School. (3v was returned without being microfilmed.) The scrapbooks not filmed contain not clippings but material produced by or for the School. Such material (stationery, programs, announcements, tickets, form letters, brochures, etc.) was also found in the books of clippings; where possible these items were removed and placed in folders, each numbered to indicate the volume from which its contents came: e.g., 1a-1c all contain items from volume 1 (1v). Loose items from volumes not filmed were also put into folders. Most volumes included some or all of the kinds of material listed above; the descriptions below mention only additional materials. This inventory is a corrected version of the inventory that appears on the microfilm.
