Plate 29 of 48 in the 1930 edition of Franklin Survey Company's Real Estate Plat-Book of the City of Trenton and Borough of Princeton, Mercer County, New Jersey. This plate depicts the Coalport/North Clinton neighborhood of Trenton, where the Normal and Model School campus was located--the school buildings are located on the lot at the corner of Clinton Avenue and Perry Street, while the dormitories are situated along Model Avenue, across from the main campus. By the end of the 1930s, the college had moved to the Hillwood Lakes Campus, and by the end of the 1950s most of this neighborhood had been razed in the name of "urban renewal." The site of the Normal and Model Schools is currently occupied by the U.S. Grant Intermediate School.
Note that this volume is not considered part of the same physical collection as the State Normal and Model Schools collection, instead being part of Trentoniana's historical maps.

The first issue of The Seal was focused on the history and activities of the Class of 1911 and included sections on “class prophecies,” “statistics” of each student, a calendar of the year’s past events, poems, ditties and songs, vignettes of events in each department and hall (dorm) life, listings of the literary societies as well as social clubs (such as “the red mice” and “the clammy six”), a group portrait of the class and some of the societies and clubs, and advertising from Trenton businesses. The seniors were listed in a directory and did not have individual portraits. The next yearbook, 1912, had a similar format, but also included a list of faculty members, as well as photographs of the campus buildings. Starting in 1915, there were individual portraits of graduating seniors (1913 had individual portraits as well, but not 1914). The format remained fairly consistent afterward, however a few issues from the 1920s also have the Juniors, or class of February of the next year listed in the book with the previous May graduates. The Yearbook Club had several name variations, including: Year-Book Club, Year Book Club, or just “Yearbook” or “Seal.”
The collection is complete from 1911 until The Seal ceased publication in 2017. No issue was printed in 1944 due to World War II restrictions.
In addition, there are a few folders of ephemera, correspondence, photographs, obituaries, and other clippings taken from books formerly belonging to Vivian Rolandelli, Kenneth Weber, and Jessie Turk.
