Scope and content
This series includes a handful of photographs and a variety of materials that do not fit in the other series. Of particular interest to the history of Normal schools in general is the work "American Normal Schools: Their Theory, their Workings, and their Results, as Embodied in the Proceedings of the First Annual Convention of the American Normal School Association, Held at Trenton, New Jersey August 19 and 20, 1859." There is also a small and charming collection of dance card/event programs, which were used by young women to schedule with whom they would dance during the evening. Often, as in this collection, the cards were part of a small, printed program of the event which could be worn on the wrist. Finally, this series includes a ca. 1930s Teacher’s College beanie that freshman class members were required to wear.
Note that the photographs that appear in the "Additional Photographs" folder make up a part of Trentoniana's photograph collection, and do not physically appear in this record group.
