February 1911, Commencement issue of The Signal, a student-produced newspaper from The College of New Jersey in Ewing, NJ. In the Normal School years, the school periodically held graduations during February and June.

Established in 1885, The Signal is one of the older student newspapers in the country, and among the oldest collegiate weeklies. Starting as a literary publication, it evolved from being a booklet to a full news publication with different sections covering a variety of campus events.

This small booklet records the Class Day exercises for the Normal School's Class of 1911, depicting the class roster, the order of exercises, the names of students performing, and officers of various bodies. Of particular note is the mention of the "Suffragette Office of 'The Seal,'" referring to what seems to have been an all-female cohort on the staff of the school newspaper. No transcription.
