Note that the connection with Hervey Studdiford is somewhat tenuous, as he likely graduated no later than 1895. The Society did occasionally receive visits from alumni, or It may be an unnamed younger brother or relative of Hervey's. But without a first name there is no way to confirm this Studdiford's identity.

With this certificate, the Thencanic Society shows its appreciation for its President. Although no name is given, Samuel Wood was elected President in September 1893. The certificate may also refer to the previous president, Hervey Studdiford. Transcription included.

At the end of the 1904-1905 academic year, the Thencanic Society held a reunion banquet for its members and alumni, the product of which was this booklet. The event included a number of speeches by past Thencanic Presidents (and James M. Green). Perhaps most importantly, the booklet elaborates the names of the Thencanic's presidents through the February 1905 term. A partial transcription, covering only the autographs, is included.

A note: Trentoniana owns two copies of this booklet, which are identical aside from the autographs section. The first three pages of the attached PDF cover the entirety of the first copy, while the final page is the only unique part of the second.

Perhaps in response to the membership's rowdy behavior, the Thencanic Society established a committee of three students to assign seats for each member. Following a brief report, a chart includes the names of all of the Society's members at this time. Transcription included.

A record of the finances of the Thencanic Society, most likely from the start of Ryke Ely's term as treasurer (elected February 1895).
