Scrapbook, 1904 - 1907

 File — Box: 2

Collection Scope and Content Summary

From the Collection:

The Sophie Parsons Woodman Scrapbook contains clippings of newspaper articles about Barnard, amateur black and white photographs, formal portraits, invitations to college events, dance cards, programs, sorority memorabilia from Pi Beta Phi, and play brochures. A highlight of the collection is a place-card from the 1907 Senior Supper, which reads “Everything comes/to those who wait,/and the Lazy Man/waits to greet it/but success comes up/with a rapid gait/to the fellow/who goes to meet it.”

Also included in the collection are press clippings about “Barnard Tree Day,” when the classes planted a tree in the Milbank Quad, as well as instructions and a timetable for the events of the ceremony. A custom box holds materials that are not flat, such as a pressed, dried rose, a flag from Deutscher Kreis at Barnard College, and the original boards of the scrapbook before conservation.
