1901 - 1902 ORIGINAL MANUSCRIPT DIARY AND MEMORY BOOK OF AN ENTHUSIASTIC SYRACUSE UNIVERSITY 'GIRL-NEXT-DOOR' STUDENT

On offer is a charming original manuscript relic of Syracuse University being the 1901-1902 handwritten diary entitled by the author "Being the College Doin's of a Junior". Using a coverless 5.25 x 3 inch flipbook style notepad likely handmade, tied with string, our unknown author, a young woman, leaves many, many clues naming nearly the entire student body over the 84 pages that will assuredly lead local historians and researchers to discover the writer's name. Beginning August 30th 1901 through to 1902 - hard to tell the end month as she lost the thread and then merely noted the day of the week! She writes of going to band practice, football games, chapter meetings [Alpha Phi we believe], lectures and speeches, hearing a sermon by the new Bishop Fowler, trying out for the Mandolin Club, part time jobs, hearing the Prohibition Club 'spiel', Debating Society, entertainments and sports of every season +++ from this incredibly enthusiastic student.
