Compiled by Theodosia Elmyra Conway (circa 1903-1979), a member of the Fisk class of 1924. She went on to study at Chicago Normal College and was a teacher in Chicago's schools for 40 years. The snapshot photographs are generally charming but uncaptioned. The ephemera consists mostly of programs for music recitals and other campus events.
