Class of 1892 records

This collection contains a minute book from the class of 1892. The first pages of the minute book are dedicated to drafting a temporary constitution by which the rules of order were established. Following the provisional drafting process, the Class of 1892 addresses various issues on Haverford's campus through the creation of committees dealing with decision-making. This included the formation of committees on "Class-colors," "Base-ball," "Athletics," "Cricket," "Class Day," and "Class Supper." Additionally, the class' decisions often influenced current events on campus. When one of the members of the class, "Dick" Brinton, was banned from the school dining center for singing and throwing bread, the class appealed to a professor and President Sharpless, ultimately overturning the ban. Additionally, when hazing incidents resulted in the destruction of college property, the class raised funds to compensate for the damage. In addition to college-related matters, the minute book also possesses information regarding class-specific and personal activity. It mentions reunion dinners in 1893, 1901, 1902, 1903, and 1908. It also contains several newspaper clippings and invitations concerning the marriage of its members at various times. Newspaper clippings and letters of notification for deaths of class members are scattered throughout these marriage notifications, residing in chronological order. Finally, various materials including "Ye Friendly Play House: No. 13," "Hragh-Hu-Hrough: Published Once," a program for the 1892 Commencement, a record of GPA rankings for the class of 1892, and a program for the 1893 Commencement. The last written pages contain a permanent constitution for the class of 1892 and various charts to track money. Next to the back cover of the book reside two drawings of "Willie at the phlute" by Maxwell Parrish.
