Instead, the collection has been described at the item level.

However, most of the collection’s items date from approximately 1925 until the late 1930s. Most comprehensively represented are his years as a student at the Drexel Institute of Art, Science and Industry, as well as his time in the 103rd Engineer Regiment of the American National Guard. The collection is largely composed of black and white photographs, including pages from a scrapbook. However, printed materials such as letters, booklets, and maps are also present.

Alumni Association records
UR 08.006 Alumni Association records, 1918-1992, 0.5 cubic feet
The collection comprises six series containing a variety of materials, including correspondence, letters and solicitations, constitutions and bylaws, directories and lists, fliers and brochures, text of speeches, descriptions of programs, summaries of past events, and newsletters. The earliest document in the collection is dated 1895 and the most recent dated 1992. While the materials relating to events and fund raising are more substantial than in the other series, all series have significant gaps. Items appear to have been donated sporadically by several different university offices and individuals who collected them on a haphazard basis. Assignment of folders reflects to some extent the original arrangement, which was inconsistent and in some cases overly detailed.
