Content and structure elements
Scope and content
The collection consists primarily of original pen-and-ink sketches by Phyllis Mulford ’47 that were used in the production of the Class of 1947 Yearbook. Although they were scheduled to be disposed of after printing, Ms. White retrieved them from the yearbook office, had them mounted and framed, and displayed them for many years in her home. Subjects depicted in the sketches include various scenes of nursing activity and student recreational life; a detailed list is given below.
The collection also includes a book of laboratory exercises, the Anatomy and Physiology Laboratory Manual, used by Ms. White during her time as a nursing student. It also contains a copy of Three Arches, the Class of 1947 Yearbook, with extensive inscriptions to Ms. White.
