The scanned images shown above are of the program for the Brown University Class Day 1911. It was recently discovered among some family records and artifacts. The original program is a small (5 in. x 6 in.), leather-bound brochure that is held together by a laced and tied leather thong. This made scanning a delicate and difficult process in order to avoid damaging the original family artifact. The page images shown below are not as clear or as straight as I would have liked, but further handling of the document or attempting to unlace the brochure to scan each page individually was not an option.
The last two pages of the brochure contain a roll of the class members of the Brown University Class of 1911. Among the listed members is my maternal grandfather, Everett Shearman Carpenter, and Ira Winsor Knight, the future husband of my grandfather's sister, Ruth Ann Carpenter.
