Scope and Content

One photograph of a graduation event, circa the 1920's.

Date of Accession03 August 2011
Bio History NoteThis photograph is not titled or dated so one can not be sure if it related to Manchester College or not.  It was found with photographs of Manchester College, Mount Morris College and pictures related to the Church of the Brethren.  The image was made by "Rickert Studio, Huntington, Indiana," a town close to Manchester College, so therefore could be Manchester College or a related institution.  Evidence pointing away from Manchester College comes from the lack of individuals dressed in Brethren garb. There might be one man in a Brethren collar at the back table towards the viewer's left. Manchester College Faculty and Staff are not identifable.
Archivist Note

Many panoramic and oversized photographs were rolled up and stacked on a metal shelf in the photograph section of the Archives.  These pictures had become dry and were impossible to unroll.  The Archivist took the photographs outside on an extremely humid and hot summer day.  In about 30 minutes the photographs had relaxed enough to unroll and were brought back into the Library and pressed under books, using archival photo file folders as blotters between pictures.
