About This Item
KAPPA ALPHA. ALPHA DELTA PHI, AND PSI UPSILON FRATERNITIES, 1877. This is the 1877 issue of the CORNELIAN, published by 3 fraternities at Cornell University. The book appears to be a kind of school yearbook - but an odd one, with its emphasis - apparently much more important years ago than today - on fraternity life. Each of the fraternities has a few pages devoted to its past years activities. Other campus organizations are recognized as well - such as The Philidor Chess Club, The Ithaca Natural History Society, The Sprague Boat Club, etc, etc. Quite a few very nifty cartoon-type illustrations, too.There are also 43pp of very interesting 19th century advertising. 8 7/8" X 5 3/4" apparently rebound in heavy duty brick-red buckram. EX-FATERNITY LIBRARY. Very minor soiling of front cover, water or other stain top edge near spine intrudes a short way into the top margin of a few pages. Otherwise, superb condition throughout. 109pp + ads.. 1st Edition. Hardcover. Very Good/No Jacket.
