Arrangement and Content
The Student Essays sub-group is
an artificial collection of student essays written between 1890 and
1901. Most of the essays are around 20 pages in length, indicating work
of some depth. The essays do not appear to be theses, nor do they appear
to be only senior class essays. Some authors appear more than once, and
none appear to be graduate students. While all of the essays have an
author and title, many include only the graduating class of the author,
not the date the essay was written.
The physical makeup of the
essays is interesting. A few are bound, while others are sewn together
and some are stapled. Some are handwritten, but most are typewritten.
Many of them have ribbons or other decoration on the cover or holding
the piece together. Illustrations found in them are hand drawn,
sometimes in great detail.
The essays themselves are of
some interest, although their informational content is most likely
dated. The topics covered by the essays are quite diverse, ranging from
bread to bridge construction. A large number of the essays seem to
relate to the study of the English language, the mechanical arts, with
agriculture, engineering and woodcarving. Some other topics include
entomology, moulds, music and sewing.
