Synopsis

This book is a 1931 yearbook-style record of the year's events and student body of North Central College in Naperville, Illinois, which was in its 54th year at the time of printing. At a time when tensions were high throughout the world and cities were suffering through the Great Depression, this book provides an optimistic and fascinating glimpse into college life in the Midwest. The book is filled with portraits and candid photographs of the students and faculty, along with extensive coverage of both men's and women's athletics, the debate team, college clubs, and the student body's extracurricular activities. Most endearing is the annual "Classical Banquet" wherein students are required to fully engage with an evening of classical literature, food, dress, and conversation. With great variety and depth, this book provides an important historical record of how students lived and learned during this period.
