About this Item
Hand made scrap book with 46 original pieces from Worcester Academy, 1909-1910. Most pages have hand written notes from G.E. Hubbard describing the ephemera. Quite exceptional! Hubbard's paper on the German Kaiser and British Empire is a particularly interesting read. Hubbard was from East Falls, Philadelphia (1892-1950).
