Virginia Clay McClure papers, 1910-1913.

http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/192072496

The Virginia Clay McClure papers include a diary/scrapbook, a photograph album, and other assorted photographs related to Virginia Clay McClure's time as an undergraduate at the University of Kentucky from 1910-1912. The scrapbook includes clippings, small artifacts, programs and invitations, but the bulk of the material is McClure's many personal writings; it follows this experience from her junior through her senior year, 1910-1912. The loose scrapbook items were stuffed in the front of the album and were removed to folders. The photograph album also seems to document this same relevant time period and includes photographs of her classmates many of whom are identified and also mentioned in her scrapbook. It also includes Arbor Day photographs and women playing basketball among other casual snapshots. The loose photographs include pictures of Virginia Clay McClure, classmates at the University of Kentucky, and class trips and events that Virginia attended.
