Beach papers, 1880-1955 1880-1910.

http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/43320579

The Emily K. Beach Papers consist of a scrapbook, writings, memorabilia, biographical information and photographs. Of particular interest is a scrapbook compiled by Beach, 1880-1910. Most of the documents and photographs concern her student years at Mount Holyoke Seminary and College, 1889-1893, including an "Anthropometric Card" that contains "measurements and tests" of Beach (1888), a library card, and concert programs for the Glee, Banjo, and Mandolin Clubs. Other documents relate to the Robbins School in Norfolk, Conn., and the Hillhouse High School in New Haven, Conn., 1884-1888. There is a Women's Christian Temperance Union pledge card from 1880, and Prohibition Party material reflecting her involvement in a mock political convention at Mount Holyoke in 1892. It includes the Prohibition Party campaign textbook, two campaign pins, and an official Mount Holyoke ballot for the United States presidential election. This scrapbook also contains souvenir programs for events and institutions in New York City, including the first U.S. production of Gilbert and Sullivan's The Mikado in 1885, the dedication of the Statue of Liberty in 1886, and an 1887 Catalogue of the Eden Musée, a waxwork museum. Other programs, clippings, and invitations highlight events in Norfolk, New Haven, and Hartford, Connecticut. Several documents (1884-1892) reflect Beach's interest in missionary work. The writings consist of a pamphlet she wrote about the Robbins School, published in 1935. Rounding out the collection are Beach's Mount Holyoke graduation pin, a Mount Holyoke postcard, her obituary, and two copies of her Mount Holyoke senior photograph, 1893.
