http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/54771265

Scrapbook primarily relates to Crawford's years as a student at the University of North Carolina, 1918-1920. There are, however, a small number of items from his childhood and family; his education at Piedmont College; and his post-UNC activities, including a class reunion, in 1921. His activities at UNC are documented items from his participation in societies; student publications; clubs; sports teams; the student battalion; the 8th International Student Volunteer Convention in Des Moines, Iowa; and university theatrical productions. Photographs include candid shots of Crawford and his friends on campus, sporting events, his future wife, and campus theatrical productions. There is a photograph of Paul Green and several pages of signatures and toasts, among them one from Thomas Wolfe.
