Walter W. Hartford, Jr. films, 1942-1943.

The collection comprises one 16mm film (approximately 10 minutes long), and two video cassette copies, a master and a research copy. The film includes images of the Northeastern University campus on Huntington Avenue, both interior and exterior views, students participating in various academic and extracurricular activities, and fraternity houses. The film documents only the original Class of 1944, now the Class of 1943, and appears to depict engineering students. It is a candid record of student life, including footage of a baseball game, card playing, leapfrog, a mock classroom lecture, a drafting class, an engineering class held in a machine shop, probably in the basement of Richards Hall, and various stunts. The film is shot in black and white, and is silent.
