The Mary Elizabeth Ewing Scrapbook is dark brown, measures 16.6" x 12", and bears the title "The University of North Dakota Memory Book" on its cover-page. An ownership tag on the second page identifies it as the property of Mary Elizabeth Ewing, and states that she was a member of the Class of 1923, and a resident of Larimore Hall. The next eight pages contain information about Mary's friends, including name, the date they signed the memory book, hometown, birthday, nickname, class year, etc. (A space was provided for photographs, but only two friends are actually pictured.) There follows several pages for recording information about varsity sports, all of them left blank with the exception of the sections for football and basketball. Additional entries were made under the headings "Societies", "Stunts, Spreads, Parties, etc.", "College, Class, and Social Functions", "My Favorites", and "The Faculty." On a page marked "Dormitories at U.N.D.", Mary mounted pictures of Corwin-Larimore and Sayre Halls (still in existence, but no longer used as dormitories), as well as Machie and Budge Halls (since demolished). The next two pages contain photographs of the Main Building (formerly located between Merrifield and Twamley, now the site of the Eternal Flame), Science Hall (demolished), University Commons (now Montgomery Hall), and the old Library Building (now used for administration). The remainder of the book is given over to photographs, notes, programs, and other items of memorabilia. It appears that many more items were part of the scrapbook at one point in time, but have since been lost.
