Compiled during Gotthold's undergraduate and Law School years at Harvard University, this scrapbook also includes some material relating to his 10th class reunion. It provides a good picture of student life and activities at Harvard University at the turn of the century. It includes: curriculum material (exams, grades); ephemera relating to community and social events (menus, tickets, programs, dance cards, receipts); photographs of himself, his room, and the Harvard campus; correspondence; some scattered objects (a piece of fur, dried flowers, metal number plate); newspaper clippings; and an "anthropometric chart" measuring his physical fitness.
