The Class of 1863 - These are images from an 1863 "yearbook" that was compiled for the class. It has the signatures of each student as well as some extra info like their town of residence or fraternity affiliation. The pictures seen here are on the blurry side because they were taken with a digital camera. The pages could not be scanned properly because the book is too large and fragile to put on the scanner bed.

The Peerless Quartet Sings "On The Banks" circa 1915 (.mp3 format) - The Peerless Quartet, (known as the Columbia Quartet prior to 1908), was a vocal group from the acoustic (pre-electric recording) era. The lead singer and later manager was Henry Burr. The group made hundreds of recordings between 1904 and 1928, including popular versions of hits such as Sweet Adeline, By the Light of the Silvery Moon, Let Me Call You Sweetheart, and I Want a Girl Just Like the Girl That Married Dear Old Dad.While no official "Billboard" chart existed during the Peerless Quartet's career, the magazine's staff archivist Joel Whitburn, using a variety of sources, estimates the group had 108 "charting" singles, the 9th-most of the pre-rock period.
