The scrap book belonged to Mary B. Finch, '28. Mary attended Cornell from 1924-1928 and the scrapbook chronicles her days in '24 and '25. In addition to being heavily involved in music, theater, and the social scene - Mary was an avid athlete. The book details her involvement in Intra-class/intramural Baseball, Hockey, Tennis and Basketball. Mary collected some programs and other sports ephemera too.
A highlight is a great photo, by JP Troy (who I collect), of her Freshman Baseball team, and two game action photos.
Here is a link to some of the other sports items found in the scrapbook:
