1937 Wesleyan University Yearbook Middletown Connecticut HC

This 1937 yearbook titled 'The Olla Podrida' is published by Wesleyan University. It's Volume Seventy - Nine, copyrighted in 1937. The book is in acceptable condition. There's rubbing and edgewear on the cover and spine, and the corners are lightly scuffed. The spine has cracked, but the binding is tight. The edges of the text block have some minor soiling, and there's ink writing on the front endpaper. The bottom corner of the half - title page is dog - eared, and the pages have smudges from reading. The text block has darkened a bit over time, but it's still easy to read. It also includes the 1937 commencement program.

This yearbook is a great collectible to flip through and get a sense of what life was like at Wesleyan University in 1937. To use it, just gently open the pages and enjoy the photos and stories. When handling, make sure your hands are clean to avoid adding more smudges. Since the spine is cracked, be extra careful when opening it wide to prevent further damage. Store it in a dry and cool place to keep it in the best condition. If you want to show it off, you can place it on a bookshelf, but avoid direct sunlight as it can cause the pages to fade faster.
