Background

Scope and content:

This collection consists of a soft bound composition book that served two purposes. During the 1893-1894 Washington and Lee University academic year, it served as a register of students and where they boarded. The students are listed alphabetically by last name. Also included is the name of their parent or guardian, the primary residence, the initials of their advisor, their studies, hours per week (academic?), and the name of the boarding house they were staying at, usually a person's name. Of particular note is that Lexington photographer, Michael Miley, allowed students to board at his house this particular year.

The second purpose was to document student information for 1895-1896 including name, primary residence, name of the school and location they came from, and the name of their principal.
