Description

The Mary Josephine Hartwick VPI Memorabilia and Scrapbook contains a scrapbook filled with photos of the VPI campus as well as inlaid tickets to both on and off campus events in the mid 1920s. The photos feature the scrapbook creator, Mary Josephine Hartwick, along with her friends during her tenure at VPI. The time in which Hartwick attended VPI was a trying one for women. One of the first female students at VPI, she endured having water thrown at her by cadets and was forbidden from being in the school yearbook. Included in the collection are a VPI tie tack and belt buckle, a track medal for shot put, and a plaque that reads "Founding Members." In addition to the scrapbook, there are many loose photographs stored in the collection.
