Abstract: This collection contains a scrapbook compiled by Harvard undergraduate William Lambert Morse (AB 1874) from 1870 to 1874. The album includes examinations for admission; annotated test papers for courses and schedules; and class ranking lists and class schedules. Also included are price lists for rooms; a Class Day circular and menu for a class supper; and a receipt for subscription to Volume 1 of The Magenta, a student newspaper and the precursor to The Harvard Crimson. Poems cut from newspapers and a few programs for Boston concerts are also in the scrapbook. There are some loose materials tucked inside the front cover, including programs for Pi Eta productions, programs for Boston concerts, and lunch and dinner menus from The Mount Pleasant in Bretton Woods, New Hampshire (1911). Of particular interest is an example of hazing at Harvard in the form of a letter from S.L. Morrison (AB 1873) to an unnamed freshman student chastising him for his failure to treat sophomores to cigars at the local apothecary, Hubbard’s.
