'In connection with the project of

"In 1895 the daughters of a member
Of the class of 1906, to which Cooper
belonged, presented to the library an
album Of silhouettes or profile por-
traits of portion of the class, which
Is valued as by far the earliest collec-
ton of class pictures. With these
were included few silhouettes, not of
graduates, and one labeled In the for
