This scrapbook contains materials from two alumnae: Lucile (Cross) Russell and her daughter Jeanne (Russell) Janish. Cross' portion covers her high school education in Fairbury, Nebraska from 1887 to 1889, several years at the Jacksonville Female Academy (in Jacksonville, Illinois) through May 1892, and her four years at Vassar through her graduation with the class of 1896. During her time at Vassar, Cross saved concert programs (off-campus and by the Vassar Department of Music), theater programs (off-campus and by the Philalethean Society), a few pieces of correspondence with friends, songs, forms from the college, some academic materials, several photographs, and documents from traditions (including Trig Ceremonies, Founder's Day, Class Day, Commencement, a class reunion, and Thanksgiving). Russell's section of the scrapbook mainly covers her four years at Vassar from 1920 through 1924, beginning with documents from traditional freshman activities. Other traditions mentioned include the Mohonk trip, Junior Party, Halloween, Founder's Day, Tree Ceremonies, Commencement, the Junior-Sophomore Debate, and the Daisy Chain. Russell preserved programs from plays and concerts, including some by the Philalethean Society and the Glee Club. During her time at Vassar, Russell participated in the Choir and saved a variety of materials from her experience. She was also a member of VC Granddaughters and served as a fire captain in both Olivia Josselyn House and Main. The end of the scrapbook relates to her joining Phi Beta Kappa, graduation from Vassar, and acceptance to study geology at Stanford University (she would be the first woman at Stanford to graduate with a master's in the field).
