Elizabeth (French) Babbott was an avid scrapbooker, and created thorough volumes for each of her four years at Vassar, from 1910 through 1914. She preserved voluminous correspondence with her family, particularly her mother, father, and maternal grandmother. Her letters are expressive and affectionate, narrating her life at Vassar in detail. Throughout her time at Vassar, French was involved in the Christian Association, Students' Association, and Philalethean Society, saving materials related to her activities. French was a theater enthusiast and included programs from concerts and plays she attended, both on and off campus. French also documents her academics, stays in the infirmary, and experiences living in North Hall [Milo Jewett House]. She describes participating in Vassar traditions, including Founder's Day, Commencement, Class Day, Daisy Chain, Mohonk trips, the Senior Parlor, Sophomore and Junior parties, and bonding with 1916's sister classes. She enjoyed close relationships with administrators, particularly Isabel Nelson Tillinghast (Assistant to the Lady Principal and VC 1878), Lady Principal Kendrick, and President James M. Taylor and his family. French led an active social life, with close knit groups of friends at Vassar and at home. She recounts their exploits in correspondence with friends and family, as well as including dance cards, valentines, place cards, invitations, and newspaper coverage of debuts, engagements, and weddings. French also details her interactions with young men (attending football games and parties at Yale, Princeton, and Amherst, inviting male guests to Vassar, throwing coed "house parties" at her home in New Jersey, describing her and friends' negotiating romantic relationships) and saved her correspondence with male friends (including her future husband). This volume covers French's junior year at Vassar. At the beginning of the year, French serves on the Committee for Receiving Freshmen and she documents her role and descriptions of the freshmen in her letters. Later, she attends the YWCA's Eastern Student Conference at Silver Bay, saving materials from the conference and associated service organizations. French maintains her active social life, including a thorough (and humorous) account of the Vassar Junior-Sophomore Promenade, such as when she saw a night watchman at her dorm "standing at the open door with a club and in loud tones telling the suitors to 'go on home,'" and doing the forbidden "one-step" dance in front of the faculty (p. 28). She also attends events including a party at Amherst College, a house party in Connecticut, and a dinner for the Camp Fire Club of America. The volume preserves political materials from the presidential election, particularly in favor of Teddy Roosevelt, as well as press coverage of the political climate at Vassar (pp. 7-8).
