Scrapbook of Edith Somborn Issacs (Barnard class of 1906), containing programs from productions, articles from the Barnard Bulletin (of which Isaacs was the associate editor for the class of 1906), event invitations, personal correspondence detailing the planning processes of various Barnard events, dance cards, doodles from class notebooks, and materials from her work as chariman of the Barnard Fund Alumnae Committee. Highlights of the scrapbook include a bulls-eye for handgun target practice, a draft of a 1906 plea for donations to the Barnard fund, and a draft of a Sherlock Holmes inspired satire piece for the 1905 Mortarboard. Also included are materials from "Barnardesia," the copic operetta that Somborn co-wrote with classmate Blanche Marks. ("Barnardesia" made the case for Barnard dormitories, and Somborn invited the Board of Directors to the performance. Soon after, an anonymous donor gave funds for the first dormitory.)
