The scrapbook is comprised primarily of photographs, and also contains programs for various campus events relating to the pharmacy fraternity of Kappa Psi, as well as the Y.W.C.A and the Annual Junior Vaudeville Show.  The scrapbook also includes commencement programs from 1926, several dance cards, Homecoming game programs from 1923, tags and place cards, and a green freshman rook lid and ribbon.
