The collection includes newspaper articles, dance cards, theatre programs, football programs, ticket stubs and invitations. Among the notable items in the scrapbook are; souvenir programs and newspaper articles about the re-dedication of Cutler Hall in 1947, copies of the "Howard Hall Howler" a newspaper for residents of Howard Hall, newspaper clippings pertaining to Homecoming, dance cards from several Greek dances and a number of programs from the plays performed at Ohio University.
