Scope and Contents

From the Collection:

The Beloit College Register lists students who attended Beloit College and the Academy from 1862-1872. The main unique feature of the "Beloit College Register" publication is the lists of college and Academy students in the Army during the Civil War, including the "Hundred Days Men." There are also lists of other things that can be found duplicated elsewhere, such as in the members of the Delian, Alethean, and Archaean Union Literary Societies, alumni, faculty, trustees, commencement week programs, meeting calendars, courses offered, club and student organization members, prize declamations, Junior Exhibit, etc. Later volumes feature a lengthy editorial about the recent school year, written by the Register's student staff. This narrative is similar to what might appear in a yearbook.

The handwritten bound volume of "Record of Students in Beloit College" contains names, class years, years admitted, ages, parents, hometowns, and miscellaneous remarks, as well as a short list of honorary degrees conferred. It covers the years 1847-1892.

The Porter Book contains much similar data, as well as his own "subsequent facts" about some students listed. This is mostly biographical information. The bound volume is labeled 1847-1918, but in fact only covers through 1913.
