Readers should prepare for a virtual trip through time with these eight complete Class Books from the Cornell University Digital Archives. Spanning the years 1897 to 1904, the books, which are each several hundred pages long, feature vivid portrait photographs, short biographies, and other quippy snapshots into college life at the turn of the twentieth century. For instance, the 1897 Class Book reports: "Robert Emanuel Brandeis comes from Louisville, Ky. Although well known in his class, he has taken no active part in its affairs. He graduates in Electrical Engineering." One may also learn the class colors (purple and lavender for 1897), the class cheer ("Zip-a-la, Zip-a-la, Zip-a-la, Boom-ha-ha; Cornell, Ninety-Seven, Rah, Rah, Rah!"), and other cultural tidbits. Everything on the site is freely accessible and printable. However, it should be noted that the files are quite large; the site warns that downloading entire books have been known to crash web browsers.
