Lydia Ann (Weethee)
Sparrow Matriculation Card, Waynesburg College graduating class of 1857.
Card on file at the Waynesburg College Alumni Office, Miller Hall, 51 W.
College St., Waynesburg, Pennsylvania 15370.
Dr.
Paul R. Stewart, President of Waynesburg College 1921-1963, as part
of his effort to preserve the college’s history, created the Matriculation
Cards prior to 1934 - the date stamped on the earliest cards.
The source of the information
on this card is unnamed. Many cards in the collection were signed by their
compilers; typically the cards were completed by the graduates themselves
or family members of the graduates who had already passed away. It is presumable
that graduates or family members also completed the unsigned cards.
