Caviness Hector Brown was a student in the Trinity College Law School from 1919-1921. During that time, he was active in university athletics, and pitched for Trinity's baseball team. He also participated in the debate team and the Glee Club and helped to found the Page for Governor Club, of which he was president. He graduated from the Law School in 1921.
Contains photographs, news clippings, notes, event programs and memorabilia relating to Trinity College and other subject matter from 1918-1921.
The photographs were included in a 39-page scrapbook created by Caviness Hector Brown. The pages were originally string-bound in a patent scrapbook published by the College Memorabilia Company, with the Trinity College seal on the cover. They were later stapled into small packets, grouped loosely by subject.
These are searchable subject entries for this collection. Performing a search on these subjects in the Duke University Libraries online catalog will bring up other related research materials.
This scrapbook contains autograph pages, photographs, clippings, and memorabilia from Brown's extracurricular life at Trinity College from 1920-1921. The major subjects of the photographs are Trinity athletics/athletes (football, baseball, basketball, track and tennis), student life (including a section on Trinity women), the May Day Festival and scenery (including what appears to be a mill). Some of the photographs are identified. The clippings relate to athletics events, the Debating Club, visiting speakers, campus incidents and cultural trends, and North Carolina political news. One clipping reports a serious hazing incident in which a student was stabbed. The final page includes a miniature wooden doll, labeled "Virginia Hicks," a Class of 1925 Trinity College student. Pages were placed in archival folders, and loose items in envelopes for preservation. Arranged approximately by date (in original page order).
