Abstract

The Aurora Yearbook was the annual commemoration of students and faculty, as well as student activities and sports, for this institution from 1893 to 1995. With the exception of 1994, when a video formatted in VHS was created with a small booklet in accompaniment, all of the publications were in book form. 1897 was printed as a class composite only and does not include the addtional information about faculty, departments, student organizations, athletics, and students enrolled. The collection is a complete record of publication.
