1947 Commencement invitation for Shirley Norton, and her thank-you card to her family.
The 1928 graduation program and cards of Florence Brown. The cards are from all the gifts Florence received; you can see she noted what each person gave her. Albertine gave her silk undies!
Description of Commencement is from the June 1928 Cottey Bulletin.
Florence graduated this year with an Associate in Education.

savannahstreethassle replied to your post: Cottey Regulations (1936)
Sounds an awful lot like the old code of conduct for Stephens Susies form the 30’s.
That makes sense. :) I can't imagine living under such restrictions.
Cottey Regulations (1936)
I. Guests Guests are expected to observe college regulations. Guests should not go upstairs except by permission from the Dean of Residence.
II. Moving pictures, Plays Students may attend moving pictures or plays in the afternoons and Friday and Saturday evenings when attendance does not interfere with regular college duties or entertainments.
III. Out of Town Visits Occasional out of town visits will be granted with the permission of the parents.
IV. Permission from Home The following activities require permission from home and approval of the Dean of Residence:
Leaving town for occasions not sponsored by the college.
Motoring and horseback riding. (Parents assume responsibility in case of accident.)
V. Smoking Cottey students are forbidden to smoke on or off campus.
It's amazing how many Cottey photos I have that I forget about. Whoops!
Here are some snapshots from the 1915 annual.

Included in the snapshots are women changing clothes, getting their mail, coming back to the dorm with golf clubs, talking on the telephone, weighing oneself, and chatting on a bench beneath a tree.
