At the center is the school insignia, and at the bottom are the publisher and author's names. All of the printing is in black. At the beginning are a title page, a table of contents, a calendar for 1873, a listing of schools within the university, and an introduction to the campus government. The catalog includes listings of the faculty and instructors, as well as listings for enrolled undergraduates and graduates. Also included are course requirements for all levels of study; fees for housing, books, enrollment, and more; general campus information; samples of examinations for the different schools; and more. At the end are many advertisements for text books. Listed under first-year law school students is William W. Temple, grandson of William Workman, on page 97. The listing includes his address in Massachusetts. In fair condition, the artifact has much damage to the cover including creases, dented corners, much soiling, foxing, losses, stains, wear, and overall wear; many of the pages are also soiled, have some foxing, folded corners, and are browning.Lexicon
