Abstract:
This collection contains skits, songs, and related material concerning Swarthmore College.

Organized in two series, and arranged chronologically within the series.

  1. Songs and cheers
  2. Skits

The skits in this series were previously catalogued under Series 12, Secondary works on Swarthmore College. Beginning in 1997, College Archives were re-processed into more specific topics. Other materials in the old Series 12, including histories of the College, are currently catalogued in RG 6/Series V: Reference, stored in the FHL workroom. Original letters concerning the history of the College and a speech by Everett Hunt have been removed to Miscellaneous Manuscripts, with acid-free photocopies filed in RG 6/V.

The Songs in this series were previously catalogued in under "Miscellaneous."
