The Moravian Seminary and College for Women was created in 1913 (but traces its roots back to the Bethlehem Female Seminary founded in 1742). The present album, therefore, represents the life of one of the very first graduating classes from the newly re-launched college. In addition to images of her classmates, Ursula also records her social life both in and out the college shere, and also includes a selection of images taken by friends(?) who had been able to travel to Europe, North Africa and the Middle East (returning via Cuba) and also the Rockies.
