Reliving Lehigh’s 1876 moment: campus life, student voices, and the making of an era.
This edition captures a snapshot of Lehigh University in November 1876, from the South Bethlehem campus. It blends memory, tradition, and the practical work of students in fields like civil, mechanical, and mining engineering, alongside essays, societies, and campus events that shaped the year.

It’s a window into how students balanced study with clubs, athletics, and social life, while looking ahead to the next steps in their education. The volume also records the roles of student editors, faculty guidance, and the evolving culture of the university during this period.
