File 3 In the early years, graduates were listed in the Board of Trustee minutes.  There are also some official documents, "President Snyder's Recommended List for Board of Trustees" in the file.  There are some lists missing from the minutes as they were separate lists which are not bound and are lost.  Names of the graduates in instances where an official document or commencement program is not available were photocopied from the Normal School/College Bulletin for that year, or from the 1923 Alumni Register.
