Photographs of early School of Journalism presses and typesetting machinery are also included. Numerous unidentified people make up many of the images. Historical Note: These are negatives removed from the attic of the School of Journalism. Some seem to have been used in the Savitar. Many are damaged, especially on the corners. The collection was kept in original order. Many negatives are undated; however, the content restricts them to the first decades of the 20th century.
