About this Item
Original printed program and bill of fare for the Yale Class of 1877 Supper held in 1875 at the Sea View House in West Haven, Connecticut. Includes the evening's Bill of Fare as well as a program with a list of toasts and speakers.

It declined in popularity in the mid-twentieth century, and was ultimately demolished and redeveloped in the 1960s. Fine. Traces of previous adhesive to verso. Seller Inventory # 21000348
