This book, published in 1909 by the students of the Lowell Textile School, chronicles the school's history and campus culture from its inception through the early 1900s. At the time the school focused on textiles, offering courses on the wool, cotton, design, and chemical aspects of textile creation. Athletics and social events were celebrated, with the book devoting multiple pages to athletic events, photos, and a section on the school's social clubs.
