Academic Calendar, Clark Hall, Brandon College, 1914-1915

Academic calendar for Clark Hall, the girls' residence and original building at Brandon College (Brandon, Manitoba) for the academic year 1914-1915. The 22-page booklet (plus five unpaginated pages of photos) contains a college overview, course information, rules and regulations, fees, relevant dates, and names of girls enrolled for the academic year 1913-1914. Found inside the booklet was a 3.8-cm square envelope with a blue ink image of a maple leaf, upon which is the label, "WESTERN UNIVERSITIES," and at the bottom, "196," and underneath, "CANADA." In fine print above the first label are the words "Overseas Battalion." In the centre of the image are four tiny squares inside of which are drawings that appear to be provincial coats of arms. The envelope likely contained a pin.
