The original text contains lists of College trustees and professors and tutors. The book also contains a directory of attending and graduating students, 1834-1892, including information about their occupations and employers, home counties, and sometimes death dates. These entries also note, with a Greek letter, the student's literary society membership if they were in one. The book's printed pages are interleaved with blank pages, which Taylor and possibly other presidents and administrators used to note students who earned degrees up to at least 1918; three or more handwriting scripts appear in the book's pages. Some post-1892 classes are listed in their entirety by graduating year, while other students are just added to the printed alphabetical directory. The lists may not be exhaustive. The volume is in delicate condition, and the first set of pages are are detached from the binding. A handwritten note inside the front cover reads "Never to be removed from President's Office, Wake Forest College. November 7, 1895."</p> </scopecontent> <prefercite id="aspace_db4608f02fd04d3f9fffabaefc7e120f"> <head>Preferred Citation</head> <p>Annotated General Catalogue by University president Charles E.
