The Archive of South Jersey Law School, Camden, New Jersey, for 1931 (yearbook)
1931
Rutgers University–Camden has its roots in the South Jersey Law School, which was founded in 1926. The law school's original yearbook was called "The Archive." The first volume of the yearbook (The Archive 1930) is not available at Special Collections, and it is unknown whether a copy of it still exists in any private collection. Volume 2, for the year 1931, is the oldest yearbook that we currently have in Special Collections. A list of 1930 graduates who were admitted to the bar after graduation was included in the 1931 yearbook. The library copy of The Archive 1931 is missing a portion of page 24. This page shows portraits of the school's administration. It appears that a portrait in the center of page 24 was cut out creating a neat rectangular hole in the page.
