Today I started scanning my first Wallulah from 1932. I was able to scan approximately 1/3 of the pages and edit around 1/2 of those that I scanned. I still have a ways to go before I finish the entire yearbook.
It's really neat to see Willamette University during that time period. I couldn't fathom having a professor with the first name "Egbert." Astonishingly, I saw one woman's hairstyle that is quite common today.
But there are significant differences in time. For instance, a piano professor was in complete profile to the camera and seemed to be wearing tinted glasses. Perhaps he was blind? All in all, some very interesting people have studied and worked at Willamette. The Wallulahs are such an amazing resource to study the history of the university.
