Background

Biographical / historical:

From RMC's official website:

"The Boydton Society consists of Alumni who graduated 50 or more years ago from Randolph-Macon College. New members are inducted each Spring at the Boydton Society Annual Reunion, celebrated during Commencement Weekend with a series of special events."

The Boydton Society exists to recognize senior alumni of the College, promote friendships among them, and to foster a close association between them and the College.

Arrangement:

The pieces of the collection are sorted in regular folders based on the date of the publication and or event and alphabetical. The folders are titled "Old Grads" until the name was changed to "Boydton Society" in 2007.
