Scrapbook containing photographs, financial records and receipts, activity tickets, newspaper clippings, letters and cards, and other memorabilia of student life. The primary focis of the scrapbook are the College airport and aeronautics.
Many of the photographs depict the College airport, hangar, airplanes, and students in the Flight School. There are two photographs and a program from Amelia Earhart's visit to the College of William and Mary. Hulse's scrapbook includes photographs of an airplane accident, where an airplane had "ground looped" and flipped onto its nose during the landing procedure. Also figuring among the aeronautics-related memorabilia is a letter from the Aeronautics Branch of the Department of Commerce concerning the dangers and prohibition of dropping burning tobacco from planes.
Among the photographs documenting student life, several photographs depict William and Mary students on strike in April, 1932. There is also a certificate of Hulse's initiation into Alpha Kappa Psi in the collection.
