Today was my last day at the University Archives. Bertha, the Reference Archive curator presented me with a going away gift. The day before Bertha gave me a tour around the Reference Archive (the most used archive within the Archives) and showed me the old Makio yearbooks from OSU. Makio means reflection or mirror in Japanese. A particular Makio edition stood out, for me at least. The cover is a green-blue and the depiction is physically raised. A man and a woman are lounging on either side of a buckeye tree, dressed in Roman togas. Two mountains are posed in the background.
As a going away memorabilia Bertha gave me the 1925 edition that I liked.

Hi Laine: That's a really nice book cover! I'm curious, though...if this is a yearbook, did they have another of that year? I'm also curious about why there's a Japanese yearbook in the Archives.
