Semi-Centennial Catalogue
1837-1887

Published in 1891 by the Davidson College Alumni Association, this catalogue is organized into sections with lists of trustees, faculty, students and honorary degree recipients, summary information on students (ages, geographical distribution, occupations), and extracts from the 1843-44 and 1887-87 college catalogues.

Students are divided into Graduates, Matriculates (students who attended college but did not graduate), and Undergraduates (those students attending college at the time of publication in the classes of 1890-1894). Within each section the information is organized by class year. There is an Index of Students that identifies class years. There is also an Additions and Corrections section arranged by class year.

The Semi-Centennial Catalogue sections are keyword searchable PDF files. Because of the condition of the original document, the conversion software could not translate all of the names or words. Using the Index section is the best way to search for names.
