Harvard College Class of 1853 album belonging to Albert Gallatin Browne, Jr. The album has pages of photographic portraits of members of the Class of 1853, which are interlined with blank pages on which classmates signed their names, birth dates, birth places, and occasional quotations. Browne also added details about some of his classmates' post-graduation activities. At the back of the volume is an index of the members of the Class of 1853, which includes their birth dates and birth places. The class album also functioned as a scrapbook, and was used to record information about class activities and paste in ephemera from events such as Class Day, commencement, class dinners, and reunions. There are also several loose items tucked into the album, including additional class memorabilia, such as a menu for a dinner given by the Harvard president and classmate Charles William Eliot, signed by attendees, a clipping from the 1853 commencement with a review of Browne's reading of his ode, and several other menus.
Mentions the recovery of cotton seized by Browne as the supervising special agent of the treasury during the Civil War.
