1904 Graduates

What a difference an era makes. Today, graduation is filled with joy and happiness. In the above pictures, they all look like they just attended a funeral. So serious and somber.

I think back then they thought if you smiled at a camera it would steal your soul.

My thoughts was the difference in picture taking back then as opposed to today.

1903. Nine of the original of the original 18 graduates from the class of 1903.

Was this the first graduating class?
If classes began in the fall of 1900 and it was a 4 year degree, then the first graduating class would have been the spring of '04.
Were there 2 year degrees back then?

As best I can tell, a 3 year degree.

According to the article I sent you via PM, the first classes began in September, 1901. The first graduating class was in 1903. So, they were 2-year degrees. I think the 1st four-year degree was in 1920.

This. Exposures took quite a long time then, and the subjects had to remain perfectly still. Holding a smile in the exact same position is harder than it sounds.
