Young woman's c.1936 college biology notebooks with unusually broad scope, including lessons in Eugenics, Patent Medicine, Epidemics, Anatomy, Zoology, Nutrition, &c.

Two notebooks, 8.25 x 6.75 inches, approx. 17 manufactured by Yale Co-Operative Corporation and used by Anna Scaramella (1916-2012). The name of the school is not identified on the books themselves, but according to her obituary, Anna graduated in 1939 from Albertus Magnus College in New Haven with a Bachelor's Degree in Romance Languages. Notebooks in Fair to Good condition, loss to the spine cloth of book 2, both with wear and marking to boards. Book 1 contains 170 numbered pages (last 5 leaves excised), including 34 pages with drawings ranging from typical diagrams of bean germination and plant cells, to animal diagrams (very nice crayfish and grasshopper), and a pleasantly unusual illustration of a microscope's mirroring using a typeform to show a close-up letterform in reverse. Book 2 is used for coursework through page 127, with some additional notes on Latin grammar on 131-148—the content otherwise centers around biology, physiology, and public health. Approx. 10 leaves are exci
