Derived from 16 mm film.

This film was probably intended as a student orientation film. However, there is no sound and the film ends abruptly. A freshman wearing a rat cap with the year 60 on it dates the film to about 1957. The film includes footage of Professor William Graves Carleton.

Image quality varies. Some scenes, such as those of Flavet III, are too dark.
