Names of class members appear alternatively above and below the figures. West is the left-most figure in this closeup.
The two most famous members of the class of 1874 were Andrew Flemming West, who established the Graduate College, and Alan Marquand, who founded the Department of Art and Archeology. West is shown in the detail above. Marquand is shown, curiously, out of alphabetical order.
Donated by Ms. Janet Moore, a former resident of Princeton, now a volunteer at Saint Margaret's Thrift Shop, Bellevue, Washington.
