This rare 1940 edition of The Gumbo, the official yearbook of Louisiana State University, captures life at the Ole War Skule just before WWII. A major highlight is the Varsity Baseball section celebrating the 1939 SEC Championship under Coach Harry Rabenhorst. The book features beautiful Art Deco cover art and extensive sections on Greek life, campus organizations, and student portraits. While the spine shows fraying and the corners are worn, the internal pages and binding are sound.
This is an essential acquisition for LSU alumni, sports collectors, or genealogists looking for 1940s student records. This volume provides a deep look into the military traditions and social atmosphere of a pre-war campus. An exceptional piece of Louisiana history that serves as a high-quality historical reference and a nostalgic collector item.
Item condition: Vintage condition with visible fraying on top and bottom of spine and worn corners. Internal pages show natural yellowing but remain clear and securely bound.
