LIBL'R SEChH iFOtnt In November of 1857, the secret societies at Brown published: a paper containing fraternity notices, Phi Beta Kappa, an ed- itorial and an obituary on the recently-defunct senior show. This was called the Brown Paper and was the direct ancestor of the present Liber Brunensis. By 1861 it had expanded to four pages and was called The Brunonian. In 1869 the present title was adopted. By 1881 the Liber was in pamphlet form with a full 80 pages. Seven years later the first photos appeared, stiff group shots, portraits of young men in high collars or blurred impres- sions of Manning Hall. BY 1860, the paper had increased to four full pages and was called the Brunonian. - A cg'f fiDira WDtuite, i POIRBIH. IHl. M Nor 1.

other than the increase in size and the addition of a hard cover, the year- book made few changes between the 1880's and the Second World War. In 1944, due to shortages, there was no Liber and a combined '44 - '45 book was published the following year. The concept of the big yearbook devel- oped after the war and in 1950 the first of the nine by twelve or big Libers appeared. This innovation allowed greater emphasis on the use of large pictures combined with a minimum of copy. The 1958 Liber, Volume C, i1s such a book. It contains over 500 pictures. 1888 LIBER carried first photo. Frosh foothball eleven and ad for dictionary warmly endorsed by Horace Mann of Class of 1819 are from 1891 Liber.
