This collection includes a beige knit Butler University V-neck sweater. It has a large blue “B” patch on the front, as well as three blue stripes on the right sleeve. Also included is a color picture of the sweater on printer paper, although it appears white in the picture rather than beige, and a Butler University Basketball schedule for 1931-1932 from The Campus Club.

The collection was donated by Judy Horst, Butler class of 1962; Ms. Horst’s mother, Josette Yelch, graduated from Butler in 1934 while her father, Edmund C.
