Antique 1910 edition of La Vie, the official yearbook of the Pennsylvania State College (Penn State). This historical volume provides a comprehensive look at campus life over a century ago, featuring portraits of the junior class, fraternity group photos including Phi Sigma Kappa, and dedicated sections for athletic clubs such as the Wrestling Club and the 'S' Men. The interior pages remain remarkably crisp with clear black and white photography and decorative green borders, while the exterior suede or soft leather cover shows significant age-related wear and fraying at the edges.

Few women in what has been a male dominant school. There is a signed page by the new president of the school, Dr. Edwin E. Sparks. The book not only covers the students but also fraternity, sports, other activities. Cool advertising. The varsity football is a treasure to look from its early days with photos and its stories. As for condition, soft leather has some issues due to its age. Some loss of leather around the binding area. Some handling wear as well as some slight shedding. As for the inside, all the pages are intact. The edge of the pages is gilded. There was a section of 2 pages that appeared to have been stuck together by a tiny speck. The only damage was just that speck of surface tear. No stain, tear, or water marks. There is an owners name inside the first pg, a graduate of 1910. The 1st pg has an embossed school seal. There are 418 pg.
