Description: One of a kind doesn’t even begin to describe this piece of history. It features signatures from the fellows of the Calhoun College (now called Grace Hopper College) at Yale University. Its text celebrates the stepping down of John Charles Schroeder, a Master (now Head of College) of Calhoun. Wikipedia is here: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Grace_Hopper_College The document is 14x12 on a heavy paper. It does show some tape damage on the corners and has some heavy creases and folds. It does have some discoloration but no tears or cut damage aside from a slight chip in the top left corner. The signatures on it are all signed in different pens because as I understand it, this document stayed in the fellows’ lounge of Calhoun College for the fellows to sign over the course of a year. In order of the documents signatures, these are the ones I can identify and a brief line of their role or awards: William Richard Emmsay (unknown spelling) - unknown Kenneth Cornell - French Research Scholar Namesake, Former Professor, and Author Robert B—— - Unknown John R.
