Sargent Student Studying, ca. 1930s
A Vintage Photos Theme Park photo for the theme of college memories (your own or someone else's).
This is a real photo postcard of a female student sitting at a desk and pretending to read a book as she poses for a photo. On the back of the card is an Azo stamp box design (with squares in the corners) that indicates a time frame ranging from 1924 to 1949.
A small "Sargent" pennant on the wall above the desk (see a cropped version of the photo for a better view of the pennant) suggests that the woman was a student at Sargent College, which is known today as the Boston University College of Health and Rehabilitation Sciences: Sargent College.
An enlargement of the bookshelf on the desk revealed the following titles: Textbook of Anatomy and Physiology, 9th ed., College Zoology, by Heg[ner], and Organic Chemistry.
I was able to identify the first book as the ninth edition of Textbook of Anatomy and Physiology, by Diana Clifford Kimber, Carolyn Elizabeth Gray, and Caroline E Stackpole, which was published by Macmillan in 1934.
The second book, College Zoology, was authored by Robert W. Hegner and was also published by Macmillan, with a third edition in 1932 and a fourth in 1936.
Although I didn't attempt to track down details about Organic Chemistry, the presence of the other two books confirms that this photo dates to 1934 or later.

I love learning about history of the everyday through your images!
I may have asked you before (so please excuse my repeating myself), but do you pocess the images you post? That is, do you have hard copies of them? Or are they mostly internet found?
I have a certain amount of old images in house, but do not have the discipline to catalog and post them like you do. Certainly appreciate that you do it!
Alan Mays club has replied to raingirl clubraingirl club has replied to Alan Mays clubAlan Mays club has replied to raingirl clubI am wrong; it is not my mother-in-law -- she didn't study in Boston. But in the early part of WW2 she studied to be a nurse in Halifax. And, as a young woman, she looked a little like this woman.
Eerie, but not real.
Alan Mays club has replied to Justfolk clubWhen I first saw her face I thought she looked so familiar - so it was interesting to see Justfolk's comment.
Perhaps she has one of those faces that reminds many of us of someone they knew - or perhaps it's someone famous triggering a false recognition in us.
