Description

  • Content Description: The three pages of this invitation and program are tied into a folded cover of linen paper. The front cover has intertwined raised initials, S, H, N, I (for Sam Houston Normal Institute), and above them is printed an image in red and blue ink of a Texas flag with the initials S.H.N.I. flying from the top of the flag pole. The first page within the cover is the printed invitation to the Joint Session of the Literary Societies of the Sam Houston Normal Institute, held in Memorial Hall, Huntsville, Texas, May 26, 1900. In the top left corner of the invitation page is a lithographic image by C. A. Wright, Philadelphia, that depicts a variety of scholarly and literary objects arranged on a cloth-covered table. The second page consists of the program for the event. The third page lists the names of nine literary societies: Lone Star, Athena, Baldwin, Houstonian, Philomathean, Eclectic, House, Ross, and Senate. Handwritten in ink on the back of the cover are the words "Mom's graduation program Mary McAlister McCutchan," probably written at a later date by her daughter-in-law Johnnie McCutchan.
