Postcards History
This collection contains a sample of Wilson College postcards at the Hankey Center and Archives.
Postcards became popular at the end of the 19th century when they were called private mailing cards. In 1901, the name changed to postcard. From 1901 until 1907, the back of the card was only used for the address, which is why some older cards in our collection display the sender’s message on the front. The divided back of the card we are familiar with today, became the norm in 1907.
Throughout the early postcard days until the beginning of World War I, German printers dominated the market of colorful cards. American printers improved and increased production during WW I, however, to save ink, left a white border which identifies a card as being from the time between 1915 and 1930.
After 1930, printers used new processes, which created cards that looked as if printed on linen. These cards were popular until 1945 when Photochrom postcards replaced them.

Postcards History
This collection contains a sample of Wilson College postcards at the Hankey Center and Archives.
Postcards became popular at the end of the 19th century when they were called private mailing cards. In 1901, the name changed to postcard. From 1901 until 1907, the back of the card was only used for the address, which is why some older cards in our collection display the sender’s message on the front. The divided back of the card we are familiar with today, became the norm in 1907.
Throughout the early postcard days until the beginning of World War I, German printers dominated the market of colorful cards. American printers improved and increased production during WW I, however, to save ink, left a white border which identifies a card as being from the time between 1915 and 1930.
After 1930, printers used new processes, which created cards that looked as if printed on linen. These cards were popular until 1945 when Photochrom postcards replaced them.

Postcards History
This collection contains a sample of Wilson College postcards at the Hankey Center and Archives.
Postcards became popular at the end of the 19th century when they were called private mailing cards. In 1901, the name changed to postcard. From 1901 until 1907, the back of the card was only used for the address, which is why some older cards in our collection display the sender’s message on the front. The divided back of the card we are familiar with today, became the norm in 1907.
Throughout the early postcard days until the beginning of World War I, German printers dominated the market of colorful cards. American printers improved and increased production during WW I, however, to save ink, left a white border which identifies a card as being from the time between 1915 and 1930.
After 1930, printers used new processes, which created cards that looked as if printed on linen. These cards were popular until 1945 when Photochrom postcards replaced them.

This collection contains a sample of Wilson College postcards at the Hankey Center and Archives.
Postcards became popular at the end of the 19th century when they were called private mailing cards. In 1901, the name changed to postcard. From 1901 until 1907, the back of the card was only used for the address, which is why some older cards in our collection display the sender’s message on the front. The divided back of the card we are familiar with today, became the norm in 1907.
Throughout the early postcard days until the beginning of World War I, German printers dominated the market of colorful cards. American printers improved and increased production during WW I, however, to save ink, left a white border which identifies a card as being from the time between 1915 and 1930.
After 1930, printers used new processes, which created cards that looked as if printed on linen. These cards were popular until 1945 when Photochrom postcards replaced them.

Description
An account of the resource
Both club houses were built in the early 1900s from gray stone and overlooked the creek. Until 1912, the Scull and Dagger club and the Aloha Club utilized the buildings. After those clubs were no longer in existence, they served as spots for meetings and parties, as well as faculty and later student housing. Both club houses were demolished in the late 1950s.
