 * From the Ursuline College Archives**

Between 1938 and the late 1960s, summer at Ursuline College was a time to celebrate babies. Ursuline alumnae have a lengthy history of keeping in touch with the staff and faculty of Ursuline College, dutifully sending Christmas cards and snapshots of their growing families. Ursuline College further encouraged this by holding Baby Day, an annual event for Ursuline graduates to meet and show off their children.

By the 1950s, Baby Day often involved over 200 children, from infants to teenagers. Baby Day became tremendously popular, offering parents a day to get together and children a plethora of games, dancing and sweets, especially ice cream.

Come take a look at photographs from Ursuline's Baby Days at the Ursuline Archives in the basement of the Ralph M. Besse Library.
