Page 22 from a Printed Literary Society By-Laws Booklet (Wagener Personal Collection)

This printed page, numbered 22, comes from the by-laws booklet of a community or school 'Literary Society,' a common social and educational institution in the early 1900s. Preserved among the personal papers of WWI Private Willis W. Wagener, the booklet's rules on library lending, fines, and membership dues reflect the everyday civic and educational life of the era before Wagener's military service, offering context for the social world he came from.
