[SAMMELBAND OF TWELVE YALE-RELATED CATALOGUES AND ONE MANUSCRIPT POEM, INCLUDING CATALOGUES OF THREE STUDENT SOCIETY LIBRARIES]. A sammelband of twelve Yale-related catalogues, all published between 1838 and 1842, and likely compiled by Steuben Rexford, member of the Yale class of 1842. Included are copies of the Yale College catalogues listing officers and students for each of the four years that Rexford attended; catalogues for each of the campus literary societies - the Linonian Society, Brothers in Unity, the Calliopean Society, and Psi Upsilon - listing the names of members, past and present; as well as the published catalogues of three of the societies' libraries. Tipped in among the college catalogues is a single leaf on which is written in manuscript a poem, perhaps by Rexford, for what was likely the occasion of Yale Presentation Day (now Class Day). The titles of the pamphlets, in the order in which they appear, are as follows: 1) [Yale]: Catalogue of the Officers and Students in Yale College, 1838–1839. [New Haven: B.L. Hamlen, 1838]. 35pp. SABIN 105753. AMERICAN IMPRINTS 59361. 2) [Yale]: Catalogue of the Officers and Students in Yale College, 1839-1840. [New Haven]: B.L. Hamlen, [1839]. 35pp. SABIN 105753. 3) [Yale]: Catalogue of the Officers and Students in Yale College, 1840-41. [New Haven]: B.L. Hamlen, [1840]. 35pp. SABIN 105753. AMERICAN IMPRINTS 40-7162. 4) [Yale]: Catalogue of the Officers and Students in Yale College, 1841-42. New Haven: B.L. Hamlen, 1841
