- Note
- Bird's-eye view pictorial map of the Wellesley College campus in Wellesley, Massachusetts. Shows Campus buildings, views with trees, wooded areas and a portion of Lake Waban adjoining the campus, small figures going about activities on campus. The detailed border incorporates the words of the college's Alma Mater, areas of study with small symbols, and vignettes of campus life, buildings and of important people in the school's history. A small inset drawing upper left shows nine buildings with a lettered key. The cartouche is in the shape of a pediment decorated with the college seal and the year of Wellesley's founding, 1875, and containing the title and a Latin inscription taken from the first line of Psalm 127, "Nisi Dominus aedificaverit domum, in vanum laboraverunt qui aedificant eum": "Unless God builds the house, its builders work in vain."
