Coll. 0388 - Milton J. Elliott, III Collection

 

This collection consists of a videorecording made by digitizing an original 8 mm film, which is owned by Milton J. Elliott, III, who was a student at W&L during the 1956 Mock Convention. The video is in color and is silent. The footage of the 1956 Mock Convention runs about 8 minutes and is primarily of the parade. Sections of the video showing the convention floor and platform are brief and quite dark. There is also footage of a group of students picknicking at Goshen (about 3 minutes). The last 4 minutes of footage are shots of a wedding at The Homestead.

You can view the video at our site on YouTube.
