Title: UVM - Snow Sculpture
Photographer: McAllister, L. L. (Louis L.), 1877-1963.
Description: "Waterman Building." Designation is puzzling since the Waterman Building is not seen here. This is more likely behind a fraternity house close to campus. Sculpture is of 2 stereotyped figures: a "mammy" presenting a prize cake; and two "pickaninnies," a boy and girl. Sculptures such as these were ready by Winter Carnival weekend and judged for prizes.
Subject: Blackface entertainers.
Greek letter societies.
Snow sculpture.
