This edition has always belonged to San Jose State University. Upon close examination of the book the history of the university can be traced. There is an embossing on the top right corner of the first few pages with California Normal School Library. Then there are tiny holes forming the words San Jose State College (see title page section photo) and finally there is a stamp with San Jose State University. Not only can you see the changes in name, but also the changes in the way books were tagged for library ownership.
The drawing above shows the San Jose Normal School about the time Helen would have visited and before it was damaged by the 1906 earthquake.
