In keeping with its reputation as a hotbed of preppies, the latest yearbook is now available at Hampden-Sydney College. It's from 1981. "In the truest prep fashion, the book arrived fashionably late," said Tom Robinson, the college's news and information officer. Hampden-Sydney, one of the last remaining all-male schools in the country, thrives as a bastion of Virginia prep.

The dress code is khakis, sport shirts bearing the Lacoste Izod alligator and Sperry Topsiders, well-known white-soled boat shoes. So it was only fitting that the 1981 edition of Kaleidoscope came not only three years after graduation, but covered in madras plaid and bearing the title, "The Official Preppy Yearbook." "The wait has proved worthwhile, for showcased in this madras-bound yearbook is Hampden-Sydney life as it is meant to be," Robinson said. The cover is styled after "The Official Preppy Handbook" and the yearbook's introduction is written by the handbook's author, Lisa Birnbach. In her introduction, Ms. Birnbach praises Hampden-Sydney as "a College that time forgot, still a breeding ground for the right boys, with beautiful surroundings, and southern gentility.

"There students can still actually study the liberal arts because they will be able to mooch off their parents for the rest of their lives." The cover inset features caricatures of H-SC President Josiah Bunting III and his wife, Diana, and Brooks Brothers' golden fleece logo. Ms. Birnbach spoke of the Buntings in her introduction. For unknown reasons, the 1981 yearbook staff "just dropped the ball." When college officials learned of it toward the end of the school year, it was too late to complete the work.

Hampden–Sydney College (H–SC) is a private liberal arts college for men in Hampden Sydney, Virginia, United States. Founded in 1775, it is the oldest privately chartered college in the Southern United States, the tenth-oldest college in the US, the last college founded before the American Declaration of Independence, and the oldest of the four-year, all-male liberal arts colleges remaining in the United States. Hampden–Sydney College is listed on the National Register of Historic Places and the Virginia Landmarks Register, and is affiliated with the Presbyterian Church (USA).

love the colors
Color: Blue Flowers
I love the colors on this bag, and the size is big enough for me to put my normal purse stuff in plus pack my lunch in it, and there are 2 drink holders on the ends. It seems made from waterproof material. Although I thought it was canvas when I ordered, and I thought it had a padded computer pocket. That isn't true. But I was looking at so many tote bags, I may have gotten them confused in my head. But it seems really well made and there is plenty of room in the bag if you have a padded computer sleeve for your laptop and then place it in the bag.

It’s a Nice Big Bag!
Color: Blue Flowers
I bought this bag for my mom as a Christmas present and she loves it. She’s a big purse lady, so it is the right size for her. It has all the pockets in the right places and she loves the pretty floral design.

Love the style and Multi pockets!
Being a traveling float Phlebotomist for a very large company I need a bag that is extremely well-made holding my schedules.. my books, my PPE outfit, and all other essentials I need for my position. This bag is definitely the one very well-made, multi pockets more than enough room for everything that I need to carry all my equipment for me… to each job. Definitely would recommend this to anybody who travels in their job. Definitely purchased from this company again. Shipping was very fast and the product is in my eyes perfect.!
