Cherry-red with a Radcliffe seal on each, the slippers were hand-embroidered for Wilbur K. Jordan, president of Radcliffe College in the 1940s and '50s.
The slippers are just one piece of memorabilia in the Radcliffe archives that historians hope will not be forgotten as Radcliffe ends its college days.
But many of the archives' quirkier possessions, like a full set of Wedgworth china patterned with the Radcliffe shield, are buried in the depths of the library and are only seen by the occasional ambitious researcher.
The bulk of the archives consist of paper material, ranging from the original college charter to playbills from the 47 Club, a Radcliffe drama group formed in the 1920s.
"Usually they offer to donate," Kraft said. "They call and say they've found a bunch of stuff from their Radcliffe days...diaries and pictures and things of that nature."
