It is named after the cyclone that struck Grinnell on June 17, 1882 killing 39 people, including two college students. As a student wrote in the introduction in the first yearbook explaining the title: "Once before a cyclone struck you, and in a moment all was destruction and sorrow, but out of those ruins of seven years ago our college rose to a new life of usefulness and honor, until to-day we feel that it is stronger for having passed through the storm." Provenance: Donated to the Archives by Tanya Hedges, 1996 yearbook editor, September 1996. Scope and Content Note: The contents include photographs used in the Cyclone Yearbook. Photographs from each yearbook are typically divided into sections: Student Life, Faculty/ Staff, Buildings, Sports, and School-Related Activities. Files are arranged chronologically.
