Found an old Cornell College (Mount Vernon, IA) yearbook. Published 1903 but it has rosters from 1901-02. It also has some interesting graphics.

Fruit Cake

This is my great grandmother's recipe for fruit cake. This can't be right.

1 lb sugar (2 c)
1 lb butter
1 lb eggs (9 or 10)
1 lb flour (4 c)
2 lbs sultana raisins
2 lbs dates
2 lbs figs
1 lb candied cherries
1/2 lb citron
1/4 lb candied lemon
1/4 lb candied orange
1 lb almonds or any other nuts

By my estimate that is a 13 pound cake.
