1952 Arcanum “The Atlanteans” Program Booklet – February 19th – How the Rainbow Came to Be

Original 1952 Arcanum program booklet titled “The Atlanteans”, presented Tuesday, February 19, 1952, in the Auditorium. The program dates back to the long-running Arcanum Society tradition (established 1890) and features a printed story titled “How the Rainbow Came to Be.”

This piece reflects mid-century college and literary culture — possibly associated with a university dramatic or literary society. The Arcanum “A” seal is printed in blue on textured cream cardstock with deckle edges, showing faint toning and ghosting consistent with age.

Inside content:
Includes the short mythic story “How the Rainbow Came to Be,” a retelling of a classical myth involving Aurora, Jupiter, and an Earth Maiden.

Measurements:
Approx. 10½ inches tall x 7 inches wide (as shown in photo with ruler).

Condition:
Very good vintage condition with light age toning, some mild fading, and a faint tape shadow pattern visible on cover. Inner pages clean and fully intact.

A beautiful and uncommon piece of 1950s academic or literary ephemera, suitable for collectors of vintage programs, mythological art, or collegiate memorabilia.
