The 2 volumes are: Poe's Run & Other Poems (M'Cready Sykes: Cannon Press, Princeton; 1904), and A History of Harvard (Alfred K. Moe: Harvard [Press], Cambridge; 1896) are available (!!) from Goodreads and Amazon and I suppose other vendors, at amazingly low prices. My 'Moe' isn't a numbered copy, but both have contemporary inscriptions: 'Frederick J. Church '88 (a common Princeton surname then) in 'Poe', and from Moe himself in 'History' (signed to 2 Eli's in 1926).
Signed copies are fun! I downloaded Poe's Rum from the Internet Archive and have already pulled a few images I will use in the future. Moe's book is not available online, so I will need to wait a bit for that one. Thanks for the references.
A lot of the undergrads of yore were top-notch artists and illustrators. Booth Tarkington and Harold Imbrie drew for Princeton, and Alfred Moe for Harvard ..

I'm going to have to look them up. Do you have links?
I will try to find, or send 'shots. One of the slim volumes--Moe's, on Harvard--was printed in 1896, the P'n, in '04 or so ..
