Anyone seen anything like this for X?

Couldn't find much other than old XU yearbooks...Found "To See Great Wonders: A History of Xavier University, 1831-2006" , this one though is not a baby book (although maybe it could put some people to sleep)...

http://www.amazon.com/See-Great-Wonders-University-1831-2006/dp/1589661524/ref=sr_1_1?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1351870112&sr=1-1&keywords=xavier+university+book+cincinnati
"Founded in 1831 in Cincinnati, Ohio, Xavier University is one of the oldest Catholic Jesuit universities in the United States. In anticipation of the university’s 175th anniversary, historian Roger Fortin has written an in-depth history of it. To See Great Wonders is also an astute addition to our understanding of Jesuit higher education and its place in American history. Fortin explores the challenges the university community faced from its early years to the present day, as it learned to balance its commitment to Jesuit educational tradition with a desire to evolve along with an ever-changing American society."

Could be an interesting book to read though for us Xavier fanatics.

It's actually a good read. I picked up one from the bookstore when it first came out.

Also, while not a baby book, there is a Xavier kids activity book. I think it sells for $8-$10 in the bookstore.

At the season ticket holder open house they have each person an activity book as well as a copy of Xavjer Tales, which means I have a copy of that kids book in my collection.

Maybe some of the creatives on Xhoops should start a collaborative writing project? It could fund the next booze-filled road trip.
