It is probable that the plate belonged to Melvin C. Larson, Class of 1911. The plate was gifted on February 14, 1974, and has since been a part of three different exhibits. The first exhibit was the Centennial exhibit, which was held at the library from October 23 to November 13, 1978. The second exhibit was the Old Main Renovation exhibit, held at the library in February 1983. Finally, the plate was put on display in the Northfield Historical Society's "Old Main and Main Street" exhibit from May to June 1983.
