The Hamiltonian

Baby photo submission

The deadline for submitting baby photos for the Class of 2008 was February 22, 2008. Submissions can no longer be accepted.

The baby photo section cannot be populated without the help of parents and seniors. We request your aid in populating this section by submitting one photo for the section.

For quality purposes, we request that you submit an original print of the photo. If you are uncomfortable submitting an original, we suggest using Kodak Picture Maker or another professional duplication service. Photocopied photographs cannot be accepted.

The deadline for submissions is February 22, 2008. Please include a return address on the back of the photo if you would like the photograph returned. Photographs will be returned to you by January 2009.

Candid photo submission information

We ask that you follow the rules of submission to ensure that the photos can be published.

The rules for digital photos:

1. Photos are to be submitted by campus mail on a CD addressed to The Hamiltonian. Photos cannot be sent by e-mail . Make sure to write your name and "Junior Candids" on the CD. (amend "Junior" for whatever year you are submitting)
2. Included on the CD should be a text file or Word document containing the names and classyear of all persons in every photo. Make sure to indicate which photo you're giving names for by referencing the filename, not just "1:," "2:," etc. Captions such as event or party name, location, etc. are entirely optional and will be published, space permitting.

   Example:

   Joan Stewert's Freshman Year Photos

   IMG_1812.jpg Alexander Hamilton '08, Samuel Kirkland '08, John Doe '08, Aaron Burr (non-Hamilton), Elihu Root '10, Eugene Tobin '03

   IMG_2007.jpg Adirondack Adventure '04: Joan Hinde-Stewert '08, Joe Urgo '08, Nancy Thompson '08

   As a general rule, 50%+ of the persons pictured should be in the class of 2008.

   The naming rule is absolute, not general

   This is the only accepted form of name submission. Please do not submit with names only in the file name or written on a piece of paper.

3. DO NOT submit photos that you have downloaded from Facebook or other Web sites. They can not be published because the Web site resizes them to a size that is too small for print quality. Please only submit the original files transfered from your digital camera.

The rule for photo prints:

1. Write all names and class years on the back of the photo (caption optional), and submit via campus mail to The Hamiltonian. If it is a print made from a digital photo, please submit the digital photo if possible, as it will result in high-quality reproduction. Include a non-Hamilton return address on every photo if you would like it to be returned

These rules are meant to make sure that your submitted photos can be used in the book at an acceptable quality and so that an index of names can be compiled. Please follow them, because photos submitted that do not follow these rules are not able to be used.
