Artifact Overview

Henry Ford sent his Old Time Orchestra to out-of-state parties, including the all-male Washington & Jefferson College in Pennsylvania. Benjamin Lovett, Ford's dancing master, gave the young men instruction in the basic steps for the traditional American dances like the quadrille and the schottische. Then, young women from Pennsylvania State College joined them for a formal dance.
