SSW would mail these types of brochures out to different undergraduate colleges, hospitals, and therapy centers to give prospective students information about the school. Before the internet, this and word of mouth is largely how schools attracted new students.

This 20+ page booklet, though, is a unusual specimen of the admissions brochure genre. It is about 3 inches by 3 inches and contains provocative images and ideas.
