The A. W. Sutton papers contain receipts from Michigan Agricultural College (now Michigan State University) for room and board, subscriptions to "The College Speculum", and enrollment fees from 1881-1883. The collection also contains a few pieces of handwritten poetry as well as quotes.

This collection consists of a booklet for undergraduate students titled "Michigan Agricultural College Regulations 1923-1924," student event programs, a graduation card, and a telegram.
