A stamp marked the Lafayette College Centennial Historical Pageant held in Easton May 17, 18, and 20, 1932. In prominent maroon, white, and blue hues, the stamp depicts the Marquis de Lafayette standing in Easton with the years 1832 and 1932 beside him. It was used to honor the centennial of the opening of the College in 1832.
