At my college, freshman year (of course, this was long ago, in 1988), 
the Pig Book was the photo album that showed all the "high school 
yearbook" photos of the incoming freshman and the high schools they 
came from - you could look thru it before classes started to see what 
your roommate looked like, and I and some of the girls on my floor 
flipped thru it a few times to see what cute guys were around, but it 
would be pretty useless for the purpose intimated above, because the 
photos were really small & there would've been no room to write any 
extensive comments.
