Little known fact about Zuckerberg and Facebook; the idea and the name came from his high school, Phillips Exeter Academy. Exeter has always had a physical handbook of everyone's photo and names that was handed out to all students each year called, "The Exeter Facebook". I would know since I was in the same dorm as Zuckerberg around that time (it was a boarding school).
From my understanding, most schools used to have hard copy facebooks. I've read Harvard definitely had a (per house) online facebook back when Zuckerberg was a freshman (and, interestingly, still did as of at least ~2008).

Exeter was certainly neither the first nor the only place to have a paper facebook. Harvard, MIT, and most summer camps all had the same thing at that time and years prior.
