Abstract

These papers formed part of the cache of general historical University material housed in the St. Louis Room of the University's library since the 1950s. Since they were the personal accumulation of an individual professor, they were separated from the Historical Records to become a manuscript collection. The collection comprises the following four series: 1. Bulletins and Reports; 2. Constitution and Membership; 3. Letters; 4. Programs.
