Laurenus Clark Seelye Papers
Series II: Correspondence
Sub-Series:
-
Family
-
Smith College
-
Non-Smith College
-
Employment Opportunities
Correspondents in this series include Smith President Marion
LeRoy Burton, Harry Norman Gardiner, Arthur L. Gillett, John M. Greene,
Mary Augusta Jordan, William H. Lanning, Alice (Lord) Parsons, and Herbert
A. Wilder. The correspondence provides a good record of the early days
of Smith College, as well as a look at the people after whom Smith College
buildings and monuments are named. Names of note in the Non-Smith College
correspondence are Andrew Carnegie, President William McKinley, and John
D. Rockefeller, Jr. The letters in this sub-series cover topics ranging
from money to religion. One weakness of the correspondence is that many
of the first names of correspondents are not apparent or are completely
unknown. |
