Cash Book, 1938-1964

The records of the Directors’ Association of Oberlin College comprise one small box containing two books of minutes, a cash book, loose constitution and by-laws documents and receipts, lists of directors (or matrons), and the College Archivist’s record of his conversation with the donor, a member of the organization. The founding constitution and minute book dates from 1904, while the last entry in the second minute book is dated May 1961. Some of the lists of matrons include the address of the house, the price per semester for room and/or board, and the number of single and double rooms. Researchers wanting information on student life, and the lives of older women in Oberlin in the early 20th century may find this collection useful.
