Notebook, 1840

The papers consist of a notebook and some loose items from the notebook. The notebook contains the following sections: "Index Rerum or Prompter, intended as a Manual to aid The Memory By Addison Merrill Fort Wayne Indiana May 1st 1840"; "Order of Studies at O.C. Institute," 1841‑42; skeleton of lectures on physiology and anatomy by Professor James Dascomb, September 1, 1841 (pp. 23‑32); language of Flowers (36 pages); poetry. The notebook was apparently written by Merrill, his sister Mary E. Merrill Hodge, and others.

Note: Entry modified from William E. Bigglestone's unpublished "[preliminary] Guide to the Oberlin College Archives," which was prepared as individual entry sheets in a three-ring binder during the early 1980s.
