History of Philosophy, 1904

This series is arranged into three subseries: 1. Elmira Free Academy Files, 2. Oberlin College File, and 3. Other Collegiate Files. These mainly consist of the class notes and student papers which were collected or produced by John G. Olmstead while he was a student in high school and college. His involvement on the Oberlin College Debate Team, the student newspaper, and his participation in a production of a Shakespearean spoof entitled “Two Gentlewomen of Vermilion” are well documented. Material also exists documenting Olmstead’s participation on the Oberlin College and Ohio State University track teams (1910). Each subseries is arranged alphabetically by subject.
