This series consists of photocopies of newspaper clippings, genealogical charts, telegrams, newsletter articles, business cards, an Oberlin Golf Club score sheet, and an U.S. Armed Forces certificate of memorial. Many of the newspaper clippings concern Thomas’s accomplishments on track and field teams, but others contain obituaries, and some describe a notable occasion when Thomas hit a 34 on Oberlin’s front nine.

The handwritten journal “Lake Stuff” was composed by Thomas Farquhar in April 1918. It records the activities of a small group of Oberlin College undergraduates during their spring break in March 1918. Sixty photographs of their adventures are included in the latter pages of the journal. This series also, for use by researchers, includes a photocopy of the journal and an annotated typescript copy.
