Evelyn Deariso,
W.A. Edwards, J.A. Dusenberry, L.R. Siebert, W.J. Sayward, R.H. Driftmier |
General
references to the construction of the library. Money problems in 1938 made
planning for the library an on-again, off-again project. W.A. Edwards died
and papers detail a plan to put a picture of him in the library as a
memorial. Dockets, change orders, problems with roof color, furniture, panel
inscriptions, sculptures, bids, lighting, list of books needed. Other
construction: reference to Log Cabin 6/24/38 and 9/14/39. Reference to plans
for a music house (no evidence that it was ever built). |

Dr. Thomas Munro,
Dr. George Works |
In 1941-42, Reade
wrote Dr. Thomas Munro (curator of the Cleveland Museum of Art) and asked
him to make a study of the catalog with regard to curriculum changes for a
humanities college. Recommended by George Works, of the Works Commission.
GSWC's challenge is being a rural liberal arts school, trying to serve
groups of smart, regular, and less able students. Letters arranging
permission for the project, and proposed changes to the curriculum. Specific
letters of note: May 6, 1941 and April 22, 1942 (which has been censored).
War intervened in this project. |
