Scope and Contents

From the Series:

The PERSONAL CORRESPONDENCE series contains correspondence from former colleagues and students that cover the period between 1949 and 2001. The bulk of the materials are Christmas cards and letters, birthday cards and postcards from the 1980’s and 1990’s. In addition the round robin letters between Mrs. May and her family form one of the few exceptions in the collection of materials not directly related to Wheaton College. Also within this series is a biographical folder chronicling the years that Geoffrey May spent at Wheaton and his relationship with the students and faculty along with a collection of newspaper clippings relating to his activities. Additionally the series contains two files about Muriel Reynolds W1924 who served on the Board of Trustees of Wheaton College. Also found in this series is the transcript from the ‘Women in the Federal Government Oral History Project’. The PHOTOGRAPHS AND OBJECTS series contains a collection of photographs of staff and faculty of Wheaton, former students, and family and friends. There are two sets of photographs marked Thanksgiving Party (undated), and Jennings Party Dec. 1973. Most photographs are unmarked and seem to be from the 1950’s and 1960’s. There is also a collection of black and white photographs that are related to the Honorary Degree that Wheaton conferred on Mrs. May in 1962. This series also includes a print block with Elizabeth's Wheaton address and a plaque, which was given to her by the Wheaton College Associates.
