Honors received: The President of Missouri Valley College ):!&a appointed me official historian for the seventy-fifth anniversary of the college, to be celebrated within a few years. In 1954-55, I received a modest grant from the Flmd for the Advancement of Educa­ tion (Ford Foundation) to support a search for certain historical doCUlllmts in the Charters Papers (o.s.u. l"A.brar:.vh the study was conducted in collabora­ tion with Professor wJ.H. Cowley of Stanford Uriversity. 11. General comment: An item of a research type, which I find a little hard to classify, is the rather unusual collection of educational manuscripts which I have begun to build nith the" aid of many Ohio ci Uzens. I now have what I think is the only set of color slides of' Reward Of Merit Cards (.11.11lerioan, 19th century). The 'iihole collec­ tion is small but growing. My dissertation, ".IID.ropean and American Backgrounds of the American Concept of Academic Freedem, lSo0-1914, 11 has been provisionally accepted for publication in the Uni versi t;y of Missouri Studies. I hope to have the necessary revision com­ pleted bi the erui of 19$6. I have signed a contract with the 1"iorld Soak Company to write for them a history of western education. I have made a smsll bee;inning on the work.
