Album: Grinnell Iowa: Grinnell College Photo Views & Picturs Found At Grinnell Archives. Album description:
This photo album contains photos taken and found at Sarah’s undergraduate institution, Grinnell College, during Henry Gurr’s 2016 Sarah Vinke research trip. Included within, are photos of where Sarah lived during her time at Grinnell College and the Grinnell Campus, photos of Sarah, and photos of her thesis advisor Dr. MS Slaughter when he taught at Grinnell College.
*****************
I arrive at the Grinnell College Library & Archives ~9:30, and stay for two days. My email at the time said: “All goes well, and finding lots of good new info: Nothing tremendous, but worth doing it.”
High points were: I found (and photo’d.) where she lived there, (Mears Cottage, photos 3 and 4 of red brick building in this Grinnell album) and a small photo of her in the Yearbook (shown in this album as photo 15, of 1914 Grinnell Cyclone Yearbook). And surprisingly, considerable and important information about Dr. MS Slaughter, Sarah’s U. Wisconsin Graduate School, Major Professor, who happened in his early teaching career, to be also at Grinnell: I found a whole lot more about him, including his PhD Thesis, and some very good photos (photos 12-14 in this album).
16 May late afternoon & evening: The Archives closed at 5 pm, so I continued my Sarah Vinke Biography Field Research, upstairs, in the Library of Grinnell College. In the evening, I found a campground recommended by Archives Dr. Christopher Jones, ~ in a very nice Iowa State Park, ~10 miles NW of Grinnell Campus.
17 May, continued in Archives, and pretty much a repeat of previous day. Since there was plenty of day left, I drove I-80 West to Des Moines IA, where found Walnut Woods State Park for the night.
**Many thanks to Dr. Chris Jones for his help in finding and his allowance to use the information and photos found at the Grinnell Archives!
