Randolph, Harrison, 1871-1954. Papers, 1895-1942.

Title: Papers, 1895-1942.

Collection contains personal diaries, correspondence, writings, teaching notes and other miscellaneous items. Ten volumes of diaries are complete from the period from 1910-1941 except from mid 1928 to early 1931. Randolph began the diaries primarily as a list of the work he did each day, and during the first year, he limited himself to only one page per month and one line per day. By the second year he was using two pages per month and two lines per day. By the third year, his professional journal had turned into a comprehensive diary. Among the persons mentioned most frequently in the diaries are M. Rutledge Rivers (President of the Trustees of the College of Charleston) and many members of the faculty and staff including George Daniel Grice (Randolph's successor as Professor of Mathematics and as President), Thomas della Torre, James Harold Easterby, Horatio Hughes, Olin Burnham Chamberlain, and Williard Silcox (Sr.). Randolph occasionally mentions correspondents such as Mrs. Woodrow Wilson, but does not usually indicate the subjects of letters. During 1919 and 1920, he notes often about the sabbatical he took to work on foreign affairs in the State Department. Randolph's personal correspondence is largely with relatives in Virginia and elsewhere. His papers include writings on education and mathematics, teaching notes and grade books for his classes in mathematics, some annotated publications on geometry, and documents relating to his service on a committee to create the memorial in White Point Gardens to the defenders of Fort Sumter.

Easterby, J. H. (James Harold), 1898-1960. Research notes on education in Charleston, 1767-1948.

Title: Research notes on education in Charleston, 1767-1948.

The collection consists of typescripts from the Charleston newspapers noting anything related to education. The information included is primarily about all aspects of the College of Charleston, but is often about private grammar schools and is sometimes about local scientific work. Meetings of scientific and literary organizations were regularly noted particularly those of the Literary and Philosophical Society of South Carolina, whose museum became the basis for the College of Charleston Museum. Subsequent museum acquisitions were often noted. There are references to colleges elsewhere, most often to South Carolina College (the University of South Carolina), but also to the colleges in northern states. Overall, the notes provide substantial information about the intellectual life in Charleston from 1767-1880. The notes are divided into two series: (1) "Index and Synopsis" are primarily of citations to every item noted as potentially relevant and (2) "Selected Articles" are full transcripts of the articles dating from 1798-1858 that Easterby selected as most likely to be useful for the history of the College of Charleston. The collection also includes an index to "The College of Charleston Magazine" from 1898-1938, "A Selected Bibliography of Printed Materials Relating to the History of South Carolina" (1936), and "The Significance of South Carolina History" (1948).
