George Dewey Crawford Scrapbook, ca. 1914-1927

http://www2.lib.unc.edu/mss/inv/c/Crawford,George_Dewey.html

George Dewey Crawford was born in Cornelia, Ga., at the end of the 19th century. He attended Cornelia public schools, Piedmont College, the University of North Carolina (Class of 1920), and Emory Law School. At UNC, Crawford was active in many clubs, publications, sports teams, and theather productions. He was a member of the Carolina Playmakers, along with Thomas Wolfe and Paul Green. He married Mary Creech Williams and practiced law in Fort Pierce, Fla. The scrapbook primarily relates to Crawford's years as a student at the University of North Carolina, 1918-1920. There are, however, a small number of items from his childhood and family; his education at Piedmont College; and his post-UNC activities, including a class reunion, in 1921. His activities at UNC are documented items from his participation in societies; student publications; clubs; sports teams; the student battalion; the 8th International Student Volunteer Convention in Des Moines, Iowa; and university theatrical productions. Photographs include candid shots of Crawford and his friends on campus, sporting events, his future wife, and campus theatrical productions. There is a photograph of Paul Green and several pages of signatures and toasts, among them one from Thomas Wolfe.
