http://www.lib.utexas.edu/taro/tamucush/00040/00040-P.html

John Q. Anderson (1916-1975) a Texas native born 30 May 1916 in Wheeler Co., received his A.B. in English from Oklahoma State University in 1939, his M.A. from Louisiana State University in 1948, and his Ph.D. from The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill in 1952, before becoming an instructor in the English Department at Texas A & M University in 1953. Remaining at Texas A & M until 1966, Dr. Anderson became a renowned teacher and folklorist. He was also a folk singer and composer, as well as an author of over seventy articles and books including , , and , which he edited. By the time he left Texas A & M in 1966, Dr. Anderson had risen from an instructor to Head of the English Department. Dr. Anderson's final position was Professor of American Literature at the University of Houston, a postion he left for health reasons in 1974. Folklore in all its manifestations, particulaly in Texas and to some extent North Carolina, was Dr. Anderson's lifelong passion. He was a member of several folklore societies over the years, sponsoring the John A. Lomax Folklore Society and serving for a time as president of the Texas Folklore Society. Dr. Anderson received many honors for his teaching and scholarship, the most significant being the Faculty Distinguished Achievement Award for Teaching, Outstanding Professor Award, and Professor Emeritus of English, all from Texas A & M Univesity. The bulk of the collection consists of term papers on folklore from students in Dr. Anderson's English 329 class at Texas A & M, some of which he later gathered into a book titled . Many fieldnotes on folklore, clippings, research materials, and memorabilia make up the remainder of the collection, with some correspondence with folklore enthusiasts and miscellaneous publications on folklore. Vaudeville was another interest of Dr. Anderson, and materials about and from the Billy Arlington Company are included.
