Lecture notes (Students) 1824-1960 (bulk dates 1824-1923).

http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/122384438

Consists of notes taken by Brown University students during academic lectures given by Brown University faculty from 1824 to 1960, although the bulk of the collection dates from 1824 to 1923. Subjects include agriculture, art, astronomy, bibliography, biology, botany, chemistry, Christianity, economics, engineering, English, French, geology, Greek, history, Italian, Latin, mathematics, medicine, moral philosophy, intellectual philosophy, physics, physiology, political science, psychology, religion, rhetoric, and sociology. Faculty represented in the collection include Elisha Benjamin Andrews, John Howard Appleton, Timothy Whiting Bancroft, Eli Whitney Blake, Alexis Caswell, George Ide Chace, James Q. Dealey, Jeremiah Lewis Diman, Robinson Potter Dunn, William Gammell, Samuel Stillman Greene, Harry Lyman Koopman, Ezekiel Gilman Robinson, Barnas Sears, and Francis Wayland. There are lecture notes from Wayland's classes in moral philosophy, intellectual philosophy, and political economy. Four notebooks dating from 1824 contain medical school lecture notes on surgery, medical theory and practice, obstetrics, and materia medica. The lectures in medicine were given by Usher Parsons, Levi Wheaton, and Professor Cullen. A notebook from a class on books and libraries taught (ca.1897-1901) by Harry Lyman Koopman is in the collection. A notebook (1860-1861) used by student Charles David Cady is decorated with pen and ink drawings, one of which is possibly a caricature of Barnas Sears during a lecture on moral philosophy. The drawings are presumed to be Cady's. Other students' notebooks are also decorated and include marginalia.

In 1917 the university established the Brown War Records Bureau, whose intention was to "collect and preserve a record of all Brown men who are serving in the present war". Brown faculty, students and alumni who were in the military were asked to fill out a small card called "Are you in the war?" and to send original letters, clippings or photographs which "have any bearing on the service of Brown men in the war." This collection is partly a result of that effort. From the guide to t...
