The collection, though small in volume, represents two important aspects of Josiah C. McCracken's rich and splendid life--his brilliant achievement as an all-round star athlete at Penn and his life-long devotion to the development of medine in China. News clippings and letters from his friends on his 65th birthday document the success of his China experience while eight photos of Penn Track Team portray his glory as the best and most popular athletic figure on campus when he studied at Penn. The collection also includes family photos taken in China or America during different periods of time and three folders about his children, one of which concerns their planning for the publication of a biography of their father.
