Poems by Roger Burgess describe the Atlantic voyage and his first impressions of the U.S. The twentieth century papers document the careers in home economics and nutrition of Lucile Rust and Louise Driggs, and shed light on social conditions in the Philippines, China and Japan between 1906 and 1920, when Edwin and Josephine Driggs lived there.
