Papers of Doris Bender Hughes, 1945-1997 (bulk 1945-1950).

http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/233120983

The collection consists chiefly of letters from Hughes to her parents in Norwich, N.Y. (1945-1950), highlighting student social life at the State University of Iowa as well as finances, classes, and entertainment. They serve to illuminate the relationship between a daughter attending an out-of-state college and her parents. The collection also includes a 1997 retrospective scrapbook containing reproductions of photographs, newspaper clippings and historical information about the university in the late 1940s and early 1950s along with a biographical narrative by Hughes. Also included are photographs of friends, the university campus, and of children whom she taught at the Preschool.
