Papers, 1908-1984 1908-1920.

http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/37112723

The Laurence H. and Frances MacDaniels papers, in which are found biographical and college related files, correspondence, and photographs, mainly focus on Laurence's life and friendships during the 1910s while a student at Oberlin College and Cornell University. The bulk of the correspondence, both incoming and outgoing, is dated between 1907 and 1917. Courtship letters from Frances while Laurence was studying at Cornell University stand out in the correspondence files. Other files, dated before 1925, include the incoming correspondence of Frances MacDaniels, and letters received by Cochran-MacDaniels family members. After 1920, the volume of records, including correspondence, is considerably less. Yet, the files offer details of the MacDaniels' later lives. Materials related to Laurence's long teaching career are held at Kroch Library, Cornell University.
