http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/437267774

Includes biographical and family information, correspondence, information about Wilcher's Civilian Public Service (CPS) experiences and Civilian Public Service Camp no. 14 (Merom, IN). Reference materials include statements of men who "walked out" of CPS; news clippings about CPS; songs about CPS; information about the CPS Union; Japanese student relocation; and a letter from John Dewey (March 21, 1932) which seems unrelated to the collection. Correspondents include Rex Corfman, Roy Finch, Paul French, Paul Furnas, Philip Isely, Crane Rosenbaum, John Schmidt, David Stafford and Felix Greene of the American Friends Service Committee, David Swift, and others.
