Papers, 1895-1942.

http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/47163606

Collection contains personal diaries, correspondence, writings, teaching notes and other miscellaneous items. Ten volumes of diaries are complete from the period from 1910-1941 except from mid 1928 to early 1931. Randolph began the diaries primarily as a list of the work he did each day, and during the first year, he limited himself to only one page per month and one line per day. By the second year he was using two pages per month and two lines per day. By the third year, his professional journal had turned into a comprehensive diary. Among the persons mentioned most frequently in the diaries are M. Rutledge Rivers (President of the Trustees of the College of Charleston) and many members of the faculty and staff including George Daniel Grice (Randolph's successor as Professor of Mathematics and as President), Thomas della Torre, James Harold Easterby, Horatio Hughes, Olin Burnham Chamberlain, and Williard Silcox (Sr.). Randolph occasionally mentions correspondents such as Mrs. Woodrow Wilson, but does not usually indicate the subjects of letters. During 1919 and 1920, he notes often about the sabbatical he took to work on foreign affairs in the State Department. Randolph's personal correspondence is largely with relatives in Virginia and elsewhere. His papers include writings on education and mathematics, teaching notes and grade books for his classes in mathematics, some annotated publications on geometry, and documents relating to his service on a committee to create the memorial in White Point Gardens to the defenders of Fort Sumter.
