The Turbescon collection consists of research notes and correspondence concerning this student "secret society." Turbescon, popularly known as the T.C.O.S. or the Reds, was a male fraternal organization active during the late nineteen-teens at Gustavus Adolphus College. Research material appears to have been compiled by college authorities seeking to learn more about T.C.O.S. and its members. Later correspondence concerns the group's founding and consists of incoming correspondence from former members to Professor Conrad Peterson. It is believed Peterson used these materials for his 1952 publication Remember Thy Past.
