Carmon Ross Papers, 1931-1957 1934-1939.

http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/56106766

Dr. Carmon Ross was the second president of Edinboro State Teachers College. He presided over the school's seventy-fifth anniversary and laid the plans for a significant expansion of the campus facilities. His papers include correspondence, reports, clippings, photos, etc. dealing with personnel, curriculum, finance, alumni, physical plant, and virtually every other aspect of the college. The papers show how the college struggled to maintain service through the darkest years of the Great Depression, when the survival of the college was in doubt. They also document how, through his leadership in state and national education associations, Dr. Ross championed the role of public higher education in training teachers for elementary and secondary schools.
