This is a collection of the personal and professional papers of Dr. Percival Hunt, a professor in the English Department of the University of Pittsburgh from 1921 until his retirement in 1948.

He also wrote books about the teaching of composition and those are reflected in the collection as well. Of particular interest is a diary that Hunt kept on his trip around the world.
