Kent family papers : series VI : generation V, 1919-2000.

http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/728715670

This series of the Kent Family Papers is composed of the papers of Ira "Rich" and Louise "Lulie" Andrews Kent's three children, Elizabeth Van Rensselaer "Kenty," Hollister "Sam," and Rosamond Mary "Posy" Kent (generation V). Also included are numerous letters written by Rich and Lulie Kent. Elizabeth Van Rensselaer "Kenty" Kent's papers consist mostly of letters from family and friends, particularly correspondence with friends, Betty Bauer and Janet Jackson. Also included in this series are items from her years at the Park and Winsor schools and Bryn Mawr College, as are materials from her publishing career, often as a co-author with her mother, and as publisher of The Calais Independent newsletter. Of additional interest are papers of her first husband, Lorie Tarshis, a prominent economist whose 1947 textbook first introduced the tenets of John Maynard Keynes to American universities. Hollister Kent's papers contain materials from his school years at the Park School in Brookline, Milton Academy, and Harvard University. His military career, his professional life as city planner, and his personal correspondence with his parents, siblings, relatives, and others are also included in this series. Of particular interest are notes, which he took while living in Brazil, about the 1954 suicide of President Vargas and the ensuing uprising. Rosamond Mary "Posy" Kent's papers, including diaries and notebooks, letters, writings, scrapbooks, papers from the Park and Winsor schools and Bryn Mawr College, and papers from her years as faculty member at University of South Carolina, are also part of this series. Of special note are her "Collected Papers, 1955-2000," which constitute a compendium of her academic articles in philosophy.
