E. Esbjorn (professor of German) checking German notebooks and also checked papers for Dr. Earl A. Beyer (professor of romance languages), and was involved with the Independent Women’s Organization.

The Miriam Zwicker scrapbook dates from 1935 to 1960, bulk 1935-1940 and measures 1.5 linear feet (one oversized box).  The scrapbook contains newspaper clippings, programs, notecards, invitations, and Augustana Bulletins.  The materials document Miriam’s activities during her time at Augustana and her continued interest in the school after her graduation.
