Description
1944. [Women Education] Scrapbook from a woman student at co-educational Oswego State Teachers College, filled with 141 pieces of ephemera, including newspaper clippings, full-issues of the campus paper, ticket stubs, programs, invitations, and more. 1944-1947. Original paper wraps. 15 x 11 inches. 80 pages. Large color image of fall foliage on front cover. Originally belonged to Marjorie O. Walker of Woodridge, NY. Includes rich material from Oswego College, as well as items from the schools in New York where Ms. Walker was employed following graduation. Many newspaper clippings and other items are related to WWII and its effects on students. Article from LIFE Magazine dated Aug 21, 1944 about "Refugees Arrive From Europe" with 16 photo-illustrated images of Jewish refugees at a facility at Fort Ontario in Oswego. Another 1944 clipping: "Training makes Aviation Group Physically Fit... the men who have gone from Oswego to the classification centers have been outstanding in physical activities. The Air Corps program as carried out in the college training centers develops physical fitness, strength, and eagerness for combat." Other headlines such as "Oswego Graduate Killed in Crash"; "Post-War Plans Found Indefinite"; "49 Awarded Degrees at Oswego College, 66 in Service, 1 Dead". Printed documents giving updates on Oswego graduates now serving in the Armed Forces. Numerous items from social events - both on campus and later. Programs for: 1944 St. Patrick's Day Party, Womens Athletic Association installation Banquet, "Lawn Party" for graduating seniors, several "Alumni Day" events, and religious services. Printed lyrics for the song "Hail Oswego". 1944 Commencement Program which lists her own name among the graduates. Playbill for the 1945 Broadway production of "Deep are the Roots" about a decorated African-American soldier who has returned from WWII. Schedule and map for the Lackawanna Railroad connecting New York, Buffalo, Cleveland, Detroit, and Chicago. Correspondence and documentation from New York State Teachers Association, Woodbridge High School, Fallsburgh High School, Mountaindale High School, Liberty High School, and Pearl River Public Schools in New York. She cared deeply for her students as shown in a 1947 correspondence with the Junior American Red Cross in support of a program for her high school students. The State University of New York at Oswego was founded in 1861 as the Oswego Primary Teachers' Training School; this institution embraced and popularized some of the most innovative teaching methods of the day. The school led the Oswego Movement of educational reform in the United States, which sought to emphasize that every aspect of the child's life contributed to the formation of their personality, character, and capacity to reason. These educational methods were child-centered and based on individual differences, sense perception, and the student's self-activity. In 1942, the New York state legislation elevated Oswego from a Normal School to the 4-year, bachelor's degree-granting Oswego State Teachers College. In 1948, Oswego became one of the State University of New York's charter members. To meet the expanded need for specialized instruction, the institution broadened its academic perspective to become a full-fledged arts and sciences institution in the SUNY system and featuring a range of liberal and professional studies by 1962. Pages are thin, with a few very small closed tears at edges. In very good condition.

Description
Kirkwood: The Printery [Kay Michael Kramer, printer], 1974. Limited Edition. Hardcover. Fine. One of 120 copies, oblong sixmo, 45 pp., signed by Charles Guenther, with prospectus. Written by the existentialist philosopher and French poet Jean Andre Wahl (1888-1974) during his time in La Sante prison under the German occupation during WWII, and then from the concentration camp at Drancy, near Paris. As Charles Guenther wrote in the Introduction, "Wahl...surely had an impact on philosophers and philosophy in his time...he also influenced French and American poets....for poetry is not only 'eternal'; it is evolving and mutable..." Published by The Printery, a Missouri private press which published limited editions of books; this was the fourth publication by The Printery, whose works were entirely hand-made. They had been awarded "major book awards for each of [their] previous three volumes" (n.b., from prospectus). In 2019 The Printery was acquired by the Mercantile Library at the University of Missouri, St. Louis, where it has been "reincarted as The Printery Book Arts Lab...with a mission to keep letterpress printing alive" (n.b., from the web site of The Printery). ___DESCRIPTION: Bound in quarter brown linen and French marbled paper over boards, gilt lettering on the spine and a stylized line of barbed wire in gilt running vertically down the boards on the linen, fore- and bottom edges uncut, reproduction of a sketch of Wahl as frontispiece (no attribution to artist that we see), each page with the stylized barbed wire decoration in brown presented horizontally between the title of the poem and the text; Cochin type printed damp on La Garde hand-made paper (made in France prior to WWII), oblong measuring 5 3/4" by 7 1/4", pagination: [1-4] 5-43 [1, blank] [colophon, signed by Charles Guenther]. Prospectus is a single sheet measuring 10 7/8" (unfolded) by 6 1/4", the right and bottom edges uncut, the stylized barbed wire decoration in brown beneath the title of the book, folded twice (presumably for mailing). ___CONDITION: Fine overall, the binding clean and without blemish, the corners straight and unrubbed, a strong, square text block with solid hinges, the interior clean and bright, and entirely free of prior owner markings; a minute amount of rubbing at the head and tail of the spine, else fine. Prospectus also fine, clean and without wear, with only the original mailing folds. ___POSTAGE: International customers, please note that additional postage may apply as the standard does not always cover costs; please inquire for details. ___Swan's Fine Books is pleased to be a member of the ABAA, ILAB, and IOBA and we stand behind every book we sell.
