Ernest B. Chamberlain papers, 1904-1969.
This collection contains the papers of Ernest B. Chamberlain, including materials related to his book "The Churchills of Oberlin : The Contributions of One Family to the College and to the World." These files include typed and handwritten notes and photographs used in the publication. Chamberlain also asked D. Carroll Churchill (1873-1969) for reminiscences of his father, Professor Charles Henry Churchill (1824-1904). Transcripts of the tapes Carroll Churchill dictated in 1962 for this project are included in these files; they cover topics such as Professor Churchills teaching of astronomy and physics and his relationship with his former student and fellow professor, inventor Elisha Gray (1835-1901).
