Parkinson, Daniel Baldwin 1845-1923
Daniel B. Parkinson papers, 1897-1913.
This small collection of lectures and addresses made by Daniel B. Parkinson is, unfortunately, undated. It is presumed that the speeches were made during Dr. Parkinson's years at Southern Illinois Normal University as President, 1897-1913, and that perhaps some of the lectures were made while he was teaching Physics and Chemistry, 1894-1897.
Born and raised near Highland, Illinois, Parkinson graduated from McKendree College in 1868 and joined SINU's first faculty in 1874. Parkinson taught physical science until 1897 when he took over as president, serving until 1913.
