Board of Trustees, 1941.

The Olivet College sub-series reflects Brewers effort to establish a tutorial teaching system at the college, following the example used at Oxford University. In 1941 controversy began to swirl through the college apparently the result of R.E. Blackwell's opposition to Brewer and the tutorial curriculum. The papers document this controversy in detail. The controversy lessened for several years, but resurfaced in 1944 whereupon Brewer resigned. The Collection also reflect the writers workshop through which Brewer brought the likes of Gertrude Stein, Robert Frost, et. al. to the Olivet Campus.
