Oratory--Study and teaching

Edna Marie Sale graduated from Northwestern University (School of Oratory) in 1907. She was an active member of Zeta Phi Eta, the professional communication fraternity. The series consists of unbound pages from Sale's scrapbook, along with many associated loose items. Of particular value is Sale's notebook relating to coursework in physical culture.

The minutes of the meetings of the faculty of the School of Speech document the development of policy and other administrative matters of the School from its inception in 1892 through 1968. Among various matters recorded in the minutes are the adoption of new or revised rules and degree requirements, curricular changes, committee appointments, reports of committees, recommendations for student awards and honors and for promotion and graduation of students, and student petitions.
