Robert A. Moller scrapbook
Collection — Box: 1
Identifier: MSA 329
Scope and Contents
The Robert A. Moller scrapbook documents the student and military life of Purdue Chemical Engineering student Robert Moller. Most content is related to Moller’s personal acquaintances, though the scrapbook includes several photographs of Purdue campus and scenes around the Greater Lafayette area. Because Moller withdrew from Purdue during his second year (February 1920), materials cover mostly first-year student experiences. The scrapbook includes clippings (information artifacts), photographs, and publications (documents). This collection may be useful to researchers interested in collegiate life, fashion, culture, and customs in the American midwest directly following the First World War (1919-1920).
