Collection Overview
Scope and Contents of the Materials
Contents include a variety of materials from the life of Eastern Kentucky State Teacher's College President Herman L. Donovan, the 5th president in the official Eastern narrative. Items include a few custom printed Donovan Family Christmas cards, typed note cards from speeches he delivered, as well as inauguration banquet and farewell dinner programs. Of special interest is a small pamphlet titled "Your Work: A Charge to the Class of 1933", in which President Donovan addresses the Depression Era graduating class with an assertive and consoling tone. Donovan encourages the 1933 alum to look towards a future that has overcome the present state of affairs in society. Unlike the official Donovan Presidential Papers, this small collection reflects more about the personal life of Eastern's Depression Era president, rather than his public administrative persona and record.
