Abstract | John McLaren McBryde (1841-1923) was a professor of agriculture and university professor at several Southern schools. His son, John McLaren McBryde Junior (1870-1956) was an English professor. The collection includes papers, chiefly correspondence 1882-1920, of John McLaren McBryde and his son, John McLaren McBryde Junior. Papers relate to the father's teaching at the University of Tennessee, his presidencies of South Carolina College and Virginia Polytechnic Institute; and to the son's career at Sweet Briar College and the University of the South, where he edited the Sewanee Review, 1909-1919. Papers after 1919, while McBryde Junior, was at Tulane University, relate chiefly to aspects of his father's career. Volumes include McBryde Senior's diary as a schoolboy in Abbeville, S.C., 1856, and his journals documenting his farming near Charlottesville, Va., 1868-1869. |
