Mercer University. Board of Trustees

The Columbus Roberts Papers include personal records (clippings/time line, correspondence, manuscript, photographs, recordings of interviews, scrapbook, and speeches) as well as materials related to the Georgia Milk Control Board, the Georgia Milk Producers Confederation, the Georgia Temperance League, and Mercer University.

The Homer Drake Collection documents Drake’s relationship with Mercer University in the last three decades of his life. It includes correspondence, meeting minutes, news articles, publications, and other materials from his time on the Board of Trustees and his activities promoting university athletics, especially the football program when it restarted in 2013.

The John Green Harrison Collection is comprised of notes from Harrison’s time as a student and faculty member. Series 1 consists of his notes from his time at the University of Berlin. Series 2 consists of boxes 3-9. Boxes 3-9 contain notebooks from while Mr. Harrison was at Mercer. Most of the notebooks are in poor condition. The covers are about to fall off, and the writing is illegible due to smudging.

With this collection comes two boxes of Pinckney Pollock’s work. In box 1, one can find correspondence, and within box 2 one can find memorial addresses, newspaper clippings, and Trustees’ Minutes excerpts.
