William Singleton Papers

 Collection
Identifier: MU-PP-0120

Scope and Contents

The collection contains a book that was given to William Singleton from Thomas Stocks. Singleton wrote that the book was given to him at Penfield in 1863, and a good third of the volume includes mathematical problems from 1864. Lists of Mercer matriculates from the administration of Pres. H. H. Tucker, dating from the Spring 1867 term through the Fall 1870 term, follow the mathematical problems. The next section of the volume is mainly blank pages with a few loose items interfiled followed by another page of Mercer matriculates (of uncertain date) two pages inside the “back” cover.
