Series Description:

From the Series:

Essays, notebooks, examinations, documents and other material, 1904-32, relating to Coffin's education in the Brunswick schools, Bowdoin, Princeton and Oxford; arranged chronologically, with all diplomas together at the end.

The school material (1904-11) includes Coffin's class work, essays and notebooks (three marked "English III" appear to be for different courses), and other printed and manuscript items.

The Bowdoin material, 1911-15, contains essays, notebooks and examinations, especially papers for English and other classes. There are literary works, many published in the Quill, Bowdoin's literary magazine; prize essays submitted for competitions or for commencement; and printed ephemera.

Course notebooks and essays are also contained in the Princeton (1915-16) and Oxford (1916-17, 1919-21) sections; as well as class material and other documents, including the draft of Coffin's Oxford thesis on John Donne. The contents of an Oxford "notebook", now disbound, includes letters, drafts, essays, and other memorabilia relating to Coffin's year in England, but extends through 1932, when he was a member of the Wells College faculty.
