Detailed Description of the Series

 

Morehouse College, 1944-1962

Physical Description:
0.25 Linear feet
Subseries Description:
The subseries consists of materials from courses Martin Luther King, Jr. took at Morehouse College, administrative documents, and papers related to his teaching a seminar in Social Philosophy. Included are annotated blue book exams, class notes, lists of exam questions, and a short essay about history. There are also typed notes about philosophy from the summer of 1946 that appear to have been taken by someone else since King did not take a philosophy class until 1947-1948. A brochure with 55 Facts about Morehouse and form letter from the Department of Dormitory Life about finding employment provide information about the college and its activities. King’s official transcript, reproduced in 1950, indicates his early struggles with academic work. The subseries also contains outlines, notes, a class role, and two sets of exam questions from the Seminar in Social Philosophy King taught during the 1961-1962 school year, focusing on several prominent philosophers and their theories. Also included are bibliographies and reading lists prepared by Kenneth Underwood that may have been used in preparation for the course.

Crozer Theological Seminary, 1941-1951

Physical Description:
0.85 Linear feet
Subseries Description:
The subseries contains papers from King’s theological coursework, bibliographic resources, records about the seminary, and other documents related to this stage of his education. Class notes, essays, sermon outlines, exam questions, and reports discuss several topics including worship, public service, the Old Testament, theology, ministry, philosophy, Christianity, science, esthetics, and ethics. One of his classes, the Problems of Esthetics, was taken at University of Pennsylvania. Along with these manuscripts are pamphlets, bibliographies, and other items presumably used in his classes on Public Worship, the Ministers Use of Radio, and Christian Theology. As a student, King appears to have used the Filco Memory-O-Matic system, Filco Reference Library, a filing system for illustrations, and lists of books selected by Bucknell Librarian Edward C. Starr to conduct research and organize citations. The subseries also has his transcript of record, comprehensive examinations instructions, a brochure about the seminary, an order of service for the student chapel, and volume 42, number 3 of The Bulletin. In addition, there are King’s Graduate Record Exam scores, an announcement for pulpit robes, and religious book club order forms.
