Synopsis
Stewart w. McClelland was the 8th President of LMU. He arrived in August of 1932. He would be the one to bring balance back to the school, which was struggling financially and in the aftermath of a student strike. His path was very long and hard, however, in 1936, he succeeded in getting LMU admitted to the Southern Association as an accredited institute of higher education. This collection is comprised of 177 folders, containing biographical photographs, papers, undated correspondence, photocopies, speeches, sermons, and articles, contained in three boxes.
