Biographical NoteReturn to Top

Edwin A. Sherwood received his A.B. and A.M. from Ohio Wesleyan University, and his D.D. from Drew Theological Seminary located in Madison, New Jersey. He then spent two semesters doing post graduate work at the University of Leipzig in Germany (1894-1895). Memories of his time in Germany and Europe became the foundation for his lecture "Land of the Rhine," which he delivered in various towns in Ohio during the early 1900s. Sherwood was a pastor in Somerset, Ohio until 1907, when he joined Willamette University's faculty as a professor of Latin and Greek. Sherwood taught in the College of Liberal Arts and the College of Theology (later named the Kimball School of Theology) until his unexpected death in early 1922. The Wallulah yearbook from that year reports that on his death "hearts were deeply stirred, as Dr. Sherwood was not just a remarkable scholar and fine teacher, but a brother loved."

Content DescriptionReturn to Top

The collection is comprised of 95 lantern slides, handwritten notes, and the lecture Sherwood used for his "Land of the Rhine" presentation. Also included are reviews of the lecture describing it in positive terms such as "pleasing and very instructive." The reviews date mostly from 1904 with a few from 1902, 1905, and 1906. The collection includes a small number of miscellaneous items related to Sherwood, including the front page from an 1895 Leipzig newspaper.
