Scope and Contents of the Collection
The Beatrice Fry Hyslop Correspondence chiefly contains letters written to Helen M. Voorhees, class of 1915, describing Hyslop's search for a college-level teaching position in the field of history and her eventual decision to teach at Hunter College, New York City. Later letters describe her travels and research on the French Revolution in Northern France during several summers. As a Fulbright Scholar (1951-1952), Hyslop returned to France, where she described in letters to Voorhees, the simplicity of French living, her outings to art events, and briefly discussed her views on French and U.S. politics. Also included are several short published writings by Hyslop on the French Revolution. |
