    <head>Summary</head>
<p>While the majority of these papers relate to memoirists, a few acquired by the Oral History Office do not. In 1950 when these papares were given to Special Collections, those papers numerous enough to constitute separate collections were so processed. See a separate description sheetfor each of the following individuals: James T. Adams; Eleanor R. Belmont; John A. Dix; Genevieve Earle; Abraham Epstein; Bella Fabian; George McAneny; Herbert Parsons; William Prendergast; Joseph M. Price; Henry A. Wallace; Charles S. Whitman.</p>  </scopecontent>
