Series 4: General, 1845 -- 1911
This series is open for research.
0.25 linear feet; 0.25 linear feet; 1 box
This series contains, in Folder 1, two copies (one clothbound) of the program for the inaugural services of Hastings as professor of sacred rhetoric on September 22, 1881. Folder 2 contains a program for the memorial service held in Hastings' honor on April 28, 1911. Folder 3 contains a travel diary describing a European tour in 1903. Folder 4 contains two photographs: one in which Hastings appears with eleven other men and which may have been taken at Hamilton College and a second that depicts the Eills family and may have been sent to Hastings in celebration of the New Year. Folder 5 contains an additional travel diary describing a European tour in 1883; however, given certain qualities of the diary, such as certain terms employed, the youthful tone of the writing, and devotion to describing works of art and architecture encountered in detail, it appears that it is likely to have been written by Hastings' son, the architect Thomas Hastings (1860-1929). Folder 6 contains a diary of Hastings' father, Thomas Hastings (1784-1872). The volume includes handwritten verse and what appear to be notes regarding hymns, as well as journal entries beginning in 1845.
This series is unarranged.
