Remembrances of "Doc" Magnusson by former students, 1969-1984

The collection on J.P. Magnusson, 1969-1984, was compiled by Dr. Melbert Peterson who, along with the rest of the Augustana College chemistry department, called for remembrances of J.P. Magnusson in the April 1982 Augustana College Magazine and the annual Augustana Department of Chemistry alumni Christmas letter of 1981. The collection contains the letters received in response to these requests, as well as longer narratives written by Dr. Fritiof Fryxell. One of the narratives by Fryxell is about the building of the Wallberg Hall of Science, which touches on Magnusson's involvement in this endeavor. There are also several relevant letters that predate the call for information.
