Historical Note
Theodore Celms, Augustana College professor from 1949 to 1963 and 1967 to 1973, was one of the many scholars evacuated from Eastern Europe during World War II. Celms was an eyewitness to the Russian Revolution during his early life in Latvia and later lived as an expatriate in Germany. He was brought to Augustana College by former president Conrad Bergendoff to give students a perspective on Europe from a European scholar. His Philosophy of Culture class was popular among students. His former student, Robert Cooper, Augustana College class of 1963, compiled the collection.
