Scope & Content |
Ida Geyler Tollenger attended the Pennsylvania Academy of the FIne Art Country School at Yellow Springs from 1930-31. While postage was 2 cents at the time, Tollenger had to keep a strict eye on her budget. It was the depression and she worked designing greeting cards to pay for the school. She did send a series of letters to her family detailing her daily life at the school. She gives descriptions of the food, countryside, the tea room, music, scholarships, her travels, people she studied with, holidays, exhibitions, recreation, church and personal information re her clothes. These letters give an insight into daily life at the Country School. |
