St. Olaf Archives publishes Ytterboe memoir

By David Gonnerman '90
November 19, 2009

The St. Olaf College Archives has published Reminiscences, the memoir of Elise Ytterboe, who was the wife of Professor H. T. Ytterboe. In addition to marking this year's Founders Day (Nov. 6), the publication coincides with the 40th anniversary of the St. Olaf College Archives.

The Ytterboe memoir is the first in a projected series of short archival publications, called “Ole Voices,” about St. Olaf history. The book gives readers a feel for what life at St. Olaf was like when Old Main was new, and faculty and students lived together on campus. It also looks at celebrating Christmas and generating electricity for lights. 

The book is viewable for free from the Archives. Hard copies can be purchased from the St. Olaf Bookstore.
