1926 Dr. J. Oliver Buswell Jr. Calligraphy Resolution - Wheaton College President History. Member of Presbyterian Church. Pre-owned leather is crumbly. Shipping is USPS.
Provenance & Context:This is an original, hand-calligraphed Resolution of Ministry honoring Dr. J. Oliver Buswell Jr. (3rd President of Wheaton College).

This page captures the exact moment he transitioned from a successful pastorate to becoming one of the most influential (and sometimes controversial) college presidents in American history. It is a prime piece of Presbyterian and Wheaton College ephemera.
Date: Circa 1926.
Script: Elegant hand-inked Blackletter/Gothic calligraphy.
Subject: Statistical growth and spiritual impact of Dr. Buswell’s ministry.
My family loves to recycle or re-purpose vintage and antique items. We try to find them loving homes where they are not stuck in a drawer or box, nor put into the trash. We are proud \"dumpster divers\". Remember, if you want items that are like new, purchase new, but then you don\'t get the great sense of recycling and re-purposing. All items are sold \"as is\". Please ask questions before offerding/purchasing :)
