This Just In: Glenn Earle McMillan Papers

Posted on by

A few weeks ago the family Dr. Glenn Earle McMillan deposited with Center for Restoration Studies the class notes, academic research, sermon notes and some memorabilia from Earle’s career as minister and teacher.  Shown here is a notebook he kept while a student at ACC; it contains notes he made in a course on the Greek Old Testament.

Included are materials from congregations he served, outlines and manuscripts of sermons, and many files of notes he used in preparation for his teaching at Abilene Christian College.  The papers are in the processing pipeline.  When processing is complete a finding aid will be published and they will be available for unrestricted research.

A patron came by the Digital Scholarship Center yesterday with several slides.  Among them were shots of an ACC tradition of yesteryear…the homecoming bonfire.  Quite a sight isn’t it?  Look about half-way up the telephone pole on the left to see a fearless student ascend the tower.
