​As explained elsewhere in Dr. Lungstrom's sections, his book is hardly known about by the community and Bethany College and due to its most importance to the college's foundational history and to the culture and persons of those days, it is imperative that as much of this book be shared now.  Also explained elsewhere, Dr. Lungstrom's book should most certainly be digitalized for posterity and perpetuity. 
Please note that these are incomplete and may be in disarray. 
 They will be the last priority to finish in the months ahead.
