"History of Natural Science and Mathematics at Bethany College, Lindsborg, Kansas"
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.
RED FONT is for important study of Leon Lungstrom (1915-2000), and Emil O. Deere (1877-1966) on their lives, work and the Museum in Lindsborg and at Bethany College, sometimes also including Deere's wife, Lydia Sohlberg Deere (1873-1943).
