4 SERIES DESCRIPTION Papers of Robert M. Campbell, including notes taken as a student and notes for his lectures. Descriptions of class content are taken from the College Catalogs and serve as an explanation of the courses. Most probably not a complete record of his work as an educator or engineer as the material was culled from boxes stored in a barn in Alfred.
