Margaret Mead's DePauw
Archives and Special Collections
Bibliography

Margaret Mead entered DePauw in 1919. She left after her freshman year to attend Barnard College. Her impressions of the university are recorded in her book, Blackberry Winter: My Earlier Years (NY: Simon and Schuster, 1972). The Archives has a number of resources which cover the same period in DePauw's history as Mead's recollections.
