Marie P. Litzinger papers, Series 5

Bryn Mawr College

The selection consists of Litzinger's letters to her parents and sisters during her year studying in Rome (from July 1923 to June 1924). The content of the letters generally communicates college life at Bryn Mawr, an exchanging of advice, and a way for family to stay relevant in her life away from home. Most of the letters are two pages and express concerns about personal wellbeing, relationships between friends and professors, as well as advice and news on her professional development. While Litzinger continuously shared her excitement about her time at Bryn Mawr, her letters home also served as an outlet to receive emotional support from her family. Many of her letters begin and end with continued appreciation of receiving letters from home. Included among the letters are various other documents such as Litzinger's employment contracts with educational institutions for young women as well as evidence of her academic accolades (including receiving the European fellowship that provided for her study abroad in Rome and her yearly scholastic scholarships).
