A small portion of this series contains correspondence with and/or pertaining to George E. Stone, an Assistant and Associate Professor in Journalism from 1934 through 1956. Although this correspondence is mostly personal in nature, it was included with the professional materials due to professional relationship between Dr. Bentel and Professor Stone and the position both men held as members of the SJSC faculty.
