 Scope and Content

The materials give a small glimpse into the teaching career of Adkins at Northwestern State University of Louisiana. The bulk of the correspondence consists of memorandums for the music faculty regarding procedures and other issues. The instructional materials include notes, sheet music and procedures. Some of these materials were authored by May Beville, another music instructor. As a result, it is uncertain whether Adkins actually utilized these resources herself. The term papers included in the collection are also linked to Beville, as students for her class did them. The minutes document meetings of the music department faculty, of which Adkins was a member, though many times absent. The get-well cards relate the strong feelings of appreciation her students had for her.
