Fidelis Grivel, SJ (b. 1769) who was novice master at both Whitemarsh and Frederick. From the introduction, one learns that Plowden had written the instructions at Stonyhurst, apparently in the 18th c., that a copy had been used in Russia by Fr. Rogalinsky, SJ, (d. ca 1812) and that this particular MS includes modifications appropriate to the locality that had been introduced by the visitor, Rev. Peter Kenny, SJ, ca 1830-1833.

DESCRIPTION: This is a medium-size MS notebook bound within boards which carries the following on the title page: "Miscellanea disponendis actionibis novitiorum in vita religiosa." It carries no date, name, or place, only saying that it was written by the Master of Novices. Partly in English, partly in Latin, the subjects addressed are: meditation, a summary of the Constitutions, rules for living in the community, and a long section on practices that one ought to carry out in seeking the road to perfection.
DATE SPAN: [01/01/1890]? - [12/31/1910]?
DESCRIPTION: This is a locally-produced booklet of music done by a mimeograph-like system (not printed) and bound within a soft cover bearing the title (reproduced by the same method): "Holy Week Music, Novitiate, Frederick, MD." No other information as to date or source appears, except that the miserere is attributed to "Spoth." Other loose sheets of music were placed in the booklet--"DeVico's Responses" (1893), and other loose sheets among which appear the name, Fr. A. Francis Burke, SJ. Some of the music is in multiple copies.
DATE SPAN: 09/11/1869 - 02/26/1890

DATE SPAN: 01/30/1901 - 05/31/1919
DESCRIPTION: Most of these letters went from Woodstock College to the Rector at Georgetown.
DATE SPAN: 12/21/1920 - 10/05/1929

DESCRIPTION: Few letters from the thirties, mostly to and from Rev. Coleman Nevils, SJ, president of Georgetown.
DATE SPAN: 08/15/1940 - 07/07/1948
DESCRIPTION: The few letters in this period continue to be largely between Woodstock College and Georgetown.
DATE SPAN: 10/18/1950 - 12/03/1954
DESCRIPTION: Letters, mostly carbon copies of outgoing correspondence from Georgetown president's office to Woodstock College.
DATE SPAN: 06/09/1955 - 12/29/1959

DATE SPAN: 09/01/1893 - 06/28/1895
DESCRIPTION: This is a bound volume, within boards, in which are entered the constitution, member list, notes and discussion record of the "Woodstock Academy for the Study of the Ratio." The members were largely concerned with an exact determination of the intent of the text, not with 19th c. questions in educational theory.
DATE SPAN: 09/03/1884 - 04/01/1893
DESCRIPTION: Three printed items; two from Woodstock College's press, one about Woodstock. The first is the report of a provincial commission directed to study the teaching of physical sciences in schools. The second is a reprint from the North American Review of an article, "Why Am I a Catholic?" The third is an 1893 issue of the Fordham Monthly devoted almost entirely to Woodstock.
DATE SPAN: 05/17/1871 - 12/31/1890
DESCRIPTION: Nine lists, mostly printed but some MS, of "Theses Propugnandae" and "Theses Pro Examine" in theology and philosophy, covering at different times cosmology, psychology, experimental physics, metaphysics, creation, incarnation, grace, baptism, confirmation, communion, sacraments in general, infused virtues, punishment, and moral philosophy.
DATE SPAN: 01/01/1869 - 12/31/1890
DESCRIPTION: A variety of material pertaining to the first twenty years of Woodstock College: welcome speech and student poems to Bp., lists of community for first year, those ordained, financial statement for college for 1877-1878, inscriptions, undated programs, menus, and student club activities.
DATE SPAN: 01/01/1894 - 12/31/1894
DESCRIPTION: Ten-page typed MS that briefly but thoroughly provides a history and description of Woodstock at the end of its first thirty-five years. Covers general history, numbers, rectors, professors, the press, "Woodstock Letters," physical plant, missions, bequests, and library.
DATE SPAN: [01/01/1870]? - 02/24/1879
DESCRIPTION: Small printed items, generally programs, from the Woodstock College Press. They demonstrate student interests and activities; show the programs given visitors (such as the Abp of Baltimore), those given on St. Catherine's Day, given on scientific and mechanical subjects, and given to departing Fathers. Considering the components of the programs, with music, poems, and speeches, they show that during this period the College was largely dependent upon its own resources for entertainment.
DATE SPAN: 01/01/1880 - 12/31/1889
DESCRIPTION: Generally smaller printed items, from the Woodstock College Press, for receptions, St. Catherine's Day, farewell testimonials, carnival, disputations, installations, plays, jubilees, Christmas, readings, plays, and music.
DATE SPAN: 01/01/1890 - 12/31/1899
DESCRIPTION: Small printed items, generally from the Woodstock College Press, of programs for Christmas, greetings for new priests, elocution programs, St. Catherine's Day, carnival, jubilees, and plays. There are also two small, locally-produced pocket-size songbooks for use on outings.
DATE SPAN: [01/01/1889]? - [12/31/1893]?
DESCRIPTION: Several articles from newspapers--Catholic and other--about Woodstock, visits to it by the Apostolic Delegate, and ordinations.
DATE SPAN: [01/01/1922]? - [12/31/1925]?
DESCRIPTION: Included is a reviewer's critique of an article, notes on arrangements (in the motor bus age) to go to St. Inigoes on vacation, and curricula for Woodstock and two other Jesuit training schools in the province.
DATE SPAN: 01/01/1910 - 12/31/1915
DESCRIPTION: "The Teachers' Review" was a quarterly journal published by the Maryland-New York Province at Woodstock from 1910 for several years for the use of the Jesuits only. Less concerned with the "Ratio" than earlier Jesuit pedagogic thought had been, it evolved into a general educational journal, with articles written by Jesuits throughout the country. This collection has nos 1-21, except that 12 and 14-19 are missing.
DATE SPAN: 01/01/1907 - 12/31/1929
DESCRIPTION: One letter from the General to the Provincials on the degrees that could be conferred by Woodstock; outline of a 1907 essay on Loyola and Milton; two theses propounded for debate, one on the divinity of Jesus and the other on the character of the Roman pontificate.
DATE SPAN: [01/01/1929]? - [12/31/1937]?
DESCRIPTION: A variety of material: essays, poems, radio script, menu, and obituary.

DESCRIPTION: Printed material from the Woodstock College Press and elsewhere of programs for ordinations, plays, essays, lectures, and concerts.
DATE SPAN: 01/01/1910 - 12/31/1919
DESCRIPTION: Printed material for jubilees, dissertation defences, programs, plays, and obituaries.
DATE SPAN: 01/01/1920 - 12/31/1929
DESCRIPTION: Progams, cards, sheets, pamphlets, booklets, bulletins, and forms for Woodstock College.
DATE SPAN: [01/01/1915]? - [12/31/1952]?
DESCRIPTION: Several typewritten histories of Woodstock. One, of about 23 pp. appears to be by Devitt, Rev. E.I., SJ, or derived from the kinds of histories that he wrote. It covers 1869 until 1915 and is in two slightly different versions. There is also a recapitulation of the numbers of priests ordained at Woodstock from 1870 through 1940, and finally, there is an amusing account by Fr. Repetti of the installation of electricity (with their own plant) in about 1919. The account is incomplete in many technical respects (what kind of fuel and steam-engine was used) but reminds one of his account of the installation of indoor plumbing at one of the Residences in Southern Maryland.
DATE SPAN: 02/06/1925 - 12/05/1944
DESCRIPTION: This folder is organized on different principals than the earlier parts of the series. It is limited to one subject--the so-called "integration" of Woodstock College and Georgetown, including the discussions leading up to it, the signing of the agreement in 1935, and the eventual dissolution of the "integration" in 1944. The original purpose of affiliating the two appeared to be to meet a need or desire to give standard terminology (A.B., A.M., Ph.D.) to the degrees that Woodstock College was awarding, so that the world outside the Society would understand the relative value of the degrees that Jesuits had been awarded. Attaching Woodstock to Georgetown was thus a way to provide the necessary measure and value to Woodstock's education. In 1944 Woodstock obtained its own accreditation and did not, therefore, need any longer to be attached to Georgetown.
DATE SPAN: [01/01/1915]? - [12/31/1968]?
DESCRIPTION: This is a folder of material limited to the subject of the missions served FROM Woodstock College, including the parish church of St. Alphonsus Rodriguez at Woodstock itself. Little of this is original material; most is historical MSS from a late period, with one late clipping concerning a fire.
DATE SPAN: [01/01/1950]? - [12/31/1969]?
DESCRIPTION: This is a variety of notes, ordination lists, clippings, jubilee programs and other items pertaining to Woodstock College during its final two decades of existence.
DATE SPAN: 06/01/1964 - 10/23/1964
DESCRIPTION: Printed program, letters before and after, and typed commentaries on the conference of "Institute" which was entirely a Jesuit affair. They obtained no commentary from non-Jesuits, Catholic or non-Catholic.
DATE SPAN: [01/01/1969]? - [12/31/1971]?
DESCRIPTION: This file, largely clippings, but also containing a few letters, covers part of the discussion preceding the decision to transfer Woodstock College to New York City, the closing itself, and some information on the subsequent use of the facility after its sale.
DATE SPAN: [01/01/1900]? - [12/31/1970]?
DESCRIPTION: Clippings about Woodstock, most of a descriptive character for the general newspaper reader--some about ordinations, some about a fire, and a few about particular events--deaths generally.
DATE SPAN: 01/01/1940 - 12/31/1944
DESCRIPTION: Two booklets. The first is a fundraising booklet from 1940, treating the American Jesuits as a whole--education and missions--and with no special mention of Woodstock except that it was printed there. The second celebrates the 1944 Diamond Jubilee of Woodstock. The latter provides many good photos, especially interior shots, as well an historical sketch.
DATE SPAN: [01/01/1905]? - [12/31/1939]?
DESCRIPTION: Group photos of two ordination classes at Woodstock--1920 and 1939, and individual photos of Br. John Himmelreicher.
DATE SPAN: 01/01/1872 - 12/31/1872
DESCRIPTION: An offprint of his obituary from "Woodstock Letters," and the MS copy of a poem written upon this death by a friend at Woodstock College. Unusual in this collection, there is a copy of his obituary notice printed on a piece of silk ribbon.
