Meet the Authors

The Community in the Columns exhibit was put together by a team of students at the College of Wooster in the summer of 2020. Laura (2023), Georgina (2022), and Owen (2021) were advised by Professor Greg Shaya, and the other faculty of the Wooster Digital History Project. The students are huge fans of Mr. John H Oberly, and hope you enjoyed learning about him (as well as other aspects of the newspapers) during your visit today.
