Record Group: 6 C Scope and Content Note (A02-81; A02-101) Biographical Note: Loren Dudley Reid was born in Gilman City, Missouri in 1905; his parents were Dudley and Josephine Tarwater Reid. His father edited the weekly Gilman City Guide. The family moved to Osceola, Iowa where Reid graduated from high school in 1922. Reid received his BA from Grinnell College in 1927, and his MA and Ph.D. from Grinnell College in 1930 and 1933, respectively. He began his teaching career during the height of the Great Depression in 1933 as a high school speech teacher in Kansas City, Missouri. In 1935 he first became an instructor then an assistant professor at the University of Missouri in 1935. He moved to a position as an assistant then associate professor at Syracuse University in Syracuse, New York in 1939, where he remained until 1944, when he returned to the University of Missouri as a full professor. He was chairman of the Speech Department from 1946 to 1951 and from 1965 to 1966. Professor Reid was an energetic academic with many interests that ranged from railroads to mystery codes to British oratory, which made him well-liked as a visiting professor. Throughout the 1940s and 1950s he taught at many institutions, which gave him and his family the opportunity to visit different parts of the United States and to travel overseas as well. Additionally, he was a popular guest speaker, often delivering keynote addresses at commencement exercises and other affairs. He was instrumental in establishing speech as a serious field of study, and was a founding member and officer in more than one professional speech society, including the Speech Association of America. He served as editor or on the editorial board for many of the speech journals, was a prolific contributor to journals, magazines, and newspapers, and authored or co-authored numerous books. He was married to Agusta Towner Reid in 1930, who taught English at the University of Missouri . They had four children, Ellen Jane, John Christopher, Stephen, and Don Anthony. Reid retired from the University in 1975; however, he continued to research, write, and lecture with as much zeal into the 1990s as he had in the 1930s. Series Descriptions: This Record Sub-Group is divided into eleven series. Series One contains personal papers from among Professor Reid's mother, father, brother, and wife (assorted personal correspondence); there also is a folder containing extensive genealogical research on both the Tarwater and Reid families. Series Two contains college term papers, class reunion keepsakes, including photographs, correspondence, and newspaper clippings. Series Three contains a variety of material pertaining to Professor Reid's activities in numerous speech associations. Series Four contains notes and photographs for a history of the Speech Department that Professor Reid prepared, as well as lecture notes, handouts, syllabuses, clippings, etc. for one of his most popular courses, Speech 110, Great Speakers. Series Five contains notes, drafts, final copies, clippings, and correspondence regarding, speeches, lectures, and articles by Professor Reid covering the period 1930s to 1990s. Series Six contains items that display the range of Professor Reid's talents: articles he wrote 1960s to 1990s, notes he gathered for a book idea (The Art of Teaching), and finally research, notes, and correspondence for works he did publish (Professor on the Loose, 1982-1984 and Speech Teacher: A Random Narrative, 1990). Series Seven contains British research and publications. Professor Reid and his wife spent five years reading, studying, and taking notes at the British Library. He was planning to write a comprehensive book about British orators; however, he never got around to it and hoped that someone might utilize these notes. He commented that, "many of these references would be found in only the largest libraries." Included in this Series also are several incomplete versions of his book Charles James Fox as well as final versions of the manuscript, notes for it, correspondence regarding it, photographs, and a variety of other materials pertinent to his interests in British orators. Series Eight contains the first draft of a manuscript Professor Reid wrote, which consisted of excerpts from great orators. There also is a manuscript of his self-published book entitled, Reflections. Series Nine contains reprints of many of Professor Reid"s published journal articles from 1930s to 1980s; they are arranged chronologically. Series Ten contains Volumes 1 through 3 (1953-1955) of the Crippled Turtle Press publications, which were a gift to Professor Reid from Dean Frank Luther Mott of the School of Journalism.
