History of Biography or History
Otterbein University (formerly known as Otterbein College, 1917-2010) was founded in 1847 and is located in Westerville, Ohio.
It was named after Philip William Otterbein, a founder of the Church of the United Brethren in Christ. Otterbein’s historical
connections with international missions and ongoing engagement with social justice issues have given the institution a diverse
group of alumni and supporters. In the late 1960s, Otterbein College had a large number of alumni and contacts in leadership
positions throughout Sierra Leone. These connections and the unique opportunity for students and professors to analyze the
role of education in economic, political, and social change within a different culture, prompted the Education Department
to develop the Sierra Leone Foreign Study Program in Comparative Education. This program required students to participate
in Autumn and Spring seminar courses studying Sierra Leone, International Education, and developing individual research studies.
The students, and a faculty sponsor, spent the ten-week Winter quarter in Sierra Leone working and observing in schools and
universities.
The program was initiated by Mildred James Louise Stauffer. Stauffer was hired as an assistant professor of Education in 1964.
She eventually used her experience and data from the Otterbein Sierra Leone Comparative Education Program to complete her
doctoral dissertation at The Ohio State University in 1973. Dr. Chester Addington was an Education professor at Otterbein
from 1961-1988. During the late 1960s and early 1970s, Addington served as the Head of the Education Department. Otterbein
and the Education Department, under Addington’s leadership, had a history of supporting International Education. They were
founding members of the Regional Council for International Education (RCIE). Stauffer and Addington, along with other supporters,
including Otterbein President, Dr. Lynn Turner, and a small group of individuals working in Sierra Leone (i.e. the Sierra
Leone Foreign Study Committee), spearheaded the development and funding for the program. Stauffer spent time in Sierra Leone
in 1968 forming the Sierra Leone Foreign Study Committee and developing contacts within universities, schools, and the Sierra
Leone Department of Education. Stauffer led the seminar instruction and accompanied the 1969-1970 group. Addington took over
the seminar courses with the 1970-1971 group and accompanied the second trip to Sierra Leone. In this second year, non-Education
majors and students from other universities (e.g. Ohio Wesleyan University) were admitted to the program. In 1970, the American
Association of Colleges for Teacher Education (AACTE) recognized the program in its distinguished award publication. Planning
for the 1971-1972 trip started; however, political unrest in Sierra Leone and program funding difficulties required the program
to be abandoned.
Scope and Content
The Sierra Leone / Stauffer Collection documents the development and operations of Otterbein College’s Sierra Leone Foreign
Study Program in Comparative Education. The program was developed from 1967 to 1971 by Mildred James Louise Stauffer, assistant
professor of Education, and Dr. Chester Addington, Head of the Education Department. The program was cancelled after only
two years due to financial constraints and political unrest in Sierra Leone. Students were enrolled in Fall and Spring seminar
courses, and they spent the ten-week, Winter quarter in Sierra Leone working in schools and universities.
Developing and funding the program took a great deal of collaboration with supporters and contacts throughout the United State
and Western Africa. The majority of the contents of this collection were generated through efforts to establish the academic
courses and research, orchestrate travel and accommodations, and raise financial and social support for the overall program.
Other items within the collection, such as newspapers, reflect the cultural and historical context in which the program was
developed and carried out.
There are multiple types of materials within the collection. Documents in the form of correspondence, memorandums, handwritten
notes, project reports, seminar outlines, newsletters, brochures, and leaflets make up the majority of the collection. There
are also newspapers, books, and booklets used during the preparatory seminar or collected while in Sierra Leone. There are
photographs from the 1969-1970 trip. Collection ephemera includes original promotional leaflets, a notebook with handwritten
daily records, a unique Sierra Leone classroom schedule, and several maps. The collection includes correspondences and other
materials from the Sierra Leone Ministry of Education, the Sierra Leone United Christian Council, Sierra Leone Conference
of the United Methodist Church, Njala University College, Fourah Bay College of the University of Sierra Leone, and leadership
of multiple primary and secondary schools throughout Sierra Leone. There are also materials relating to collaborative international
Education organizations within the United States, specifically, the Regional Council for International Education (RCIE).

their national education programs. In “RCIE” (03) an RCIE Newsletter, Volume III, Issue II, November 1970, gives a short report
regarding the 1969-1970 Otterbein Sierra Leone Program. Finally, the “Proposed RCIE Faculty Seminar” (05) was a plan for an
inter-university, international, and cross-disciplinary collaboration to examine the educational development of Sierra Leone.

were involved in the planning.

Box 1
Series 10: Newspapers and Clippings, 1968-1973
Scope and Content: The Newspapers and Clippings series contains three folders and consists of newspapers, magazines, newspaper clippings, and
photocopies of articles. The newspapers within this collection can be grouped in two categories. The first category is local
and regional papers, including The Tan and Cardinal, The Exponent (Baldwin-Wallace College), and Ohio West News, a United
Methodist publication. The second category is international papers, including Sierra Leone papers the Daily Mail and Unity
Independent, as well as, an International Herald Tribune from Paris. A few of the newspapers have articles that relate directly
to this collection; most of these articles can be found in the U.S. based newspapers. One edition of the Freetown Daily Mail
from Wednesday, July 30, 1969 mentions Stauffer by name and touches on her plans to set up a foreign study program. The relevant
articles include short program descriptions, funding sources, and content created by the Sierra Leone Program Otterbein students.
Statement of Arrangement: Most newspapers in this collection were found grouped together in two folders. However, any newsprint material, including
entire newspapers, found within the collection has been moved into this series and rehoused in order to protect other collection
materials. When a newspaper or clipping was found in specific folders throughout the series, two photocopies of the relevant
article were made and housed in that original folder. If the contents did not align with the original folder, the original
newspaper and the photocopies were moved into this series in folders 49 (newspapers) and 50 (photocopies).

Box 1
Series 11: Ephemera, 1966-1972
Scope and Content: The Ephemera series contains eleven folders and consists of leaflets, postcards, printed and handwritten documents, multiple
notebooks, maps, and a brochure. Several of the items within this series offer unique insight into the Sierra Leone Program.
Folders 56 and 57 have daily accounts of the 1969-1970 Sierra Leone trip. Folder 52 contains the original Sierra Leone Program
promotional leaflets for both years, and folder 53 contains several handwritten postcards from Stauffer while in Sierra Leone.
Also, in folder 58 there is a large handwritten classroom schedule from a Sierra Leone classroom, which shows a typical weekly
schedule for the pupils. Other materials in this series, such as, the maps and orientation materials were used in preparation
for the trips. Finally, there are a few items within the series that were found with the collection, but they do not appear
to have any direct relevance on the collection as a whole, such as, the Peugeot 404 car brochure.
Statement of Arrangement: The items in this series were moved from various locations throughout the collection. Attempts were made to arrange the items
to improve user access. However, in some situations, items were moved because of housing issues (e.g. orange spiral notebook).
A few items were moved to this series because they did not align with any other series (e.g. Peugeot 404 brochure).
