Allen Carl Larson Collection of Conrad N. Hilton and Sisters of Loretto Correspondence
When Dr. Allen Carl Larson joined the music faculty of then Webster College in 1973, he discovered a treasure trove of historical correspondence concerning the funding of the Loretto-Hilton Center which opened in 1966. Letters exchanged between the famous hotelier Conrad Hilton, the college president Sr. Francetta Barberis, and the vice-president Sr. Jacqueline Grennan provide unique insight into their friendship and the growth of Webster College in the 1960s. Years later, Dr. Larson would publish a book on his discovery and donate the collection to the Webster University Archives.
