There are many treasures in our archive. I thought it might be interesting to occasionally show a photograph of one or two of them. Today I present a booklet written by M’Ledge Moffett with the title Youth Looks at Marriage- A guide for the study of Marriage and Family Life. The booklet was written in 1949 and this particular one was autographed by Ms. Moffett in 1954. While she was never married, she did provide insight and advice for those who were considering it for themselves.
M’Ledge Moffet was the Director of Home Economics from 1913-1944 and the Dean of Women from 1920-1962. She was born in 1892, the only child of William Ledgerwood Moffett and Mary Stoops Moffett and her name was formed from shortened versions of her parents names, Mary and Ledgerwood. We have many items from Ms. Moffett’s personal and professional life in our archive. If you are interested in seeing any of it in person, please contact us for an appointement, we would be happy to show it to you.
The following are a few random pages from the 48 page booklet.

Is the information folders this page available on the internet?
Hi Ms. Schwartz,
We only have the finding aid for that collection available online. An in-person visit to the Archives would be necessary to research the collection. Please contact us at archives@radford.edu if you have any questions.
