The Richard E. Nichol papers houses the personal papers of Dr. Richard E. Nichol. This collection, which dates from 1947 to 1949, consists of class notes and drawings from his education at the University of Oregon Dental School. These meticulously kept notebooks and the drawings within evidence the work of medical students during the mid-20th century. This collection is invaluable in showcasing the change in study habits over the years as technology advanced and the importance of artistic abilities for medical students fell to the wayside. These notebooks show the student artist at the peak of ability.
