The MS 541 - Dorothea Lillian Poulin Woodside Papers contain manuscripts, newspaper articles, pamphlets, yearbooks, clothing, and medals/awards. Most of the items come from her time as a student at Springfield College (1934 to 1939). Items include her yearbooks from all four years. Some of these, in particular 1939, include messages from fellow students. School directories, school identification materials, and 1939 commencement materials are also included. Clothing includes her athletic sweat suit from her time as a student as well as her 1939 class beanie. A highly decorated swimmer throughout her life, there are swimming materials from the Red Cross, medals from High School and the YMCA, and a book and letter from Dr. Thomas Cureton, swimming coach and professor at Springfield College. From later in her life there are some newspaper articles of how she continued to swim, thank you cards from past students, and her SC Tarbell Medallion. Finally, there is an autobiographical manuscript that was finished and cleaned up by her daughter.
