Photograph of an English class facilitated by Philip Tripp at Shimer College in 1951-1952, from the 1952 Shimer yearbook. Now a liberal arts college in Chicago, Shimer was then located in Mount Carroll, Illinois. Shimer had switched from a girl's junior college to a liberal arts college with a discussion-based Great Books curriculum less than two years before, in 1950. Published in the school's 1952 yearbook, which does not contain a copyright notice. Additionally in the public domain due to the terms of dedication of the Shimer College Collection (which includes a copy of this yearbook) to Northern Illinois University in 1979, which vested literary rights in the collection in the public.
