&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;Biography/History: &lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight:400;"&gt;Agnes Kittelsby (1880-1925) graduated from St. Olaf in 1900, and served the college as a professor and preceptress for nine years. She also had stints at St. Ansgar Seminary, Waldorf College, and Augustana College. In 1914 she departed for China alongside her husband, who was St. Olaf’s first Rhodes scholar. There she taught the children of missionaries at the American School Kikungshan in Hunan. Her devotion to both schools lasted until she died in 1925. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;Scope and Content: &lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight:400;"&gt;Correspondence, a scrapbook, a biography, biographical notes and a diary of an Iowa-born teacher. Much of the material deals with life at the schools she served. She also spelled her surname Kittelsby.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
