Scope and Content: This series contains mostly articles relating to, or written by, W.C. Keirstead, 1900 to1980, on topics of personal rather than professional interest; and course notes taken by Keirstead as a student at the University of Chicago between 1900 to 1910. The personal documents relating to Keirstead include his obituary and eulogy; information relating to his son, Burton Seely Keirstead; and articles on W.C. Keirstead's involvement with the Y.M.C.A. and the United Baptist Church in Woodstock, N.B. There are also articles by Keirstead on C.C. Jones and the University of New Brunswick. As a doctoral student, Keirstead fell under the influence of John Dewey, then Professor of Philosophy at the University of Chicago. The course notes in this series are those from courses which Dewey taught, namely Philosophy of Education, Evolution of Morality, and the Logic of Ethics.

This series is divided into two sub-series: Sub-series 1. Personal Interest Documents and Sub-series 2. Student Course Notes. Arrangement within the sub-series is chronological.
