Manasseh Cutler’s legacy at Ohio University was again honored with the restoration and rededication of Cutler Hall in October of 1947. This collection details the planning of the rededication ceremony headed by Ohio University Alumni and Professor Vincent Jukes. This planning includes correspondence with broadcasting companies and newspapers, museums, companies for souvenirs, and many more, primarily from Assistant Professor of Drama and Speech Vincent Jukes. Information such as committee minutes and expense reports detail the planning side of the event. Furthermore, documents such as newspaper clippings, ceremony programs, pictures, and papers after the rededication help this collection show a well-rounded view of the rededication planning and execution. Also included in this collection is correspondence with Cutler descendant Charles Dawes and information regarding Ohio University's obtaining of items that purportedly belonged to Manasseh Cutler including a deer skin traveling trunk.
