Books of the Middle Ages is a 20-leaf, typewritten manuscript. The leaves have simple borders, one set inside the other by one inch. Between the two borders are hand-drawn decorations of plant and animal life that are subtly water colored. The manuscript is bound in a heavy-weight paper and is tied along the spine with a ribbon.

Chrestomathian Society 1853-1924
The collection consists of the secretary's records of the Chrestomathian Society, one of several literary societies operating at Grinnell between 1852 and 1925. The groups were organized in order to hold debates and social events, divided into male and female groups that had a matched pair. The all-male Chrestomathians were paired with the all-female Ellis society. According to the Scarlet and Black, the societies disbanded in 1925, as the social role they once filled was no longer relevant.
