The E. G. Peterson Papers collection contains a group of letters documenting the correspondence between representatives of the Agricultural College of Utah (UAC) and the O.L.I. and U.I.C. E. G. Peterson was the president of the UAC from 1916 to 1944. This sample of correspondence from his collection demonstrates the close relationship that the school had with the railroad in providing students with additional transportation services and other opportunities utilizing the train’s operations.
