Immediate Source of Acquisition

The manuscript was given as a gift to the Library in 1963 by the Department of Orthodontics, College of Dentistry, University of Illinois. Frederick B. Noyes probably retained possession of his notebooks while he was part of the faculty of the College of Dentistry. Apparently the manuscript remained in the possession of the University of Illinois after Noyes' death in 1961 and was later donated to the Library.
