Elbert Russell, Quaker: An autobiography by Elbert Russell

Elbert Russell, first dean of the Divinity School at Duke University, started, oddly enough, the Quaker Meeting in Durham, comprised mostly of Duke personnel. Oddly enough, I have just learned that Russell was my next door neighbor when I was a child.
