Ernest Clark Steele begins his diaries as a student at Daybrook High School in Monogalia County, West Virginia. The entries from 1915 through 1918 are primarily short remarks about his location (whether he's at home or school) and the weather. His entries become lengthier with a bit more details about his daily activities after he enters West Virginia University. In addition to entries about his early years as a principal at Oceana and teacher at Pineville, he writes about his summertime gig in the Equipment Department of the Swarthmore Chautauqua Association from 1921 through 1927. In August 1927, he enters the University of California, Berkeley. During this period, he writes about his studies, extracurricular activities, and going to church.
