Two sketchbook volumes, 1931-1933, created by Round Table members and kept by Renier Otto Wyers. Both sketchbooks contain cartoons, clippings, collages, poems, puns, and other material relating to local and national affairs during the early 1930's. Many of the entries are comic drawings of the club's individual members. There is also a great deal of anti-Hoover material, particularly relating to the 1932 Presidential campaign, several sketches regarding the Chicago World's Fair controversy in 1932, Samuel Insull, and the negative treatment of Native Americans.
