It includes images of a bust of the abolitionist, donated by Professor Emeritus Geoffrey Blodgett, a daguerreotype of three Oberlin students who helped Brown in Kansas, a letter from Oberlin student John A. Copeland, who assisted Brown in his raid on Harper's Ferry, and other items of interest. |

King served as Oberlin's president from 1902 to 1927. |
