Bibliography: A Bibliography of Charles Christopher Mierow, 1908-1955 (Lynchburg, VA; 1955?).

Mierow won prizes in English and German as an undergraduate at Princeton. As president at Colorado College he built the first building on campus since 1914, but the Great Depression brought an end to his plans for the campus. In 1933 he took a leave of absence from the presidency and did not return to administration. He moved to Carleton where he taught popular courses including "Representative Americans," "Representative Men of Antiquity," and "Representative Personalities of the Middle Ages." He also served as president of CAMWS in 1936. Dr. Mierow was a popular teacher at Carleton, and in 1951 was given the unprecedented honor of a plaque presented by the student body, engraved "with deepest affection for your friendship and inspirational leadership."
