Professor Allen Deeter taught Religion and Philosphy at Manchester College beginning in 1959.  He also served as Director of Brethren Colleges Abroad and of the Peace Studies Program, following Robert Schuhle.  During his international travels Allen collected cultural and religious art.  More research is needed to identify these pieces of the collection that were donated to the archives by his wife, Joan Deeter.
