This series documents Morrison's life-long involvement with Oxford and the Rhodes Scholarship program. It includes his student essays in English language and literature and political theory (many with remarks by his tutors, including the poet Edmund Blunden); material relating to his play with the celebrated Oxford hockey and baseball teams of the early 1930s; personal correspondence with Lady Gillian and Sir Edgar Williams, Warden of the Rhodes Trust and Rhodes House; newsletters of the Canadian Association of Rhodes Scholars which he edited or contributed to; and memorabilia of Merton College and Oxford. The Oxford hockey files, for example, hold clippings, reminiscences and letters from fellow Rhodes Scholars Clarence S. Campbell, C. Herbert Little, Ronald Martland, and James A. Gibson about the teams of 1929-1932, and show the continuing interest today in the sports heritage of Oxford.

The photographs document his life at Oxford as a student and his continuing involvement with the university as a Rhodes Scholar and alumnus.
