Dear Mr. Dole, I am one of many who is (or will be) very grateful to you for these beautiful notes. I have never seen them before. Do you know how accurate they are? Had Mac Lane seen them? While making a copy of them I read on your webpage: "...Below are the lecture notes dating back to 1968. Interestingly, there’s no space in “MacLane”... As a comment to that here is what Mac Lane says in his book "A Mathematical Autobiography" (Page 6): "...The space in Mac Lane was added years later by me, when my first wife, Dorothy, found it difficult to type our name without a space".

Greetings,
As a student of Saunders Mac Lane, I took a course from him on Geometrical Mechanics. The subject line is from the introduction. I saved the course notes here:

While not necessarily categorical, it might have some interest to the general community.
cheers,
