CARL R. WOODWARD PAPERS
1928-1974

 MSG# 1

 

SERIES I	CORRESPONDENCE	DATES
4' ( 8 Boxes)		1912-1974

This series consists of letters to and from relatives, friends and acquaintances; clubs and organizations; various political and educational leaders, as well as business letters.

Little correspondence with immediate family members exists in this collection, however, there is considerable correspondence with the Rue cousins, Margarite, Mary Lou, and Myra.  

Correspondence with significant people include letters to and from Milton Eisenhower, as well as a typed copy of a letter from President Eisenhower.  There is a letter from Eleanor Roosevelt concerning her arrival for the Convocation in observance of Brotherhood Week, an autographed program, and a photograph with President Woodward.  There is correspondence with Francis Horn, Woodward's successor as University President, and Werner Baum, successor to Horn.

Of interest is correspondence with Brigadier General Elliot Thorpe.  General Thorpe donated to the University the sword of Major General Yamato, Commander Imperial Kepi Tai, surrendered to him in Yokohama, Japan on September 2, 1945.  With this correspondence are photographs.  Most of the correspondence is mundane in nature.  Correspondence of special import may be located in other series.  Correspondence with historical or agricultural organizations can be found within the Historical series; URI correspondence with the URI series; correspondence concerning his writings with those writings.  

Correspondence is arranged alphabetically by name or subject.  Within the folders, material is in chronological order.  Letters to Mrs. Woodward are filed under her name.  Unidentified correspondence is at the end of the series.
