Title: Typed Letter to the Education Pioneer Harold Rugg Signed by the Historian and Political Scientist Saul K. Padover As Dean for the New School for Social Research.
Description: New York: March 19, 1951. 1951. - Over 55 words typed on 8-1/2 inches high by 5-1/2 inches wide "The New School" stationery. Padover briefly replies to a letter by his colleague Harold Rugg of Columbia University's Teacher's College. As Rugg mentioned he'd be interested in doing some work with him at The New School upon his return from Egypt, Padover replies: "Some time early next year, then, we ought to get together on come courses", he then concludes with his "warmest best wishes for a stimulating and successful stay in Cairo". Signed in green ink "Saul K. Padover". His title "Dean" is typed below the signature. Folded for mailing, there are staple holes with light creasing to the top left of the page. Together with a carbon copy of Rugg's letter. Very good. Saul K. Padover [1905-1981] was a historian and political scientist at the New School of Social Research in New York City. He wrote or edited definitive studies of Karl Marx, Joseph II of Austria, Louis XVI of France and three American founding fathers--Alexander Hamilton, James Madison and Thomas Jefferson. He joined the graduate faculty of the New School in 1949 and remained there until his death in 1981.
