Typed Letter to Harold Rugg of Columbia University's Teachers College Signed by Harry A. Brown, Superintendent of Schools, Needham, Mass.
Needham, MA: September 7, 1946. 1946. - Lengthy 3-page letter typed on an 11 inch high by 8-1/2 inch wide sheet of his personalized letterhead with his name & address printed in raised lettering in blind at top left and on 2 follow-up sheets. Signed "Harry A. Brown". There is a rusty paper-clip mark on each sheet at top left. On the first sheet this mark affects the printed address & is surrounded by some additional staining. There are a few tiny chips to the letter & the upper right edge of each sheet is creased. Folded twice for mailing. Good. A friendly letter with excellent content to Harold Rugg, professor at Teachers College of Columbia University. Brown congratulates Rugg on the addition of Miss B. Marian Brooks to the faculty of Teachers College. He expresses his fears that able young people are not being appointed to the faculty and that "the few great minds" will all be retired in another ten years. "Miss Brooks represents to me just the kind of person who ought to be growing up with Teachers College to be a source of power for the Institution in another five or ten years. If I may speak in terms of Expressionism, I look upon people like Miss Brooks as an objectification of yourself, not in sound or in a painting or in a skyscraper; but in personality. Great teachers like yourself are great creative artist just as much as Sullivan, Whitman, and all the others that one could name. You create in just as real a sense as they have..When you produce, after three years of study, a person like Miss Brooks, it is self-portraiture of the most valuable kind.." Harold Rugg [1886-1960] was an educational reformer associated with the Progressive education movement. Originally trained in civil engineering, he went on to study psychology, sociology and education at the University of Illinois. After teaching at the University of Chicago from 1915 to 1920, he took a job at the Teachers College where he stayed until he retired in 1951. He became a spokesman for the reconstructionist perspective which viewed formal education as an agent of social change. Dr. Marian Brooks taught in a one-room schoolhouse in Milan, NH in the 1920s. She applied the lessons she learned there when she served as Chairwoman of the City College of New York Education Department. She was one of the founders of the "Open Corridors" program. She co-authored with Rugg "The Teacher in School and Society" [1950]. Good .

Dr. Harold Taylor [1914-1993] became the president of Sarah Lawrence College in 1945.

An early Harvard student residing in Holworthy Hall has penned his name on the front cover. Holworthy Hall is the historic dormitory for first year student's at Harvard.
It is interesting to note that, in this edition, under "high offences and misdemeanors", the University's board listed "Refusing to give testimony in any case when required by the Faculty, or a Committee thereof; or falsifying therein. In all cases of an attempt to screen individuals, who have committed acts of disorder or violence, by withholding evidence, the Faculty may select for punishment any who, by withholding evidence and screening the guilty, shall thus appear, to the satisfaction of the Faculty, to be actors in or abettors of the crime." Other such offences and misdemeanors included: "Keeping any gun, pistol, or gunpowder, or firing or using the same, in the town of Cambridge. -- Being concerned in any bonfire, fireworks, or unauthorized illuminations. -- Being an actor or spectator at any theatrical entertainment in term time.."
Prior revisions to the University's laws had been published in 1826 and 1828. In 1832, Harvard's president Quincy deemed that a revision of the laws were called for. Newly revised laws and statutes relating to undergraduates were adopted by Harvard's corporation and presented to the university's overseers. Though the overseers approved these laws, they added and published with them the Orders and Regulations relating to the faculty. The pamphlet was distributed to new students admitted to Harvard.

Typed Letter Signed by Columbia University's Secretary Frank D. Fackenthal, the de Facto Administrator of the Pulitzer Prize, Replying on Behalf of University President Butler to James B. Pond's Invitation to Join His Reception Committee for Maeterlinck's First American Lecture.
New York: December 12, 1919. 1919. - Over 50 words typed on his 9-3/8 inch high by 8 inch wide "Columbia University / in the City of New York / Secretary of the University" stationery. Frank D. Fackenthal convey's Columbia University President Butler's reply to American impresario and lecture agent James B. Pond's invitation to serve on the committee welcoming Maurice Maeterlinck to America. Fackenthal writes "President Butler asks me to say in reply to your letter of December 10 that he will be very glad to serve on the honorary reception committee for Maurice Maeterlinck". Signed "Frank D. Fackenthal". The letter is folded for mailing and there is a small piece out from the top left corner. Very good. The American academic administrator Frank Diehl Fackenthal (1883-1968) had a long association with Columbia University. Starting as the University's chief clerk in 1906, he was elevated to the position of secretary in 1910 and subsequently served as the institution's provost from 1937 through 1948. In both of these latter capacities, he was the de facto administrator of the Pulitzer Prize from its inception. Despite Butler's opposition, he served as the University's acting president following Nicholas Murray Butler's retirement in 1945 until Dwight D. Eisenhower took over in 1948. He developed far ranging plans for the University that might have addressed the problems which led to the 1968 Columbia University Protests but were eschewed by his successors. He was successful in establishing the School of General Studies and the graduate level School of International Affairs and the Harriman Institute. After retiring from the University, he served as educational consultant to the Carnegie Corporation and president of Columbia University Press and remained a trustee of numerous institutions. James B. Pond, the American impresario and lecture agent who headed the J.B. Pond Lyceum Bureau, brought the great Belgian poet Maurice Maeterlinck to America for a series of lectures. The first lecture took place at Carnegie hall on January 2nd, 1920. Unfortunately Maeterlinck failed to carry out his intention to lecture in English because of his labored "phonetic" English. He declared his intention to continue his lectures in French and have the translation read by another person. As a result, the lecture tour was a failure and lawsuits ensued on both sides. Very good .
