THE PAPERS OF HENRY C. SIMONS.

The Guide to the Collection of the University of Chicago Library provides some identifying information for every item which has been incorporated into the collection of written works by Henry C. Simons, and an attempt has been made to arrange all items in the collection in a manner so as to make them most accessible to the researcher. This article summarizes the contents of the collection. The correspondence is divided into files by name of the correspondent and numbered in alphabetical order . Because Simons' professional interests were so often pursued in the context of personal relationships and academic and social activities, no attempt was made to distinguish between personal and professional correspondence. The University Policy section includes a number of letters and memorandums surrounding a controversy over the University of Chicago faculty contracts. The Economics Department Section includes memos regarding specific faculty appointments, faculty politics and complaints as well as some comments on student work. The unpublished manuscript section contains a number of relatively short essays, memorandums and other miscellaneous writings by the economist in various stages of completion.
