American Defense Society. Records, 1915-1942.

Title: Records, 1915-1942.

Records, 1915-1942, consisting of the correspondence of the Society and internal records of their activities, as well as printed material and newspaper clippings. Correspondence discusses World War I; the Society's wartime campaign to boycott German goods and stop the teaching of German in schools; the Russian Revolution and Bolshevism; sedition and disloyalty; the I.W.W.; the disloyalty of William Randolph Hearst; the case of Thomas Mooney, the labor activist who was accused of bombing a patriotic march; immigration control; general discussion of U.S. and world politics, including their support for the 1920 presidential candidacy of Warren G. Harding; and antisemitic ideas. The Society's publications included a pamphlet entitled "Protocols and World Revolution," explaining Communism by reference to the Protocols of the Elders of Zion. Major figures within the Society include Madison Grant, a trustee, and Charles Stewart Davison, appointed chairman in 1918 and succeeded in 1920 by Elon Huntington Hooker, after which he remained as honorary chairman. Much of the correspondence from ca. 1935-1942 is correspondence of Davison's own, not directly related to the Society. Theodore Roosevelt was the Society's honorary president, and they distributed portraits of him after his death. Their internal organizational material includes minutes, schedules, resolutions, press releases, reports from their "operators" on subversive activities, and a few photographs. Printed material includes their own publications and ephemera, as well as publications, posters and ephemera from other organizations. Most of the material comes from like-minded groups, but there are a few communist and anarchist publications. Clippings deal with American Defense Society activities and other topics of interest to the Society.

William Jacob Robbins papers, 1896-1974, 1896-1974

Title: William Jacob Robbins papers, 1896-1974 1896-1974

William Jacob Robbins (1890-1978, APS 1941) was a botanist and physiologist. From 1937 to 1957 he was director of the New York Botanical Garden. His research focused on culture methods of plants in relation to biochemistry and nutrition, especially on the synthetic abilities of fungi. His studies paralleled the scientific agenda of the Rockefeller Foundation, an agency with which he was closely associated for years as adviser and trustee. He was perhaps the most influential botanist in the National Academy of Sciences (NAS) during the early postwar era, and a principal participant in the plans for the global reconstruction of science. Robbins served as president of the American Philosophical Society from 1956 to 1959.
