Jewish Theological Seminary of America. Faculty. Faculty Files, 1903-1949.

Title: Faculty Files, 1903-1949.

The faculty files, 1903-1949 (the bulk dates from the 1930s-1940s) are a small group of files which mainly contain correspondence by or about members of the faculty of the Jewish Theological Seminary. Faculty members represented include: Max Arzt, Boaz Cohen, H.L. Ginsberg, Robert Gordis, Simon Greenberg, Abraham S. Halkin, Moses Hyamson, Mordecai Kaplan, Saul Lieberman, Alexander Marx, Alexander Sperber, Shalom Spiegel, speech teacher Arleigh Williamson, and others. Some correspondence is between faculty members and Seminary presidents Solomon Schechter, Cyrus Adler, and Louis Finkelstein. Files consist mainly of correspondence, but class attendance records, lists of grades, student recommendations, entrance examinations, schedules, press releases announcing the arrival of new faculty members, lecture notes, course outlines, typescripts of papers, and other materials documenting classroom, academic, and administrative activities are also included. Of note are application forms for some faculty members who had been students at the Seminary. Also of note is material documenting immigration work done for foreign born faculty. Of particular interest are the files of Arleigh Williamson, a speech teacher from New York University, who kept notes on the speech habits, social presentation, and "cultural level" of his mainly European born students.
