Walter Wheeler Cook (1873-1943) Papers 1898-1944

http://findingaids.library.northwestern.edu/catalog/inu-ead-nua-archon-1062

The Walter Wheeler Cook Papers consist of 1.5 archival boxes, spanning the years 1898 to 1944. Materials include: biographical items; correspondence; items relating to the Institute for the Study of Law at Johns Hopkins University; papers and addresses; journal articles; and class notes. Relatively little of the collection covers his years as professor of law at Northwestern from 1935 to 1944. The core of this collection relates to Cook's role as one of the “originating four" professors at the Institute for the Study of Law at Johns Hopkins University from 1928 to 1933. Included in the collection are extensive typed manuscripts relating to his plans for the creation of the Institute, and his correspondence and typed manuscripts exchanged with his colleagues relating to the formation and closing of the Institute. Also of particular interest is Cook's general correspondence, which includes letters he received from noted jurists and others.
