Franklyn Bliss Snyder joined the Northwestern faculty in 1909 as an instructor in English. Snyder took a particular interest in the Scottish poet Robert Burns, publishing in 1932 The Life of Robert Burns and, later, Robert Burns: His Personality, His Reputation and His Art. In 1934, he was promoted to Dean of the Graduate School, taking over the role from James A. James. Among the more important roles Snyder played outside the University were his memberships on the Commission on School Board Nominations for the Chicago School Board in 1948 and on the advisory committee on the Administration of the Chicago Public School System, 1946-1949. The Franklyn Bliss Snyder Papers are arranged in two main categories: biographical materials and presidential papers. The presidential papers consist primarily of official correspondence, reports and budgets, and related administrative material.
