Nathan W. MacChesney Papers, 1915-1952.

http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/122275674

A few personal letters between MacChesney and other university officials are included. Most of the material in the collection is concerned with University business, and consequently sheds little light on MacChesney's private life or his military and civic activities. The collection's value lies primarily in its reflection of many of the varied activities undertaken by Northwestern's central administration during the University's emergence as a major American educational institution. The last eight folders in the collection contain personal correspondence, arranged alphabetically. The most important correspondence is between MacChesney and University Presidents Walter Dill Scott and Franklyn Bliss Snyder.
