James Washington Bell Papers, 1922-1961.

http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/122585276

The Papers include general correspondence, subject files and course files. The general correspondence (3 folders) is arranged chronologically. The correspondence is mainly incoming and spans the years from 1939 to 1946; it largely concerns the activities of the Committee to Defend America by Aiding the Allies and especially the Chicago and Evanston chapters of the Committee. Included are one letter to Bell from Adlai E. Stevenson (August 29, 1940), one from U.S. Representative Ralph E. Church of Illinois (September 16, 1940), and one from Paul H. Douglas (September 30, 1941). The subject files (2 folders) concern the American Economic Association and Northwestern University. The course files, spanning the dates from 1922 to 1947, by far comprise the bulk of Bell's papers. These files generally contain syllabi, examination questions, grades and often seating charts for courses taught by Bell. There are also some materials for courses he did not teach. Some of the course folders also include correspondence; and the folders for Bell's course on Money, Credit and Prices, conducted as a seminar, include minutes of course meetings and student papers. The course files are arranged alphabetically according to course title: Bank Practice and Policy; Banking Systens and Money Markets; Corporation Finance; Money and Banking; and Money, Credit and Prices. Folders are arranged within these catagories by year and sometimes within years by academic semester.
