Frederick Klaeber papers, 1917, 1928-1956.

http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/63301044

This small collection deals primarily with the period of time following Klaeber's retirement from the University in 1931. The bulk of the collection consists of correspondence from 1945 until Klaeber's death in 1954. Many of the letters Klaeber wrote to friends and colleagues describing his difficult circumstances in Bad Koesen are contained in the collection. Correspondence from 1947 to 1954 deals primarily with attempts made by University administrators and others to press the United States government to release Klaeber's funds. In 1953, Senator Hubert Humphrey introduced a bill providing that the funds be transferred to the University as per Klaeber's wishes. The funds were finally released in March 1954 and the Frederick Klaeber Scholarship Fund was established.
