Lew Sarett Papers, 1902-1978.

http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/77140776

The Lew Sarett Papers illuminate Sarett's personality and methods as a successful and popular teacher and poet. The Papers also shed light on a time in American history when themes of respect for nature and for American Indians found a receptive audience among poetry lovers and lecture audiences. The Papers are arranged in six general categories: Biographical Materials (including Clippings); Correspondence, Teaching Files (including Lecture Notes), Speeches, Publications (including Manuscript Drafts and Notes), and Photograph Albums and Scrapbooks. Biographical materials include many clippings, biographical sketches, materials relating to his speaking engagements on the Lyceum circuit, a bound volume of letters of appreciation in honor of his retirement from Northwestern University in 1953. Correspondence with well-known figures from Jane Addams to Morton Zabel includes many poets, such as Harriet Monroe and Robert Frost (the finding aid includes an index to these prominent correpsondents). Lecture notes from Sarett's popular courses in oratory and rhetoric fill five boxes. Photograph albums and scrapbooks document his early life, Lyceum lectures, and publications. The albums include photographs of Sarett's wilderness experiences.
