Scope and Contents

From the Collection:

The Steuart Henderson Britt Papers comprise ten boxes and consist of: biographical material, correspondence, teaching material, research material, speeches, and writings.

The biographical material includes curricula vitae and reports of teaching, speaking, and writing activities; certificates and citations from various organization, and twelve folders of clippings relating to Britt's speeches, writings, and interviews.

The correspondence deals mainly with Britt's speaking and seminar engagements, his publications, and various meetings he attended.

The teaching material includes a small amount of class material from his work at Northwestern but most pertains to his off campus arena, especially the first thirteen years (1958-1970) of Advertising Age's Summer Workshop.

The speeches consist primarily of mimeographed texts of speeches Britt gave before business organizations.

The research materials include a small number of paper tapes showing the tonal sensitivity of white rats.

The writings consist almost entirely of reprints of articles by Britt and reviews of his books. Included are drafts of a few articles.
