Addition

 Series
Identifier: Series 10

Scope and Contents

This addition to the Franklin D. Scott Papers fills two boxes. The addition consists of correspondence, class syllabi, a speech, publications, and material relating to organizations which Scott belonged.

The bulk of the addition is comprised of correspondence, divided into two categories: general correspondence, arranged chronologically by date, and subject correspondence, arranged alphabetically by folder title and chronologically by date within folders. The subject correspondence forms the majority of the correspondence and is mainly with Scott's colleagues.

One folder contains syllabi from classes that Scott taught at Northwestern.

Scott's speech, “Where is Sweden heading„ was delivered in 1984 at a conference sponsored by the Swedish Information Service.

Four folders contain Scott's publications concerning subjects such as Scandinavia and Scandinavian immigration to America. The Baltic Study Conference and the Advancement of Scandinavian Study were organizations for which Scott chaired panels at and gave keynote addresses at their meeting.
