Life

Frank Hughes, as centennial editor, supervised the assembling of material for the centennial issue of the Chicago Tribune, and wrote much of it himself. He wrote in a letter of September 14, 1947 that he intended to prepare a newspaper-size scrapbook containing every memorandum, order, assignment, progress report, notation, and instruction relating to the preparation of the issue, along with galley proofs, first page proofs, revised page proofs, etc., right up to the final product. Evidently he never prepared the scrapbook, but kept the material now in boxes 3 to 7 for that purpose; therefore, though a few of the folders were empty, this record of his editorship is relatively complete.

This series contains Stories planned for the issue, filed by "slug" (identifying heading).
