Abstract

Historical Note

This collection is an assortment of writings created by various people from multiple fields, indicating the extensive academic work completed by scholars throughout NYU's history. Maintaining these writings fulfills the mission statement of the University Archives in two ways: first, by providing a final repository for NYU-related records, and second, by documenting the intellectual history of the University through the physical preservation of materials.
