Series I: Program Files
Language of Materials
English.
Scope and Contents
Includes Professor O'Brien's files, 1965-1975, and material from later chair holders. This series contains a wide range of materials that pertain both to events and courses under the auspices of the Schweitzer Chair. Series I is particularly broad in scope due partly to the various functions of the Chair and partly to the depth of Professor O'Brien's interests. He shaped courses and lecture series to reflect his broad interests in politics, society, literature, and the humanities. Professor O'Brien's original organization remains with only a few alterations.
