Series IV. Clippings, 1892-1942

A comprehensive project involved members of the staff of the President's Office and others in chronicling Schurman's career. In some cases, a newspaper printing of a speech delivered by Schurman is the only copy of the speech to be found in the collection. Caricatures of Schurman as printed in newspaper stories are in the clippings, as well as an account of his touting of Charles Evans Hughes for the Presidency of the United States, and his vigorous promotion of Philippine independence. Similarly, affairs in other parts of the world, and Schurman's interest in or involvement with these, can be traced in the clippings.
