Stanford departmental files pertain to the Departments of German Studies and Comparative Literature and include correspondence,
memos, articles, syllabi, minutes, questionnaires, and other items. Academic Council Committee on Libraries records reflect
his service on the committee and include agendas, minutes, reports, memoranda and correspondence. The SUNY Binghamton and
