Engagements, 1945-1986 (bulk 1948-1968)
|
| The engagements are filed chronologically by each separate event
and include correspondence, agendas and itineraries, invitations, programs,
press releases, speech texts, photographs, and news clippings. The bulk of this
material covers Stassen's 1948 and 1952 presidential campaigns, his presidency
of the University of Pennsylvania, and his tenure with the Eisenhower
Administration. The majority of the files represent Stassen's speaking
engagements and while duplication exists between the speech and engagements
series, researchers should check both series for complete coverage. Other files
provide documentation concerning Stassen's many travels and meetings of the
Mutual Security Agency and Foreign Operations Administration. |

original draft or reading copy with notations accompanies a final printed
public release copy. Indexes to the major speeches have been placed at the
beginning of this series. These indexes were originally filed with duplicate
sets of speeches kept by Stassen's staff. The indexes are also chronological
and give the place and occasion where each speech was delivered. |
