Kellogg, Paul Underwood
Description
This folder contains materials created/collected by Paul Kellogg, editor of the Survey magazine, 1909-1952, and an active social reformer. Paul Kellogg conceived of the Survey as a broadly educational enterprise operating ""along the borders of research, journalism, and the general welfare."" It was to be an open forum, limited only by the facts. The emphasis of the Surveywas on first-hand inquiry and investigation, and regular procedure involved submitting controversial articles in draft form to concerned parties, considering suggested revisions, rechecking disputed sections, and offering opportunity for rebuttal. Kellogg named the factors that had characterized the Survey's working scheme since 1912: swift research, visualization, human interest, things of the spirit, public concern, and free discussion. This folder specifically includes correspondence with family, relatives, and friends, including correspondence with William M. Leiserson and William Allen White regarding his son, letters of recommendation to Antioch College, a letter regarding an alleged assault on a African American woman by a policeman, and Kellogg's family history.
