Fourteen letters, some of them drafts, between Paul Shorey, Professor of Greek at the University of Chicago, and several German academics, including eminent historian Dietrich Schafer. Written in 1914 and 1915, the letters are concerned with the outbreak of World War I, and several have attached explanatory notes by one-time Newberry staff member Fritz Caspari. Also in the collection is a printed poem in German entitled “An England”.
