Use Emerald Classified Ads— Sawyer's files said to be valuable The correspondence files of the late Robert W. Sawyer represent one of the most valuable sources of recent regional and national history in the University library. Given to the library over a period of 15 years, the files extend from 1915 to 1959 and Include infor mation on most important po litical and economic affairs in the United States for 45 years. Born In Maine Sawyer was born in. Bangor, Maine on May 12, 1880, and in 1914 became associated with the Bend (Ore.) Bulletin. Since that time he was prominent in the politics of Deschutes county and the state of Oregorf. The roster of Robert Sawyer's correspondents reads like a Who’s Who in America, with special em phasis on the Pacific Northwest. Sherman Adams, Eric Allen, R. H. Baldock, Sam Boardman, Isaiah Bowman, Marshall Dana. Bernard DeVoto, Walter Pierce, Robert Ruhl, Ray Lyman Wilbur —these are a random selection from the files. Most important, the letters to and from these per sons contain the ideas and delib erations of a man who exercised his educated intelligence. As one of his fellow-editors has said, "He knew more about the things that count than did most men." Files sought Unlike many public figures who accumulate historically signifi cant files. Robert Sawyer realized their potential and helped make the information in his files avail able to researchers. His gifts to the library were accompanied by grants-in-aid to pay for their ar rangement and cataloging. As a result, the files have already been used to good purpose by the pres ent generation of historians. Conservation of natural re sources, highways, billboard legis lation, reclamation, public power, state and national politics—these were a few of his major interests. The history of Oregon, especially the Deschutes country, Is a sub ject that occurs throughout his correspondence, particularly with men like Lewis McArthur and professional historians. Errors noted Robert Sawyer was one of the few modern editors who could be counted on to read a book and write or talk about it intelli gently. He carried on long gnd useful exchanges with many writers, firmly and gently point ing out errors of fact and differ ence* of opinion. The same at tention was paid to the editorials of Oregon newspapermen. Revolving file For the past ten years Robert Sawyer kept a wastebasket for Items he did not wish to place In his permanent file. From this collection of miscellany the Uni versity Hbrary obtained many useful, Important, and a few al most unique publications. , SALE SLACKS The Savings Are Terriffic Here's your opportunity to get the latest STYLES at a fraction of the regular price.
