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.
