WRITINGS,, 1908-1919

Summary: Organized by form and content into four subseries.

Documentation of Weyl's writing career from the early 1900s until his death. Included in this series are note cards, looseleaf notebook sheets (some with diary text), typescripts and clippings of printed articles.

Drafts of Articles (alphabetical by title, where given): typewritten copies, both original and carbon, of articles written throughout Weyl's career. Subjects include Japanese diplomacy, Switzerland, East Prussia, immigration and the theory of the state.

Extensive notes are included on the philosophical underpinnings of the author's proposed novel about the life of Christ, "The Visionary."

Printed Articles (chronological): pages cut from Outlook, Saturday Evening Post, Success, La Follette's, North American Review, New Republic and Harpers, together with a pamphlet written for the Committee on Industrial Relations.

Subjects include profiles of urban immigrants, railroad administration, a Lawrence, Massachusetts, textile strike and the depopulation of France.

Notebooks (alphabetical by creator's assigned letter or keyword): notebook pages containing subject indexes to looseleaf entries, clippings, outlines and notes for books on manifest destiny, Japan, feminism, the Soviet government and miscellaneous topics, together with diary entries.

Diary entries from 1918 and 1919 are found in folders marked "R" and "R-2" and record, for example, Weyl's investments and his visits to physicians in Woodstock and New York City. The folders marked "X" (but with pages sometimes headed "R") contain diary entries describing a European trip from February through April of 1919 with an itinerary emphasizing France (especially Paris) and Italy (including Venice). Weyl's impressions of the Paris Peace Conference are among the observations recorded.

Note Cards (in original order): notes, primarily for The End of the War. Includes clippings, copied quotations, indexes and jottings.
