Rutgers File, 1928–1941

A rich folder of documentation on the huge volume of material that Netter sold to Rutgers during these years. It included printed items and books of every description, plus manuscript material. Principal correspondents are George A. Osborn and Carl R. Woodward, plus their respective secretaries. But there are also letters to and from the Ceramics Department, the Agriculture Experiment Station, and the Department of Agriculture. Check stubs for payments do not indicate what items were being purchased by Rutgers, but the purchase orders do. At times, the correspondence sheds light on what items the check stubs represented. Of note are discussions of the Freneau collection, and the Croes collection, both acquired by Rutgers through Netter.
