Subseries 15A: Correspondence, 1896-1988 [bulk: 1933-1957], the largest of the six subseries that comprise Dodds's records, is arranged alphabetically by correspondent or topic. Correspondence that does not warrant its own folder is grouped under A, B, C and so forth in the general alphabetical sequence. This subseries illustrates the complexity of a modern university and the extent to which Princeton University had expanded, even during Dodds's own time. Correspondence concerns such subjects as academics, administrative offices and committees, associations and clubs, athletics, endowments and foundations, financial aid, the Library, the ROTC, and the Board of Trustees, as well as numerous individuals. Material relating to academics can be found under the appropriate department — from biology to philosophy — and includes discussions of budgets, grants, hiring and recruiting, office space and equipment, research, and meetings. The largest concentration of academic subject matter pertains to the School of Public and International Affairs (known as the Woodrow Wilson School of Public and International Affairs between 1948-2020), with which Dodds was closely associated. Of particular interest may be Dodds's Princeton University-related post- retirement correspondence in Box 138, Folders 10-12, which contains, among other topics, recommendations for his successor, Robert Goheen; mention of the Alger Hiss controversy and its impact on financial contributions; correspondence about the early days of the School of Public and International Affairs; bequests for fellowships; and Dodds's views on co- education.
