The George A. Brakeley series contains records of George A. Brakeley '1907, who was appointed Financial Vice-President in 1939, and then became Vice-President and Treasurer in 1941. Brakeley's tenure as Treasurer, which lasted until 1953, was marked by the University's conversion to war in the early 1940s, as well as the establishment of the Princeton University Fund and Annual Giving program. The records document all of these activities as well as other ongoing financial matters, and contain large amounts of correspondence between Brakeley and other University administrators.
