Collection Overview

Collection Description & Creator Information

Scope and Contents

Subseries 5A: Autographs, 1876-1906, consists of brief notes from political and literary notables. Most of the notes are acceptances or rejections to speak at Princeton and are addressed to Stephen Van Rennseler Throwbridge, Class of 1902, or Robert Dripps, Class of 1898. The notes appear to have been retained mostly for the value of the signatures as few have any comments of substance. Among the autographs are William Dean Howells, Woodrow Wilson, Jacob Riis, Samuel Clemens (with a brief comment on his feelings about "yatching", his way of spelling yachting), Robert Bridges (with comments about poems submitted for publication), Abbott Lawrence Lowell, Walter Page, George Cable, Grover Cleveland, Hamilton W. Mabie, Francis Cleveland (Mrs. Grover Cleveland). The Autograph grouping also includes a notebook belonging to William Van Lennep, '1876, containing salutations and autographs from many of his classmates.

Related Materials

The Pyne-Henry Collection of manuscripts relating to Princeton and its alumni was formed in 1894. While some documents focused on the history of the University, many related to the careers of significant alumni, and these remain a part of the Manuscripts Division of Firestone Library. The Library assigned PH numbers to each document, and continued to do so until 1909 (PH2082) when the Librarian changed the numbering of manuscripts to AM (for autograph manuscript). At some point other documents relating to Princeton's early history from other sources were added to what came to be known in the University Archives as the Pyne-Henry Collection.

While many of the manuscripts and small collections of University records from the original Pyne-Henry donations remain in the Pyne-Henry Collection, other series of records are now part of the following records:

Librarian Records

Inspector's Records

Treasurer's Records

Steward and Refectory Records
