This influential educator is best known for a controversial tenure as president of the University of Illinois (1946-53), but prior to that he was president of the University of the State of New York and later in life served as chancellor of New York University (1960-64) and Long Island University (1966-70). TNS, 1p, 7¼" X 10", Urbana, IL, 7 October 1950. Addressed to Ralph G. Newman (1912-98, founder of Chicago's noted Abraham Lincoln Book Shop). Very good. Declines invitation to attend "the dinner party honoring Allan Nevins on Friday evening, October 13th. I wish I could accept, for I am sure it will be a delightful occasion. Unhappily, my schedule is such that I am not free to go to Chicago that evening." Boldly signed in full in black ink. The occasion for this party was likely the publication of Nevins' 2-volume "The Emergence of Lincoln," part of his larger 8-volume "Ordeal of the Union" series.
