The Cornell University Presidential Papers Project has been made possible by the gifts of the late Robert W. Purcell and L. William Kay II. Dale R. Corson provided the initial impetus and support while President of Cornell University (1969-1977), and has continued to actively promote the project. Through their interest and generosity, the preservation of these papers has been ensured, and their access and use have been enhanced.
The preservation microfilming and the production of this guide to the papers of Jacob Gould Schurman has particularly benefited from a grant from National Endowment for the Humanities, administered by the Research Libraries Group. This grant was part of a multi-institutional archival preservation project.
The conservation, arrangement, reformatting, and description of the Jacob Gould Schurman papers has been a project involving several persons working on different aspects of the collection: particular mention should be made of Anne Kenney and Barbara Berger and additional staff of the Preservation and Microfilm Unit of the Department of Preservation and Conservation. In the Division of Rare and Manuscript Collections, this work has been conducted under the general direction of Curator of Manuscripts Elaine D. Engst, with the assistance of C. Herbert Finch, Gould P. Colman, Margaret M. John, and Cheryl Rowland, and student assistants Lauren Brown, Catherine Tingey, Gina Haas, and Maura Jane Flood. However, primary credit for the production of this guide and for the continued success of the Presidential Papers Project should be given to Phil McCray, the Division's Technical Services Archivist.

BIOGRAPHICAL NOTE

The Schurman family was of Dutch descent, and after flourishing in America, was forced to leave New York for Canada during the American Revolution due to its Loyalist sympathies. Born on May 22, 1854 in Freetown, Prince Edward Island, Canada, Jacob Gould Schurman early in his life demonstrated himself as a talented student, and he earned a series of scholarships. After attending the Prince of Wales College and Acadia College in Nova Scotia, he graduated in 1877 from the University of London with first class honors in mental and moral science, attending other lectures at Manchester New College on mental and moral philosophy and religion. He then studied philosophy for a year at Edinburgh while simultaneously studying in London, earning there an M.A. and D.Sc. with distinction, in 1878. Schurman then studied philosophy in Berlin, at Göttingen, and at the University of Heidelberg. While in Berlin he made the acquaintance of Andrew Dickson White, ambassador to Germany and president of Cornell University
In 1880, Schurman returned to North America to become a professor of English literature at Acadia College. From 1882 to 1886 he was professor of English literature, rhetoric, and metaphysics at Dalhousie University.
From Dalhousie, Schurman moved to Cornell University, where he served as a professor of Christian ethics and moral philosophy. His work at Cornell came under the close sponsorship of University Trustee and benefactor Henry W. Sage. When in 1890 Sage endowed the School of Philosophy, Schurman was appointed dean. Two years later, in 1892, as Charles Kendall Adams ended his troubled presidency of Cornell, Schurman became the third president of the university, serving until 1920.
Schurman's stewardship of Cornell was characterized by the extensive growth of the University's facilities, and its shift from a privately endowed institution to its current coalition of state and private funding. Throughout the twenty eight years of his presidency, Schurman was a proponent of academic freedom and an advocate of a generally liberal intellectual atmosphere on campus. During his presidency of Cornell, Schurman's scholastic pursuits and writings gradually moved away from philosophy and toward public and philanthropic endeavors. He became a presence in the national and New York State Republican Parties, identifying himself with Charles Evans Hughes, and it was thought that only his Canadian birth prevented him from seriously pursuing the presidency of the United States. While still president of Cornell, Schurman served as chairman of a commission examining social and political life in the Philippines in 1899. In 1912 and 1913, he was minister to Greece and Montegnegro during the Balkan Wars. In America, he served as vice president of the New York State Constitutional Convention in 1915, and was a member of the New York State Food Commission in 1917-1918
Upon leaving Cornell, Schurman went to Japan and the Far East, and then served as minister to China from 1921 to 1925, a time of war and great political upheaval. His pattern of finding himself in tumultuous times continued when he served as the American ambassador to Germany from 1925 to 1930. The honor that was due him for his efforts to rebuild the University of Heidelberg translated into popularity with the centrist forces in the Weimar Republic.
After a lectureship in California and additional travels and writing on international subjects, Schurman died in New York in 1942.
BIOGRAPHICAL APPRECIATION

Schurman and Heidelberg
February 8, 1986 was celebrated as Schurman Day at the University of Heidelberg. More than forty years after his death, Jacob Gould Schurman's influence was still strong at the university he had cherished as no other. Schurman arrived in Heidelberg 1878, and it was there that his intellectual foundations found their bearings. Philosophy in Germany in the late eighteenth century was a cultural passion. Innovation and intense activity in philosophical dialogue combined with the spectral setting at Heidelberg influenced Schurman forever. At the age of seventy three, in 1928, Schurman undertook to acknowledge his appreciation to the university by leading an effort to raise funds for its growth. In many of his speeches concerning the campaign, he acknowledged that he had gone to Heidelberg, in part, because there was no American university that could provide the kind of passionate liberal learning and moral philosophy for which he yearned. Schurman first obtained from John D. Rockefeller $200,000, and eventually raised almost $600,000. The monies were used to erect a new lecture hall, called the "New University." Schurman's passionate crusade of vigorous fundraising was a fervid moment in a otherwise decorous and sober public life. By an abiding association of Heidelberg and his own intellectual flourishing, sentiment combined with his usual practical skill to result in the marshalling of forces and finances to noble effect

PROVENANCE

The letterbooks and correspondence of the Jacob Gould Schurman papers derive from the Office of the President of Cornell University, and for many years were in the care of Cornell University Library. Other correspondence, photographs, testimonials and social correspondence, and personal and family letters were transferred to the Department of Manuscripts and University Archives at various times from Schurman family members, notably including Judge Jacob G. Schurman, Lydia Schurman Godfrey, and G. Michael McHugh. Some Schurman letters have on several occasions over the years been transferred from the Department of Rare Books of Cornell University Library. Other contributors have included John R. Silber, and the Dewitt Historical Society of Ithaca, New York.

CONSERVATION AND PRESERVATION
A grant from the National Endowment for the Humanities made possible the microfilming of a large measure of the collection, excluding only some of the testimonials and ephemera. The letterpress copybooks (commonly referred to as letterbooks) were highly acidic and were in an advanced state of deterioration prior to the microfilming. Some pages were already illegible, or had faded altogether; in some cases the ink of Schurman's signature had caused perforation of the paper. For the letterbooks and clippings, the microfilm is the only extant form. Conventional preservation has included acid-free foldering and boxing, encapsulation, and the enveloping of photographs. The microfilm project was carried out by the Micrographic Preservation Service of Bethlehem, Pennsylvania
RELATED MATERIAL

The National Archives holds microfilm of Schurman's diplomatic and ministerial correspondence from his ambassadorships and activities as minister and commissioner.
In addition to the following list of collections in the main or in large part concerned with Schurman, reference to and discussion about him can be found in numerous papers of Cornell University faculty members, administrators, trustees, students, and Ithaca residents. Morris Bishop's A History of Cornell is perhaps the most extensive account of Schurman's presidency and influence.

Letterbooks (Outgoing Correspondence), 1889-1921
An extensive index to the letterbooks is available here. 9 MB PDF file.
The letterbook copy impressions of letters written by Schurman as President of Cornell University profile both his personal character and formal manner in the execution of his administrative duties. A few letters of Charles Kendall Adams commence the letterbooks, and Acting Presidents are the signatories of several letters, notably T. F. Crane 1912 and 1913 when Schurman was serving as Ambassador to Greece, and Acting President Albert W. Smith in 1920 and 1921. Volumes 1-50 are letters signed by President Schurman; volumes 51-80 are letters signed by President Schurman's Secretary on behalf of the Office of the President.
In addition to the routine administrative subjects in the correspondence that devolved typically from the Office of the President of Cornell, topics include the 1903 typhoid epidemic in Ithaca, the establishment of the Carnegie Fund, the Leo Frank case, the Chi Psi fire, the construction of several new campus buildings, co-education and women students, African-American students on campus, and relations with Ithaca, New York. Other topics and concerns in the letterbooks include the president's relations with faculty, college benefactors, and presidents of other universities; also, fraternities and campus housing, foreign students, religious education, and Sage Chapel preachers. President Schurman made several appearances before alumni groups throughout the nation, and correspondence to this effect is plentiful. Cornell's relations with other universities, other associations of American universities, and educational societies are mentioned frequently. The element of publicity is suggested by Schurman's many letters to newspapers, magazines, and publishers. The university's role in World War I is shown as the president assists in the mobilization of resources and facilitates the university's preparation of its students to become soldiers; letters to the United States War Department are numerous. The development of the New York State College of Agriculture and the New York State Veterinary College at Cornell is referred to in many letters, as well as a proposed School of Forestry. Schurman corresponded frequently with Andrew Carnegie, and with officials of the Carnegie Foundation and the Carnegie Corporation. He also wrote many letters to immediate family members of Ezra Cornell.
Principal recipients of letters include Lyman Abbott, Liberty Hyde Bailey, Frank Barton, C. E. Bennett, Charles H. Blood, George Boldt, G. P. Bristol, J. E. Creighton, L. M. Dennis, W. A. Hammond, Frank H. Hiscock, Charles Evans Hughes, C. H. Hull, David Starr Jordan, A. T. Kerr, D. S. Kimball, Albert R. Mann, Veranus A. Moore, Jared T. Newman, Henry S. Pritchett, C. W. Pound, W. M.

DuPratt White, W. F. Willcox, and C. V. P. "Tar" Young. In addition to these principal recipients, many additional names are listed in the index, including such important Cornell personalities as Willard Straight, E. B. Titchener, and Martha Van Rensselaer.

Series IV. Clippings, 1892-1942
A comprehensive project involved members of the staff of the President's Office and others in chronicling Schurman's career. In some cases, a newspaper printing of a speech delivered by Schurman is the only copy of the speech to be found in the collection. Caricatures of Schurman as printed in newspaper stories are in the clippings, as well as an account of his touting of Charles Evans Hughes for the Presidency of the United States, and his vigorous promotion of Philippine independence. Similarly, affairs in other parts of the world, and Schurman's interest in or involvement with these, can be traced in the clippings.
