Abstract
The records consist of lists, typescripts, correspondence, and financial records relating to the Men of Yale Series edited by Albert B. Crawford (Yale 1913).
Biographical / Historical
The Men of Yale Series was conceived and financed by Edwin Foster Blair (Yale 1925, LLB 1928, and LLD). The series consisted of four published volumes (three volumes of Yale football men, 1872-1960 and one volume of Yale Phi Beta Kappa men, 1778-1959) and one unpublished volume on Yale honorary degree recipients. The series was published from 1962-1968.
