Scope and content
This series mainly documents Prof. Nelson’s graduate work. Included is a typescript of his M.A. Thesis (Cornell 1949) British Dominions at the Paris Peace Conference 1919. In addition to a copy of his Ph.D. Thesis (1959 Columbia University) Britain and Germany’s Frontiers: A Study of Official British Attitudes and Policies, 1916-1919, there are also notes on revisions and related correspondence. One file of his undergraduate notes were retained since they seem to be notes taken for an Economics course taught by Harold Innis in 1938-39. Also preserved is a file of memorabilia collected as an undergraduate in history and a notice circulated on campus during the Underhill controversy.
