II. Professional Papers -- Correspondence, class notes, and other material relating to Anderson's and Brett's roles as Professors of Philosophy.
III. Philosophy Papers -- Manuscripts, book reviews, drafts of articles and correspondence reflecting Anderson's vocation as a professional philosopher.
IV. Personal Papers -- Anderson's tax returns, insurance claims, and some personal correspondence.
The folders of material in the seven boxes have been numbered consecutively from 1-377 for easy reference. The following pages of this finding aid outline in greater detail the scope and content of material in each of the above-mentioned four general divisions.
