Solomon Henry Clark, Associate Professor of Public Speaking in the University of Chicago from 1901 to 1921, obtained his education at this institution (Ph.B., 1897), and taught here from 1892 until his retirement in 1921, having lectured previously at Trinity University (1886-1892). In addition to his academic career, he gave considerable time to outside speaking engagements, particularly to commercial, fraternal and philanthropic groups.
The collection relates entirely to his professional activities over a period from 1911 to 1922, and consists of one box of ten folders. It is divided into four general categories: correspondence; press notices; speeches; and articles by others. The section on speeches is further subdivided into preliminary notes and drafts, and speech texts. Aside from a letter from his son, Robert, and chance references in the press notices, the collection contains no personal papers or biographical materials.
