The Henry Max Goettsch Papers consist of one letter from Goettsch to Dr. C.L. Von Ende, dated July 4, 1901. The letter contains Goettsch's impressions of "the standard oil school," the University of Chicago. He writes of the faculty he has encountered, his thoughts on President Harper and Rockefeller, and his predictions for the future of the University.
