Samuel Northrup Harper was born on April 9, 1882, in the Morgan Park section of Chicago. He was the eldest son of William Rainey Harper who, several years later, became the first president of the new University of Chicago. His mother, Ella Paul Harper, was the daughter of Dr. David Paul, president of Muskingum College in Ohio.
From his earliest youth Samuel Harper was influenced by academics and scholars. Professors from abroad were often guests in his father's home. It is not surprising therefore that he was drawn to an academic career, or that his field of specialization should be a foreign nation. Harper’s choice to study Russia was largely determined by Charles. R. Crane, a Chicago industrialist and close friend of the Harper family. Long a student of Russia, Crane was to become famous as a world traveler and philanthropist, a friend of Woodrow Wilson, a member of the Root Mission in 1917 and Minister to China in 1920-21. In 1900, he took Harper's father on one of his frequent trip to Russia. William Rainey Harper returned with a great enthusiasm for that country which he imparted to his son. On completing his undergraduate studies at the University of Chicago in 1902, Samuel sailed in October of that year for Paris to study Russian language and literature at the École des Langues Orientales.
Between 1904, when he attended the University of Moscow, and 1939, Harper visited Russia eighteen times. Before the Bolshevik Revolution in 1917 he had many friends and acquaintances both in the government and among the parties agitating for reform, and he know violent revolutionaries as well. He witnessed the demonstration at the Winter Palace which ended in the Bloody Sunday massacre and the Revolution of 1905. He attended sessions of the Duma in 1906, 1907, 1908, and 1909. In St. Petersburg in 1906 he met Bernard Pares, then a fellow of the University of Liverpool, with whom he formed a life-long friendship. They collaborated in studying first-hand the turbulent political situation. This early period in his career is reflected in the letters to his family (Series I). But even more important insights are in the notes, diaries, and interviews (Series II). There are the records of the many interviews with political figures such as Paul Miliukov, Prince Urusoff, P. A. Stolypin, Count Witte, and P. B. Struve which Harper conducted with Pares. There also are records of priests, students -and Harper's travel diaries in which he set down his observations of provincial life and customs and his notes on the Dumas, on political parties, on people and places.
In 1905, Harper accepted an offer from Mr. Crane to subsidize his career as a specialist in Russian affairs. His agreement with Crane stipulated that he spend half of each year studying and teaching in the United States and half in travel and study in Russia. With his salary provided by a grant from Crane to the University, in September of 1906 he began teaching the first courses in Russian studies to be offered at the University of Chicago. Three years later Harper was discouraged from continuing his work at the University. His classes were not well attended and President Judson expressed doubt as to the value of teaching Russian at Chicago. [Samuel N. Harper, The Russia I Believe In, ed. Paul. V. Harper (Chicago: University of Chicago Press, 1945) p. 52. ] To this point Harper's studies had been mainly philological. Deciding that he needed training in the social sciences, in 1909 he obtained a fellowship at Columbia University where he studied political science for two years.
In the spring of 1911, Harper accepted an offer to join the staff of the new school of Russian Studies at the University of Liverpool headed by his friend Pares. His duties in Liverpool consisted of lecturing on Russian legal and institutional history, editing the school's publication The Russian Review, with Pares and Maurice Baring, and acting as administrative head in Pares' absence. Harper's contributions to the Review are represented here by the drafts of his article "Exceptional Measures in Russia" and drafts of a number of book reviews (Series V). As he and Pares alternately spent part of the year in Russia, much of Harper's correspondence at this time was with Pares and the secretary of the School on the subject of the Review. It was in part the difficulties and frustrations of working with Pares, clearly reflected in this correspondence, which led to Harper's resignation in the summer of 1913. [Harper, op. Cit. , pp. 75-76. ]
Harper spent September and October of that year collecting data on the Russian peasantry for Professor William I. Thomas of the University of Chicago, and traveling in the Russian provinces with W. W. Husband of the United States Department of Labor. With Harper's help, Husband was investigating frauds and abuses perpetrated on Russian peasants by German shipping companies and by American immigration officials on Ellis Island. Apparently he also hoped to implement a "scheme to regulate or control" immigration from Russia to the United States. [Letter to Harper's mother, October 4, 1913, Box I, f. 20. ]
After spending the winter in St. Petersburg occupied with the work for Thomas, Harper returned to Chicago for the academic year 1914-1915. He was to remain on the faculty until his death in 1943.
The outbreak of World War I propelled Russia to a position of importance which it had never before enjoyed in the eyes of Americans. Harper's correspondence reflects this new interest on the part of fellow academics, journalists, civil groups, and businessmen who, like Harper's friend Frederick Corse of the New York Life Insurance Company, had important financial interests in Russia.
Harper made three trips to Russia during the war. In 1915 he studied the Russian war effort. His visit to the front is recorded in a typescript draft of an article in Series V, “ aWeek with the Russian Army," an enthusiastic account of the qualities and spirit of Russian soldiers [Box 61, f. 10] Harper was optimistic regarding Russia's ability to stay in the war, and remained so until the fall of Kerensky.
In 1916, at the suggestion of Mr. Crane, then a close friend of the Wilson administration, the State Department asked Harper to accompany the newly appointed American ambassador David R. Francis to St. Petersburg. In spite of the initial objections of the University Administration, Harper ended his classes a month early and sailed with Francis in April, staying on in St. Petersburg through the summer as his unofficial adviser.
Harper returned to Chicago in September. The following April, the United States entered the war. To co-ordinate American policy with the new Russian government President Wilson appointed a special mission to Russia headed by Elihu Root. Harper was asked to act as adviser to this mission, which included among its members Mr. Crane and two other men with whom Harper was to become closely associated, Cyrus McCormick and John R. Mott. Harper resisted the suggestion that he should serve as the official secretary of the Mission, persuading "the powers in Washington" that he could be more useful in an unofficial capacity. [Letter to Roger H. Williams (carbon copy), April, 1917, Box 3, f. 13. See also clipping from the Chicago Examiner of April 22, and the Chicago Tribune of April 25, 1917, Box 4 , f. 1. ] It was at this point in his career that Harper, though without any official connection with the government, was most directly influential in Russian-American relations. "[H] is person," wrote George Kennan, "became a central point of contact and liaison for almost all the major American elements interested in the Russian problem… [George Kennan, The Decision to Intervene (Princeton: Princeton University Press, 1958) II, 330. ] According to William A. Williams, Harper was the main source of information upon which Wilson based his Russian policy. [William Appleman Williams, American-Russian Relations 1781-1947 (New York: Rinehart & Co. , 1952) p. 86. ]
On his return from three months in revolutionary Russia in September 1917 Harper found a maelstrom of confusion and pleas for information about Russia. Typical of his correspondence at the time is a telegram from the editor of the Christian Science Monitor, Frederick Dixon, "Send me anything you can on Russia. " [November 2, 1917, Box 4, f. 13. ] Harper asked for, and received from President Judson, permission to defer his teaching duties at the University. [Letter from Judson, October 26, 1917, Box 4 f. 12. ] Staying on in New York he divided his main efforts between work for the Committee on Public Information, headed by George Creel, and the "Inquiry," a group of experts recruited by Colonel House to prepare data for the American delegation to the Paris Peace Conference. [Letter to Judson (carbon copy), December 14, 1917, Box 4, f. 15. ] At the same time he wrote articles for the Christian Science Monitor and the Independent, delivered a paper before the American Historical Association meeting in Philadelphia, and addressed numerous civic organizations. His correspondents at this time included Assistant Secretary of State, William Phillips; Richard Crane (Charles Crane's son, also in the State Department); Professor James T. Shotwell of Columbia, head of the National Board of Historical Service in Washington; Cyrus McCormick; Walter Lippman; and many other businessmen, journalists, and academics interested in the fate of Russia.
It had become increasingly evident that events in Russia precluded for the item being another trip there and in January Harper returned to Chicago. Although he resumed teaching he also continued the more-or-less unofficial work he had been doing for the government.
In October 1918, The Committee on Public Information asked Harper, Professor Archibald Coolidge of Harvard, and Professor J. Franklin Jameson of the Carnegie Institution to examine the authenticity of some seventy documents smuggled out of Russia by Edgar Sisson, the Committee's representative in Petrograd. The findings of Harper and Jameson (Coolidge having declined to participate in the work) were ambiguously stated but did not exclude the interpretation most damaging to the Bolsheviks. This interpretation, to the effect that Lenin was a paid agent of the German General Staff, was published together with the documents themselves and the Harper-Jameson report, in a pamphlet entitled "The German-Bolshevik Conspiracy" (War Information Series, No. 20, October 1918). [Box 61, f. 18]
Harper's later doubts as to the authenticity of these documents and his regret for the role he had played in the affair are expressed in his published memoirs [Harper, op. cit., p. 112. ] and even more explicitly in the unpublished drafts of the memoirs. But the drafts also reveal Harper's continuing search for new evidence in support of his original position. [Box 76, f. 1. ] In this enterprise the State Department cooperated very actively, issuing instruction to its personnel abroad to seek evidence concerning the documents and the alleged conspiracy. As late as January 1921, the Embassy in Constantinople was engaged in tracing the movements of one Rudolph Bauer, believed to be one of the German officers whose signatures appear on some of the Sisson documents. [Box 62, f. 9. ] About half of Series VI, "The Sisson Documents," consists of State Department correspondence, the remainder being composed of the printer's proofs of the above-mentioned pamphlet, photostats of the documents themselves, and memoranda, reports, and articles refuting or supporting the authenticity of the documents or dealing with the issues raised by them.
On March 15, 1918, Harper realized a long-standing ambition when Acting Secretary of State Frank Polk appointed him special assistant in the State Department assigned to the new Russian Division. Harper's job was to evaluate and interpret information on Russia collected mainly by American embassies and legations in countries on the borders of the Soviet Union. At the same time the Division cooperated closely with J. Edgar Hoover who, as special assistant to the Attorney General, was fighting Communist propaganda and infiltration in the United States. In Harper's correspondence for these years there are several letters from and to Hoover, and a great many letters addressed to Hoover by other members of the Division which were forwarded to Harper for his information.
Harper's formal association with the government lasted until February 1922. During these years he followed a routine suggested by President Wilson who wished him to avoid “being engulfed in the bureaucratic atmosphere of the Department. " [Letter to Walter Rogers (carbon copy), July 22, 1940, Box 22, f. 7. ] Continuing his full load of teaching at the University, he also did most of his research and writing in Chicago, spending only the last week of every month in Washington to develop the reports he had sent in to the division during the previous weeks. Because of this arrangement a great deal of his work in the Division was carried on by mail. Consequently, in Harper's correspondence with the other members of the Divisions, Basil Miles, DeWitt C. Poole, Allan J. Carter, and Harper's secretary in Washington Dorothy Q. Read, it is possible to perceive in some detail the personal attitudes, opinions, and conflicts which contributed to formulating the official position of the division and thus, to some extent, American policy toward the Soviet Union. In addition, two other sections of the collection reflect Harper's State Department days. Series VII, "Reports to the State Department," contains the memoranda and reports, with the drafts and notes relating to them, prepared by Harper for the State Department. Series VIII, "Translations for the State Department," consists of the translations, summaries, and notations of articles from the Soviet press made to be kept on permanent file in the Russian Division.
During this same period of his career Harper was very active in combating Communist propaganda through "citizen" organizations such as the American-Russian League, the War Committee of the Union League Club, and the American Friends of a New Middle Europe, and by frequent speaking engagement before immigrant associations and other civic groups. Together with his work on the Sisson documents and his public support of Allied intervention in Siberia, such activity did not increase his chances of being admitted to the new Soviet Union. Nevertheless, at the request of a colleague, Professor Charles E. Merriam, who was editing a series of studies on civic training in major countries of the world, Harper agreed to write a volume on civic training in the Soviet Union. When Harper and Merriam left together for Europe in June 1926, despite the good efforts of this many friends Harper still had no Soviet visa. It was only by clever maneuvering that he managed to obtain on in extremis at the Russian embassy in Berlin. On July 18 he and Merriam boarded the train for Riga and Moscow. Thus began the first of Harper's six trips to the new Soviet Union.
The published study that resulted from his association with Merriam, Civic Training in Soviet Russia (Chicago: University of Chicago Press, 1929), received favorable reviews in the Soviet press and facilitated Harper's subsequent trips to Russia. [Letter from J. M. Pavloff, November 14, 1929, and enclosed clippings, Box 14, f. 27. ]
It was at this point in his career that Harper's attitude toward the Soviet regime softened. He now became, in the eyes of some, an apologist for Soviet policy. Preston Kumler of the Russian Division strongly implied that this change of heart was influenced by Harper's personal interest, as a Russian specialist, in free access to Russia. [See the correspondence with Kumler beginning with his letter of April 23, 1927. ] This terminated Harper's relationship with Kumler, but though henceforth he differed with the Division on the question of policy, it is characteristic of the man that he kept the friendship and respect of Robert F. Kelly, the head of the Division, and of many others in government and academia who disagreed with his position. Moreover, as late as 1930 he defended the American policy of non-recognition [Harper, op. cit. , p. 131] just as, in his anti-Bolshevik, State Department days, he had opposed the "Red-baiting campaign" of Mitchell Palmer. [Harper, op. cit. , p. 129. ]
Harper visited the Soviet Union in 1926, 1930, 1932, 1934, 1936, and 1939. He studied every aspect of Soviet society, economy, and political structure as is shown by a glance at the inventory of the notes in Series II, which includes everything from the New Economic Policy (NEP) to courting and popular jokes.
Though no longer connected with the State Department Harper kept in touch with friends there and in other branches of the government, sending them regular reports of his trips to Russia by the Institute of Current World Affairs (the Crane foundation) and frequently "making the rounds" in Washington to discuss questions of policy informally. [Drafts of some of these reports are contained in Series V, Box 60, f. 1-4. ] Thus it happened that he was visiting the Eastern European Division of the State Department in 1933 when the press release of Roosevelt's message to Kalinin, opening the way for recognition, came over the teletype. It is characteristic of the relationships he enjoyed in Washington that on this occasion he exchanged views with both Boris Skvirsky, the unofficial Soviet representative, and Secretary of State Cordell Hull, and prepared memoranda for William C. Bullitt who was appointed first American ambassador to the Soviet Union. [Harper, op. cit. , pp. 200-202.]
Harper visited Russia for the last time in 1939, on the eve of war. He came away impressed with Soviet strength. Yet this was the beginning of his persona,l "time of troubles. " The Soviet pact with Hitler, the Soviet occupation of eastern Poland, the Soviet attack on Finland and annexation of the Baltic States caused an "emotional upsurge" even among his liberal colleagues whose profession it was "to weigh the facts objectively. " [Harper, op. cit. , p. 266. ] Convinced that such "emotionalism" was playing into the hands of Hitler, Harper felt compelled to sacrifice the academic detachment which had been both his modus operandi and his greatest pride. In effect he became a counter propagandist. But the strain of defending Soviet policy in the face of almost unanimous hostility, on top of the effects of a cataract operation, brought on a nervous breakdown and a period of semi-retirement. ["Suggested form of editorial note introducing Professor Harper's last published address on Russia" (by Paul V. Harper), Box 77, f. 22.]
The day Germany attacked the Soviet Union, June 22, 1941, Harper's time of troubles came to an end. When the Red Army did not collapse as had been predicted by some "experts" in the West, Harper's position was vindicated. He was "let out of the dog house," his services were again in demand by groups interested in Russia, and he did not fail to retaliate with wit and some sarcasm against those who had called him "Soviet Sam. " [Box 77, f. 12 and 13. ]
Harper's memoirs, The Russia I Believe In, (edited by his brother Paul V. Harper and published posthumously in 1945), ends on 1 June 1941, some nineteen months before his death. However, Series XII, "Selected Material for and Drafts of the Memoirs," contains manuscripts in Harper's hand, covering a period in 1941-1942, which were not incorporated in the book. These manuscripts, together with the correspondence, show that in the last months of his life Harper was far from inactive. He kept up a lively correspondence with Loy Henderson in the State Department and with Constantine Oumansky the Soviet ambassador in Washington. In December 1940, and June 1941 he took part in Chicago Round Table radio broadcasts on the subject of Russia and the war. In September and November 1941, he again "made the rounds" in Washington as a very vocal advocate of Soviet interests, conferred with Ambassador Oumansky, and briefed Averell Harriman, Admiral Standley, and other members of the mission Harriman was preparing to lead to Moscow. Though his health would have precluded his acceptance there was talk in Washington of appointing him head of the Russian section of William Donovan's Office of Strategic Services. [Box 77, f. 12 and 13. ]
At the university there was renewed interest in Harper's courses. He was much sought as a speaker by civic and academic organizations. He helped to found the All-Chicago Committee for Salute to Our Russian Ally. Finally, he lived to see the turning point in the European war, and the promise of Soviet victory, in the battle of Stalingrad.
In the night of 17 January 1943, Harper died unexpectedly in his sleep at the age of sixty-one. A few hours before he had delivered his last address, "The Soviet Union and the War," to the Contributor's Club which had met in his home on Woodlawn Avenue.
Harper's appointment at the University of Chicago had been endowed throughout his career by grants, first directly from Mr. Crane and them from Crane's foundation, the Institute of Current World Affairs set up in 1925. Moreover it was in part Crane's intellectual influence which determined the scope and emphasis of Harper's interests, just as it had, in 1902, his field of specialization. Harper accepted Crane's advice, "to study all manifestations of Russian life but not to become associated with any single one," although the force of this precept was greatly increased by circumstances: the undeveloped state of Russian studies in the West and events which made Harper per-force a student of the multifarious phenomenon of revolution and a principal advisor to those responsible for American policy. [Letter to Walter Rogers (carbon copy), July 22, 1940, Box 22, f. 7. ]
These were also the circumstances and influences which tended to define Harper's rather anomalous position at the University. Although officially in the Department of Russian languages it was his practice to "work [his] way" into other departments by offering courses within their areas. [Letter to Walter Rogers (carbon copy), July 22, 1940, Box 22, f. 7. ] Thus he was invited into the departments of history, economics, sociology, and law. In view of the contemporary and diverse nature of his academic interests, his efforts on behalf of the new field of Slavic Studies in the United States, and his life-long preoccupation with reaching and reporting to "the so-called effectives" in matters of foreign policy, it is not surprising that he seems to have taken little or no interest in the governance or administration of the University founded by his father. [Letter to Walter Rogers (carbon copy), July 22, 1940, Box 22, f. 7. ]

Series I: Correspondence |
Harper's earliest letters were written to his father at the age of nine when he, his mother, his brother Paul, and Mrs. (George?) Goodspeed were on a trip to Europe in 1891-92. But the correspondence remains occasional until Harper, at eighteen, worked as a guard in the American Pavilion of the Paris Exposition of 1900. From that time on it is possible to follow his career through his letters with some continuity, especially during his frequent trips abroad. Having never married he lived with his mother until her death in 1942, only a few months before his own. The most complete and intimate account of his interest, opinions, and aspirations is expressed in his letters to her.
Between 1891 and 1899 there are only four letters. Thereafter, counting letters, telegrams, and postcards, there is a fairly steady increase from eight items in the 1900 to eighty-nine items in 1913. In 1914, reflecting to some degree the new interest in Russia occasioned by the war, there is a sudden jump to one hundred and eighty items with the rate of increase rising rapidly and culminating with about one thousand and fifty items in 1918, Harper's first and busiest year with the State Department and also the year of his work on the Sisson documents. Beginning in 1919 there is a gradual decline, which does not level off until 1929, after which the yearly average varies between four and five hundred items.
In connection with his work for the State Department, and also in his correspondence with the Institute of Current World Affairs (founded in 1925), Harper received as enclosures many letters and copies of letters written by or to figures of prominence. In the spring of 1917 he began to keep, as a regular practice, carbon copies of his own outgoing mail. The numbers mentioned above include these letter-enclosures and copies of outgoing mail as well as all types of incoming correspondence.
The arrangement used in this section is chronological. Letters which are dated according to both the old and the new styles (O. S. and N. S. ) are filed according to the new style, or Gregorian calendar. When only one date is indicated it is presumed to be the Gregorian or new style.

Series II: Notes, Diaries and Interviews |
There is significant overlap among the three types of material contained in this section. They are all notes of one kind or another - the primary records of Harper's eighteen trips to Russia and forty-three years study of Russian affairs, mainly in his own hand (except for a few interviews in the years, later on half sheets of typing size (51/2 x 81/2").
The notes, which are distinguished from the diaries because they have no chronological arrangement, are of two kinds. Those of sufficient length and coherence are listed in the inventory by their main topics. Those which are too disjointed or fragmentary to make their enumeration practical or their description by a single term or phrase possible are referred to as "miscellaneous. "
The diaries are the dated, chronological records of Harper's travels in the Russian provinces before 1915; later he used the form to make notes in Petrograd and Moscow as well. They contain not only his observations and comments on people, places, events, and institutions, but also random notations - such as names, addresses, personal accounts-and many interviews, usually with unnamed person, on the subject of local conditions. In the inventory the diaries are referred to as "travel" or "diaries" depending on whether they record trips through the provinces or deal with events or issues in the political centers of Petrograd or Moscow.
Finally, there are the longer interviews, often with well known political figures but also with people designated simple "policeman," "priest," "student," etc. In cases where no legible name or designation of the person interviewed has been provided by Harper, the interview is referred to by its main topic.
Almost never verbatim, the interviews are paraphrases, or translations from the Russian, of the original conversations. As the value of such material is to a great extent dependent on the way in which it was collected, the following passage from Pares' Foreword to The Russia I Believe In is pertinent:
We worked out a procedure of our own. We visited anyone who took a prominent part in the hectic life of that time-but never as interviewers; and as all confidences were respected, he would tell us his whole story-how he started, his views, his objects, and the part he had played. Usually, we went together; one of us handled the conversation, and the other committed it to memory; and the results we always recorded before we went to bed. Usually the work of each of us is recorded in the handwriting of the other...Suppose we were seeing, say, the fifth person present at some historical meeting; we could ourselves suggest corrections in his account, so that it was almost as if we were helping him to revise his memoirs before they appeared in print. ...But he [Harper] was also more practical than I, particularly in the tracing and capturing of out-of-the-way materials of political history, which we hunted up over the country. [Harper, op. cit. , p. , vii. ]
The material in this section is arranged chronologically based on the date of its composition in so far as this could be determined. When no date is recorded on an item the year of its composition, and its sequence within that year, have been estimated by examining its contents, and a question mark has been placed after the year. Because of its extremely diverse nature, as pointed out in the preceding paragraphs, the user should not assume that the headings used in the inventory reflect the entire contents of each envelope or folder.

Series III: Lectures and Lecture Notes |
The material in this section consists of notes, outlines, and fully developed lectures. It has been divided into three sub-series: General, Russian History, and Miscellaneous. Under the heading "General" material is arranged topically, in alphabetical order. The dates of composition after each designation in the inventory are those that appear on the item or, when followed by a question mark, those which have been suggested by Harper in his contents of the item. Some were apparently used by Harper in his courses at the University of Chicago, others were addresses delivered at his many appearances before civic groups.
The sub-series "Russian History" contains material for Harper's courses on that subject. As its organization is historical it is arranged chronologically from "Kiev and the Tartar Period" to "Twentieth Century Russia. " No dates of composition are given for these items; the dates in the inventory are those of the historical periods, which are the subjects of the lectures. Included here too are bibliographies compiled or collected by Harper and used in his courses. [Box 35, f. 23, 24, 25. ]
Under the sub-heading "Miscellaneous" are filed fragments, which apparently belong in this section.

Series IV: Articles, Reports, and Translations Collected by Samuel Northrup Harper |
The largest class of material collected here consists of copies of reports from American embassies and legations in Finland, the Baltic States, Turkey, and the Balkans. Based largely on translations form the Soviet press, they are addressed to the Secretary of State and were passed on to Harper for study in his capacity of special assistant in the Russian Division. Another large class are other translations and resumes of Russian sources-laws, decrees, speeches, and editorials-some of which may have been made by Harper himself. Finally, there are clippings of articles from Western magazines and newspapers on the subject of Russia and Bolshevism.
The arrangement used in this section is by subject, in alphabetical order, and within the subject by chronological sequence. The categories used were established for the most part by Harper and correspond roughly to those in Series VIII, "Translations for the State Department 1918-1922. " [About half of the material here was unfilled when the collection was received by the University of Chicago Library. As some of the unfilled items did not readily fit into the original categories, a few new ones were added to accommodate them. ]
Because of the overlapping nature of many of the categories the user may have to search under more than one heading to find the material he is looking for. In such a search the following examples and explanations may be helpful.
When the subject of an item clearly falls within the scope of an established category, it is, obviously, filed there. But there are numerous cases in which the subject of an article or speech may be difficult to narrow down. For example, the title of an editorial in Pravda of October 10, 1923, "The Peasant Reserve of the International Proletarian Revolution," might suggest that it be filed under "World Revolution," a conventional term of Communist dialectic used by Harper as a category, or under "Agriculture," which Harper uses very broadly to include everything from food shortages (but not famine) to life in the villages. However, a close scrutiny of the article in question reveals that it is about neither revolution nor the peasantry per se but the International Peasant's Conference held in the Kremlin in October of 1923. It is therefore filed under "Communist Party, International Activities. "
As stated above, priority of filing is given to the subject of an item. A speech by Stalin about Trotski is filed under "Trotski. " Directives from the Supreme Soviet regarding railways are filed under "Railways. " On the other hand, when an item treats more than one subject it is filed under its source. A speech in which Stalin speaks of foreign affairs, social problems, and trade, is filed under "Stalin. " But to this general rule there are two qualifications. 1) The institutional source is preferred to the personal. If Stalin's speech was delivered at a meeting of the Ninth Congress of the Third International, it is filed under "Communist Party, Third International. " 2) If the sum of the topics discussed in a single item such as a newspaper article or report fits under one of the general headings such as "General Conditions" or "Revolution and Civil War," it is filed there. These, and a few other very general categories, have been used to prevent and unmanageable proliferation of headings.

Series V: Articles by Harper |
This section contains articles by Harper including book reviews, reports privately distributed by the Institute of Current World Affairs, and drafts, some of which were never developed into articles. A comparison of Ronald Thompson's bibliography of Harper's writings with the material in this section will show that many items listed by Thompson are not represented here in any form. The memoranda for the State Department listed by Thompson are filed in Series VII, "Reports to the State Department. "
The arrangement here, made by Harper, is mainly by subject, in alphabetical order, and chronological within each subject. There are also some form categories such as "Newspaper Articles" and the articles on Russia filed under "Compton's Encyclopedia" and "World Book Encyclopedia. "

The reports, memoranda, and drafts in this section were for the most part developed by Harper from the studies and translations which he made while employed in the Russian Division of the State Department. They are arranged chronologically with the drafts and notes relating to a particular memorandum or report preceding it in the inventory.
Since Harper carried on much of his work for the Department in Chicago, going to Washington only periodically, there is a great deal of information concerning these reports and memoranda in the correspondence in Series I.

Since it follows the subject arrangement established by Harper and is the most closely divided of any in the collection, its categories reflect distinctions indicative of Harper's basic attitudes, views, and interests, and are therefore of some importance in themselves.
There are several earlier indexes to this section in Box 64, f. 29, none of which contain all the headings now included in the inventory.

Series IX: Translations from the Russian Religious News Service |
The existence of a number of drafts in this section suggests that Harper may have been the translator of at least a portion of these articles from the Soviet Press that appear to have been distributed by the Russian Religious News Service which operated out of an office at 347 Madison Avenue in New York City. The first third of the material here, under the sub-heading "Religion," concerns the Soviet campaign to suppress religion in Russia. The rest, under the sub-heading, "General," are articles of general interest, all written with a view to Marxist edification. The arrangement used in this section is a rough chronological order by year, with some subject grouping.

Series X: Exceptional Laws of Tsarist Russia |
The notes contained in this section deal with the special extra-legal discretionary powers which were invested in the Tsarist police and administration "to safeguard the political order and public peace. " Harper apparently intended this to be the subject of a dissertation. [See the copy of a letter of recommendation from Maxim Kovalevsky (n. d. ), Box 1, f. 13. ] Though he never wrote a dissertation he did publish an article on "Exceptional Measures in Russia" in the Russian Review. [Box 59, f. 18. ]
The headings and organization of this section have been preserved as Harper left them except that seven items which did not bear headings have been assigned them based on an examination of their contents. It should be noted that because of the discursive nature of some of this material the headings used are only rough indications of the contents.

Series XI: Documents in Russian Collected by Harper |
Harper was particularly intent on ferreting out documents of historical significance during his sojourns in Russia. [Harper, op. cit. , p. viii. ] Before the Revolution his many acquaintances in the opposition parties helped him acquire numerous documents relating to the activities of their parties or of other dissident groups. As there was no question of publishing these under the circumstances of repression prevailing at the time it is possible that some of the documents contained here provide information unavailable elsewhere.
Some are handwritten, such as the "Private Conference of Zemstvo Representatives in St. Petersburg, November 6-9, 1904" included in the "Kazan newsman's diary"; [Box 73, f. 3. ] others, like the transcript of the Peterhof Conference (July 19-20, 1905) are carbon copies of typescript; a few are typescript originals, such as the "Accusation Against fifty-five members of the Social Democratic Party. " [Box 73, f. 6. ]
In addition to the type of material mentioned above, this section also contains government committee reports, both Tsarist and Soviet, teaching plans, course outlines and syllabuses on the subject of Soviet political education; excerpts from Russian newspapers and T. A. S. S. press releases; Tsarist and Bolshevik broadsides and circulars; Tsarist émigré publications; and certain other diverse items such as a typescript copy of Tolstoy's, "The Destruction of Hell and its Restoration. " [ Box 73, f. 1] The index to this collection, arranged by both subject and title, lists some 1, 500 entries. Dating from both the Tsarist and the Soviet periods, they deal with almost every political and social issue of the times. Harper acquired many of them through his connection with the State Department which received material confiscated as subversive by the United States Post Office.

Series XII: Selected Material For the Memoirs and Drafts |
At his death on January 18, 1943, Harper left the manuscript of his memoirs through the year 1936 and for a period in 1941-1942. Mr. Ronald Thompson, one of Harper's students, selected from Harper's papers notes and correspondence with which to continue the story from the beginning of 1937 until the end of his life. This section contains the notes selected by Thompson as well as Harper's manuscript memoirs and the drafts of their published version, The Russia I Believe In, edited by his brother Paul V. Harper, with the assistance of Thompson. The correspondence which was contained in this section has been refilled in Series I.
The Russia I Believe In ends its account of Harper's career in June 1941. The importance of this section to anyone interested in Harper is that it contains, in manuscript, memoirs for 1941-1942, and, in the earlier drafts of The Russia I Believe In, information which does not appear in the book. In Thompson's prefatory notes, the first item in the following inventory, there is no suggestion that the last nineteen months of Harper's life would be omitted from the book, nor any indication as to why they were.
The organization used in this section is chronological. The chapters referred to are the drafts of those in The Russia I Believe In.

Series XIII: Miscellaneous |
Collected here are calling cards of Harper's friends and acquaintances, engagement and address books, postcards, and photographs. No attempt has been made to order the calling cards. The engagement and address books that are dated are arranged chronologically. The postcards, most of which have not been used, are ordered according to the subjects of their illustrations. The photographs are also grouped according to the nature of their subjects (landscapes, portraits, etc. ). Both the postcards and the photographs pertain largely to Russia. Other postcards, photographs, and negatives of photos in this collection are located in the S. N. Harper collection of Russian pamphlets (DK246 . S2 Rare).
