7.98 linear ft. (19 boxes)

Abstract:

The papers of Hugh Borton, Haverford's president from 1957 to 1967, are arranged in three series. The Alphabetical series consists of a small and random selection of his office files.

The Affiliations series relate to his work with U.S.-Asian, particularly U.S.-Japanese, organizations, the Society of Friends, and higher education groups. The third series is a small group of files on some of his activities before assuming the Haverford presidency.

There is some information on his appointment and resignation as College president and some post-presidential correspondence.
