Perry, Glen C. H. (Glen Crossman Hayes), 1903-

Glen Crossman Hayes Perry (Princeton Class of 1926) was an American journalist and publicist.

The Glen C.H. Perry Papers consists of works, lecture note cards, correspondence, an audio tape, and printed matter of Perry (Princeton Class of 1926). The collection contains the typed manuscript with author's corrections of Dear Bart (Westport, Conn.: Greenwood Press, 1982), a personal narrative about World War II, and the typed manuscripts of articles, speeches, and lectures by Perry in his capacity as public relations director of Du Pont. There is correspondence regarding seminars, lectures, and meetings in which he participated, as well as congratulatory letters to him upon joining Du Pont as assistant public relations director (1944) and on being named director (1965). Also included is a tape of a radio interview on the New York radio station WRVR entitled "The Function of Public Relations."
