Scope and Content Note

The Fetter mss., 1875-1988, consists of letters and papers of Frank Albert Fetter, 1863-1949, economist. The papers in the collection relate in the main to monopolies, anti-trust legislation, Federal Trade Commission, and the basing point system of pricing particularly in the steel and cement industries. In addition to manuscripts there is printed and mimeographed material including miscellaneous numbers of periodicals, reprints, clippings, pamphlets, briefs of court cases and Federal Trade Commission hearings, and some government documents. Included also in the collection is correspondence, 1900-1901, relating to the dismissal of Edward Alsworth Ross from the faculty of Stanford University under circumstances which, it was claimed, involved the freedom of teaching, and Fetter's resignation as a result of this affair. The correspondence is largely between Fetter and David Starr Jordan, but there are also letters from other persons, most of them being members of university faculties.
