RANDOLPH BURGESS ROBERT D. CALKINS F. CYRIL JAMES WILLIAM MCC. MARTIN, JR. WALTER W. STEWART JOSEPH H. WILLITS DONALD B. WOODWARD, Secretary MILDRED ADAMS, Executive Director THE BROOKINGS INSTITUTION 722 JACKSON PLACE, N. W. WASHINGTON 6, D. C. May 18, 1956 This Committee takes pleasure in sending you a volume which we hope will prove useful to students delving into the early history of the Federal Reserve System. This is the Selective Inventory of certain papers of the late Carter Glass, Senator from Virginia and one-time Secretary of the Treasury, sometimes called "Father of the Federal Reserve System." As you probably know, the Carter Glass papers were given to the Alderman Library at the University of Virginia in 1947 by members of the Senatorfs family. In the decade since that time various scholars have dipped into them for various scholarly purposes, but no inventory of their contents was available. Our Committee on the History of the Federal Reserve System was established in 1954. One of its early projects was an attempt to find out how valuable the Glass collection might be in helping to illumine early System history. Dr. Elbert Kincaid, formerly vice president of the Federal Reserve Bank of Richmond and recently resigned from the University of Virginia, was commissioned by this Committee to undertake a survey of the papers in the summer of 1954. The Selective Inventory we are sending is the result of Dr» Kincaid?s work. We present it as a research aid of use to students interested in the papers and eager to assess the Federal Reserve material they include. It is our hope that the Inventory will help in study of the System's early days.

These papers are preserved in two categories - one a series of letter-press copies of letters written "by Mr. Glass while Secretary of the Treasury and ex-officio Chairman of the Federal Reserve Board from December 1918 to February 1920, the other a mass of unbound papers contained in 423 boxes, rough-sorted according to date. The letter-press volumes, which have not been examined for this selective inventory, are dated as follows 1 1. 18 Dec. 1918 - 24 Jan. 1919 20 22 Jan. 1919 - 13 Mar. 1919 3. 12 Mar. 1919 4. 2 May 2 May 1919 1919 - 23 June 1919 5. 24 June 1919 - 29 Aug. 1919 6. 29 Aug. 1919 - 15 Dec. 1919 7. 15 Dec. 1919 - 3 Feb. 1920 The selective inventory herein presented concerns itself only with the unbound papers. A few additional papers have been presented to the University by members of the Glass family since this selective inventory was made in 1954. FOREWORD To write a history of any social institution is one of the best ways to protect it from false and misleading statements concerning the purposes of those who helped to establish it. True history involves careful and sound research in order to obtain the facts about the institution under study* In the history of the Federal Reserve System there are gaps which call for intensive research. As yet, there has not been written an authentic and comprehensive account of the System's origin or of its development. Students are faced with conflicting accounts, sometimes erroneous, sometimes misleading. When the Committee on the History of the. Federal Reserve System set to work to investigate the source material from which the basic facts concerning this extraordinary.American institution are evolved, it turned first to the surviving records of a man who bears a primary responsibility for the creation of the System. The life of that great Christian gentleman, Carter Glass of Virginia, is to a large extent the story of the origin and development of the Federal Reserve System, but one could well reverse the statement and say that the story of the evolution of the Federal Reserve System is also to a considerable extent the story of Carter Glass• His long career as member of the House of Representatives and its Committee on Banking and Currency,: meiaber of the United States Senate and its analogous committee, Secretary of the Treasury, involved a considerable accumulation of corre* spondence and documents bearing directly on the creation of the Federal Reserveo The Alderman Library of the University of Virginia holds a large share of those papers, received from the Carter Glass estate. These papers are filed and shelved in 423 boxes, many of them containing hundreds of items. Examination of the collection fills one with astonishment at the vast amount of work which Mr. Glass was able to 2 perform0 His studies involved many personal conferences with scholars and bankers as well as much correspondence, long hours of work on committees and diligent attention to hearing and committee reports * He was continually attentive to the problems of his constituents and the welfare of his native state, but he also devoted much attention to national affairs• The creation of an adequate banking structure to serve the needs of the whole country was a primary.interest. In examining the Senatorfs papers, one is brought face to face with the controversies of the period* One of these, which has continued, is the actual authorship of the Federal Reserve Act. The Glass papers are rich in material supporting the view that while others made contributions to the Act, Glass himself was the one real author• Those who have worked on the papers, reading and appraising them, finding many of peculiar interest and significance to economists and to students of central banking, remain convinced that, however much assistance he received from others (and he would be the first to give them due credit), his was the guiding influence in creating the banking legislation of 1913o The collection offers a rich field for research by qualified scholars among materials which call for correlative and comparative study, and much thorough reflection,, The inventory here presented represents the first comprehensive examination to be made of these papers since they were deposited in the Alderman Library by Mr. Carter Glass Jr. This is a partial catalogue of the papers, with emphasis on the economic aspects of the collection Special attention has been paid to documents pertaining to monetary matters, particularly those relating to the banking system. The researchers have looked primarily for any items pertaining to the Federal Reserve System* No attempt has been made to evaluate those documents which have been discovered. The summary represents a box by box listing of those items located which were felt to be of sufficient importance to warrant notation* 3 Three graduate students at the University of Virginia, Mr. William Edel, Mr. Samuel Cardwell and Miss Anne Thomas, assisted in the preparation of the inventory. Suspecting that the most important Federal Reserve mate- rial would be found early in the collection, some of the researchers began work at the other end and thus gained experience on less valuable material. With this exception, no specific order was maintained in carrying out the task. In the making of notes upon each individual box, some uniformity may be observed, although a certain latitude in procedure was allowed. In most cases, the initial statement corresponds to the notation on the outside of the box represented so as to facilitate identification. In many instances, the cataloguing has been done by listing individual items in numerical order • "When the content of a box was of such a nature as to be susceptible to grouping by topic, alphabetical order has sometimes b^een used to set apart the categories thus distinguished. The numerical system has been retained for presenting individual items included with the topical sections. A portion of the work consists of descriptive summary paragraphs, a technique used for material of a secondary type. The final product has been assembled in numerical order by box number. The numbers at the top of each page designate the box which has been summarized. It is anticipated that there will be no change in the arrangement of the boxes. This inventory was prepared during the summer and autumn of 1954 at the Alderman Library, University of Virginia. The laborious nature of the work was made less burdensome by the courtesy of the staff of the McGregor Room in which the work was done* The thanks of the workers go to them and to Dr. Francis L. Berkeley, Curator of Manuscripts at the Library, whose hospitality and counsel have facilitated the completion of the task. Elbert A. Kincaid, Charlottesville, Virginia. November 1954.
