Part 1 (Wis Mss QT): Original Collection, 1897-19448.4 c.f. (19 archives boxes and 4 volumes) The Original Wehrwein collection is organized as Correspondence; Lecture and Course Plans; Speeches, Articles, and Reviews; and Research Notes, Studies and Reports, and Miscellaneous Materials. Correspondence: The Wehrwein correspondence, 1897-1944, is arranged by months. The correspondence relates to Wehrwein and his educational training, academic enterprises, literary endeavors, and family matters. The most disturbing correspondence concerns Wehrwein's financial controversies with Professor Richard T. Ely regarding the division of profits from their book, Land Economics. Describing his dissatisfaction with Ely's contributions to this manuscript in a letter dated February 1, 1939, Wehrwein catalogued his grievances against his collaborator:
In all fairness to me you will have to admit that instead of a 50-50 division of labor or even a 3 to 12 division, the manuscript, as it has gone to the publishers, is at least 95 percent my work. To me has also fallen the work and expense of the illustrations and practically all the cost of typing the manuscript. Since I have returned to Madison it has taken practically all of my time to get the book under the deadline set by MacMillans, and even now not all the illustrations are at hand, nor is the bibliography begun. With this history before us I propose: (1) That in the forward or preface, over your signature, you state that “the present volume is practically all the work of my associate, George S. Wehrwein” etc... (2) That the order of the names be changed on the back title page, and any other place where the authors are mentioned. It is to be the Wehrwein-Ely Land Economics.(3) That royalties to be divided 50-50 until the time of your death; however, not less than two royalty payments in any case are to be divided in this manner. After that all the royalties are to fall to me or my family; my own fate, in other words, will not change the above arrangement. This modifies the statement made in your letter of May 2nd that after your death 2/3 of the royalties should go to me and 1/3 to your family. I'm not so much concerned about the royalties as having the book entirely my property and no “splitting of the bundle of rights” with anyone. Lecture and Course Plans: These folders include Professor Wehrwein's lecture and course plans for the subjects such as Land Income (Economics 221), Urban Land Economics 117, and Rural Regional Planning 192, that he taught at Wisconsin and at other institutions around the country. For instance he taught one summer session at the University of Colorado. Speeches, Articles, and Reviews: This box contains many of Wehrwein's speeches, articles, and book reviews that he published during his academic career, as well as a manuscript of Land Economics. Research Notes, Studies and Reports, and Miscellaneous Materials: These folders contain research notes for speeches and lectures on various topics such as land utilization. It also includes studies and reports concerning governmental, agricultural and land problems such as the consolidation of towns in Oconto County. The box contains Wehrwein's class notes, term papers, and examinations that he accumulated during his undergraduate and graduate days at the University of Wisconsin. It also includes newspaper clippings and releases relating to Wehrwein's activities and miscellaneous materials such as his 1940 membership certificate with the American Society of Planning Officials.
