Papers of Wild, a Milwaukee attorney who was vice-president of the State Board of Bar Examiners and regent of the University of Wisconsin, accompanied by records of other members of his family. The collection consists essentially of papers of a German immigrant family that transplanted traditions and customs of the homeland to a new environment. The collection includes financial records of the Milwaukee West Seite Hoch Schule, 1871-1877; minutes of meetings of the Deutsche Gesellschaft von Milwaukee, 1880-1917; programs of German social and cultural activities; papers, 1846-1879, of Dr. Francis Huebschmann; and papers, 1844-1894, of Franz Anton Mohr, a family friend. Robert Wild's papers include letters from members of the legal profession in the state, from regents and faculty members of the University, particularly from the Department of German, and from leaders in German universities and institutes whom he met on a trip abroad in 1927; and also his articles and addresses on historical and literary subjects and on political measures he opposed, such as Prohibition and woman suffrage. The collection contains a diary, 1921, and some letters of Robert Wild's brother, George B. Wild. The latter, at one time business manager of the Toledo (Ohio) Baseball Club, corresponded with the club's patron, Noah Swayne, after 1915. There are also papers, 1825-1883, of Swayne's father, Noah Haynes Swayne, a United States Supreme Court justice, and his brother, General Wager Swayne.
