Container Title
Subseries: Subseries 1: Biographical File
Scope and Content Note: The “Biographical File” includes agreements, calendars, diaries, correspondence, financial records, notes, notebooks, passports, certificates, clippings, miscellany, and assorted subject files. Of particular interest is a diary Schneider kept from December 1941 to February 1943. The diary focuses on the out-break and major events of World War II and contains Schneider's impressions and attitudes on topics such as the role of creative arts and education in wartime; the academic attitude toward the war; the American public's attitude toward Germany, Japan, and Russia; and his view of isolationism. Also included in this file are notes from an Advanced Directing class taught by Walter Kerr at Catholic University.
