Clippings, Lectures and Writings

The Clippings, Lectures, and Writings series consists of Manny's writings as well as of those he assembled from and about Professor John Dewey, writer James Oppenheim, and Rolland E. Wolfe. The Manny subseries consists primarily of his own published and unpublished writings, with one folder of clippings about Manny. Also included are two folders of clippings with no consistent theme. A complementary collection of Manny's writings, including his poetry, and of clippings about his professional and community activities is available in the Scrapbooks series.

The Dewey subseries includes detailed notes of Dewey's lectures on such topics as the ethical principals underlying education, the history of modern ethical ideas, moral and political philosophy, and social psychology. Rolland Wolfe's memorial address for Annette and Frank Manny provides a personal perspective on its honorees' characters and interests.
