Series I is comprised of correspondence between Anderson and his professional and personal contacts, including mentors, colleagues, students, family, and friends. Many files also contain examples of the professional work of the individual, such as essays or reviews. The correspondence chronicles how Anderson's numerous professional relationships became long lasting friendships over time. They also illustrate the many friendships Anderson established with his students that continued long after they graduated from Columbia, some of whom eventually became his colleagues. This series is arranged alphabetically by the individual's last name.
