General correspondence, 1927-1935
The dean was occupied with many administrative matters including teaching appointments, housing for faculty, salaries, and textbooks. Dean Harold Scott's records reflect these duties. But there is also a considerable amount of correspondence with friends and former colleagues that provides information about the college and Robert Academy, as well as comments on the Near East.
Scott corresponded with Floyd Henson Black while Black served as president of the American College in Sofia during the 1930s. During J. Black's presidency of Robert College (1944-1955) they corresponded while the latter traveled to the U.S. to recruit faculty and raise funds.
Scott also continued to correspond with George Huntington following the latter's retirement. Huntington reported extensively on the activities of faculty and alumni in the U.S. The Huntington home often served as "home base" for visitors from Turkey.
With the corning of World War II, Scott's correspondence conveys the problems facing college administrators during the war years. Scott remained in Turkey until the 1950s and was active in college affairs until his death in 1958.
