Philip A. Duey

The Philip A. Duey Material consists of only two folders, one detailing the radio career of the Club's one time director before he came to Ann Arbor and the other containing miscellaneous personal material. A few newspaper clippings about Duey before he came to the University of Michigan are found in the appropriate chronological folder, particularly 1946-1947.

Correspondence

Arranged chronologically by season, the Correspondence series mostly reflects the negotiations the club's business manager conducted to secure appearances for the club. The bulk of the letters come from the early 1920s, with two additional folders from the late 1930s. The "1923 West Coast Trip" folder gives the most accurate representation of the often arduous process taken to secure dates and venues for tours. Of note is a letter of thanks from President Gerald R. Ford

Topical

The Topical file deals largely with items documenting the tours upon which the Men's Glee Club frequently embarked. The performance contracts, though not complete, provide a useful and extensive overview of the types of places, venues, and dates the club played and the terms and conditions they demanded. The "Constitution and By-Laws" folder gives an overview of Glee Club policies and administrative operations. The folders in the "Tours" subseries are comprised of materials the club put together in preparation for travel and include itineraries and guides to their destinations.
