 Biographical Note

Fred B. Millett (1890-1976) was a professor of English and director of the Honors College at Wesleyan University. He received his bachelor's degree from Amherst College and a Ph.D. from the University of Chicago. Prior to coming to Wesleyan in 1937, he taught at Carnegie Tech, Queen's University in Ontario, and the University of Chicago. Millett taught at Wesleyan from 1937 until 1958. He was the author of a number of books and a frequent lecturer on literature and scholarship.

Collection Overview

The Fred B. Millet World War II Letters from Students were sent from both Wesleyan and non-Wesleyan students involved in the war effort. Although the collection does not contain Millett's letters, the students' letters reveal much about the lives of the young men during the war. They were apparently written in response to Millett's occasional personal newsletter for Wesleyan servicemen.

The collection also includes two newspapers related to the end of the war in 1945.

Collection Arrangement

Arranged alphabetically by last name of student. If a Wesleyan year of graduation was found, this is noted.
