Born on February 2, 1878, in Ann Arbor, Michigan, Christian Gauss was the son of German immigrants. Gauss attended the University
of
Michigan and later became an instructor there after graduating with an A.B. in 1898. In 1901, Gauss left Michigan to become
Instructor
of Modern Languages at Lehigh University. Gauss moved to Princeton in 1905 and became one of Woodrow Wilson's original
preceptors. Two
years later he was promoted to full professor. In 1912, Gauss became chairman of the Department of Modern Languages, a
position he
held until 1936. As a professor, Gauss became known for his lectures. He often drafted several versions, honing them to
the point
where he felt they could be delivered.
In 1925, he was appointed Dean of the College. Gauss, the professor and dean, was often described as being firm but fair.
Students
described his courses as being both rigorous and rewarding. He often invited students to his family's home to discuss
intellectual or
personal matters they may have been dealing with or simply to listen to sports on the radio. In 1929, Gauss was named
first incumbent
of a chair in modern languages endowed by his friends in the Class of 1900. Gauss was committed to Princeton University
throughout his
career, even beyond his professional responsibilities. He edited the Princeton Alumni Weekly, served as
trustee and vice president of Princeton University Press, was chairman of the University Council on Athletics, and helped
found and
served as first chairman of the Creative Arts Council. He eventually retired from Princeton University in 1946 but remained
active in
alumni affairs until his death in 1951.
Gauss became one of the foremost voices on liberal education while at Princeton. He published articles and essays on the subject
throughout his career. He also wrote extensively on literature, penning numerous critical essays and reviews, and he authored
several
books, including Life in College and A Primer For Tomorrow. Gauss also
edited several works, such as The Teaching of Religion in American Higher Education, a collection of
essays by prominent commentators on higher education.
The collection consists of personal and professional writings, correspondence, printed documents, and other materials of Gauss.
The
bulk of the writings consist of annotated drafts for essays, lectures, and books he authored and edited. Also included
are
personal wirings, such as diaries, notebooks, and unpublished poetry. The bulk of the correspondence is professional
in nature.
However, some personal correspondence with family members and close friends is included. The subjects of much of the
correspondence pertains to his tenures as professor and dean at Princeton. Memorabilia, photographs, printed material,
and
miscellaneous emphemera Gauss collected, span his days in Ann Arbor and Princeton. Included here are group photographs,
newspaper
clippings, pamplets, and calling cards. There are also some documents pertaining to Gauss's wife and family.
This collection is open for research.
Single photocopies may be made for research purposes. No further photoduplication of copies of material in the collection
can be
made when Princeton University Library does not own the original. Permission to publish material from the collection
must be
requested from the Associate University Librarian for Rare Books and Special Collections. The library has no information
on the
status of literary rights in the collection and researchers are responsible for determining any questions of copyright.
The initial accession occurred on May 8, 1952, when the bulk of the Christian
Gauss material was given to Princeton as a gift from Alice Gauss. Several pieces of correspondence were added in November 1967 as a gift from Dr. Eric Kahler. A single letter was added in July 1968 as a gift from R. Sturgis Ingersoll. Princeton received Gauss's 1929
diary, notes, drafts, lectures, professional correspondence, and printed matter as a gift from Dr. Stuart A. Jackson
in May 1976.
No accruals are expected.
The Seeley G. Mudd Manuscript Library holds material related to Christian Gauss in the Office of the Dean of the Faculty Records
and the Faculty Files.
