Scope and Content Note

The papers of Wiley Blount Rutledge (1894-1949) span
the years 1912-1984, with the bulk of the items concentrated
in the period 1935-1951. Rutledge was professor and
dean of the University of Iowa College of Law in 1939
when appointed by President Franklin D. Roosevelt to
the United States Court of Appeals for the District
of Columbia. Elevated to the Supreme Court in February
1943, he served as associate justice of the high court
until his death in 1949. His papers consist of eight
series organized as Family Papers, General Correspondence,
United States Court of Appeals File, Supreme Court File,
Academic File, Speeches and Writings, and Miscellany
and an Addition.

The papers treat most aspects of Rutledge's public career
from 1935 onward but are especially complete for the
period of his judicial appointments. The Court of Appeals
and Supreme Court files include material Rutledge accumulated
for those decisions in which he wrote an opinion or
exercised influence. Rutledge kept incoming notes and
letters and retained copies of most of his outgoing
communications and writings, including intracourt memoranda,
working drafts of opinions, case memoranda or certiorari,
summaries of lawyers' opinions, and conference proceedings.
Although most of this material is in the two court series,
important communications about his work as a jurist
are also contained in the General Correspondence. Among
acquaintances in whom Rutledge confided was Ralph F.
Fuchs, a friend from Washington University in St. Louis,
where Rutledge taught before moving to Iowa. Other correspondents
whose letters appear throughout the collection include
W. Willard Wirtz, a future secretary of labor whom Rutledge
had hired while dean at the University of Iowa; Huber
O. Croft and Mason Ladd, also from Iowa; and Arthur
J. Freund, Luther Ely Smith, and Tyrrell Williams, friends
from St. Louis days. A third group of insiders was comprised
of a chosen few law clerks: Victor Brudney, W. Howard
Mann, John Paul Stevens, and Richard Wolfson.

The World War II setting of Rutledge's terms on the
federal bench generated numerous controversial issues
documented in various parts of the Supreme Court File.
Decided between 1943 and 1949 were more than a dozen
free speech and church-state disputes plus landmark
cases concerning search and seizure actions, the right
to counsel, and self-incrimination. Also at issue was
the relationship between the scope of military authority
and the inviolability of certain constitutional principles.
Rutledge was engaged in the court's review of the war
crimes trial of Japanese General Tomayuki Yamashita
and the decisions regarding the internment of Japanese-Americans.
His dissent in the Yamashita judgment drew a particularly
strong public response, as did another sensitive issue,
his disagreement with the majority in Everson v. Board
of Education in which the court condoned the limited
authorization of incidental public funds to parochial
schools.

Another prominent topic in the Supreme Court File and
other series is the legal review of New Deal agencies
and their administrative powers. Rutledge's views on
the role of the judiciary and a regulated economy, for
instance, can be discerned from notes of talks and manuscripts
of articles in the Speeches and Writings File. Rutledge
was not a prolific writer, but he contributed book reviews
to law journals and spoke out on child labor laws, the
direction and quality of legal education, and the role
of business corporations in American life. A file of
particular significance contains a series of special
lectures he delivered at the University of Kansas in
1946, one of which was later published as A Declaration
of Legal Faith.

The Academic File includes notes, clippings, and secondary
material Rutledge collected while developing lectures
and building a casebook on corporate law as a faculty
member at the University of Colorado beginning in 1924.
Other subjects concern his administrative functions
at the University of Iowa and Washington University
in St. Louis and reports he wrote on subjects such as
child labor laws and the statewide organization of the
Iowa Bar Association. Letters on these and related topics
are also contained in the General Correspondence, as
are frequent communications with former students and
exchanges with fellow legal experts concerning Rutledge's
involvement with national law organizations, including
the American Bar Association, the Association of American
Law Schools, and the Conference of Commissioners on
Uniform State Laws.

The Family Papers, though not extensive, include Rutledge's
correspondence with his father, Wiley Blount Rutledge,
Sr., and with his two half-brothers, Dwight and Ivan
C. Rutledge. Letters to and from several cousins and
correspondence with former Michigan Congressman Seymour
H. Person, a brother-in-law whom Rutledge wrote to about
legal as well as family matters, are also present.

The Addition consists largely of family papers, general
correspondence, and Supreme Court case files that complement
similar series and files in the main portion of the
collection. The miscellany section of the addition includes
papers of Edna Lindgreen, Rutledge's former secretary,
which contains correspondence with Rutledge and other
related material.

Correspondents in the collection include Clay R. Apple,
Abraham P. Frey, Bernard C. Gavit, Guy M. Gillette,
Henry J. Haskell, Jacob M. Lashly, Edna Lindgreen (his
secretary), George W. Norris, Joseph R. O'Meara, Jr.,
John C. Pryor, Robert L. Stearns, and Carl Wheaton.
Among the judges with whom Rutledge served and whose
names appear prominently in the papers are Hugo LaFayette
Black, Harold Burton, William O. Douglas, Henry W. Edgerton,
Felix Frankfurter, Duncan L. Groner, Robert H. Jackson,
Justin Miller, Frank Murphy, Harold M. Stephens, Harlan
F. Stone, and Fred M. Vinson.
