J. Herman Wharton Papers
John Herman Wharton (1889-1921) was an SU graduate, professor, and founder of the University's College of Business Administration. Despite few resources, he oversaw its swift growth into one of SU's most successful programs. His career came to a tragic end, however, when he was murdered in his office by a troubled faculty member. The Wharton Papers contain photographs and writings related to his time at Syracuse University.
This collection includes a variety of correspondence, documents, and photographs from the family of Dean George Fisk Comfort. Processing was made possible through a grant from The Gladys Krieble Delmas Foundation.
