Folder 1: Short Accounts, Letters, Etc., 1939

This folder contains nine items, all of which have been digitized and are represented here. Some items are written by Father Ong, some are published and others are not.Items in this folder are from Sub-Series 1: Personal Bibliography. Father Ong kept this Personal Bibliography set of files (sub-series) together immediately before his Publications files. The sub-series title, “Personal Bibliography,” is somewhat misleading in that the material in these files is not really a bibliography at all. What Father Ong apparently meant by collecting these folders under the heading “Personal Bibliography” is that these items all held some importance to Father Ong, but they did not neatly fit into another series category. This notion of personal importance seems to be the common characteristic, whether the item is a publication containing a reference to his work, a brief summary or discussion of his work, a short statement he made about someone else’s publication, or a text of a talk or paper he never intended to publish
