abstract

{"value"=>"Collection consists of Mandel's correspondence, writings, and a scrapbook of newspaper clippings. Includes writings and exercises as a student at New York University (Class of 1907); materials for teaching English to Hungarian immigrants through a correspondence course conducted by the Mandel family starting in 1905; literary papers including his guide-books entitled Amerikai Kalauz (1913); papers from his journalistic career with various Hungarian-American periodicals and as an officer of the Foreign Language Press Association; and 1925 diary. Correspondence concerns his welfare work and the Americanization of Hungarian immigrants through organizations such as the Society of Hungarian Engineers and Architects, 1901-1926, and the Hungarian Free Lyceum of New York, 1910-1922; and his active role in promoting Kossuthville in Polk County, Florida, a resettlement project for Hungarian farmers, 1924-1948. Scrapbook, 1915-1928, contains pasted newspaper articles in English and Hungarian, many written by or concerning Mandel, and a small amount of ephemera. The bulk, dating 1925, are from the New York paper Amerikai Magyar Nepszava, regarding Kossuthville, Florida."}
