{"value"=>"<p>The Comparative Literature Society was founded in 1896 by Charles Sprague Smith. The purpose of the Society was to promote the understanding of literature and stimulate literary production through conferences, lectures, readings, discussion, and classes. This series does not comprise the complete records of the Comparative Literature Society. The general correspondence (alphabetically arranged) contains predominately incoming letters to Charles Sprague Smith in his capacity as Director of the Society and regards lecture schedules, participants, and topics. The series also contains an unbound scrapbook of fliers, applications for membership, and newspaper clippings. The scrapbook gives the most comprehensive overview of the Society.</p>"}
