Provenance

The papers of Arthur Oncken Lovejoy were a bequest to the University and were received in 1963.

Biographical Note

Arthur Oncken Lovejoy was born in Berlin, October 10. 1873, the son of Wallace William Lovejoy, A
Boston medical student studying in Germany, and Sara Oncken Lovejoy, his German wife. They
family returned to Boston in 1875, but Sara Lovejoy died shortly thereafter. Wallace Lovejoy married
Emmeline Dutton in 1881 after leaving the practice of medicine to assume a ministry in the Episcopal
church.

Arthur Lovejoy received his early education in schools in Ohio, Pennsylvania, and New Jersey.
Following his graduation from the Germantown, Pennsylvania Academy in 1891, the family moved to
Oakland, California. Lovejoy entered the University of California at Berkeley in 1891, his course of
study emphasizing the humanities and languages. Under the influence of the philosopher George
Holmes Howison, Lovejoy's prime interest changed from religion to philosophy. He graduated in
1895 and entered Harvard where he studied under Josiah Royce and William James. He received
the M.A. in 1897 and studied at the Sorbonne, 1898-1899.

Lovejoy's career as a teacher of philosophy began at Stanford University in 1899. In 1901, he


resigned in protest at the dismissal of the economist and sociologist, E. A. Ross, and he was
afterwards a champion of academic freedom to university and college faculties. Lovejoy held
teaching postions at Washington University (1901-1907), Columbia (1907-1908), and the University
of Missouri (1908-1910) before coming to The Johns Hopkins University in 1910. He remained at
Hopkins until his retirement in 1938.

During the early part of the century, Lovejoy published widely on a number of subjects: the history of
2

religion, the history of philosophy, on pragmatism and realism, and on social and political questions.
His concern for academic freedom led him in 1913 toward the establishment of an organization which
culminated in the formation of the American Association of University Professors in 1915.

During World War I, he was active in the National Security League and the YMCA. After the war,
Lovejoy turned his attention to scholarship, particularly in philosophy and the history of ideas. His
1933 William James Lectures at Harvard were published in 1936 as The Great Chain of Being. He
retired from Hopkins in 1938to devote himself to his research. He then became involved in the
planning of The Journal of the History of Ideas which began publication in 1940. During World War
!! Lovejoy was active politically and socially, serving as administrator, editor and writer for the
Historical Service Board of the American Historical Association and for the Universities Committee on
Post-War International Problems. He was a member of the American Committee for Cultural
Freedom with a view to countering the Communist threat. He served as a member of the University
of Maryland Board of Regents from 1951-1955. He also continued his scholarly work. Gradually his
health declined and his eyesight failed completely. Arthur O. Lovejoy never married. He died in
Baltimore on December 30, 1962.

Scope and Content Note

The papers of Arthur O. Lovejoy span the years 1872 to 1963 and include correspondence,
manuscript notes for lectures, notebooks, diaries, newspaper clippings, reports, speeches,
photographs, drafts, typescripts, galley proofs, and books owned and annotated by Lovejoy.

Since 1963, when the papers were received by the University, the collection has been reviewed,
indexed, and arranged at various times. In 1963, Marjorie Nicolson, an associate of Professor
Lovejoy during 1923-26, examined the papers at the request of Hopkins professor, George Boas.
She arranged some material into envelopes and noted the contents of each envelope on the outside,
and that categorization has not been changed. Miss Nicolson found that the three main subjects of
the papers were Nature, Primitivism, and Romanticism, and that much of Lovejoy's research had
formed the basis of his many published articles. Miss Nicolson also observed that Lovejoy may have
been planning a book or series of articles on "The Romantic Theory of Knowledge," since some
3

material deals with that topic.

During 1974-1975, Daniel J. Wilson prepared a detailed index of the collection. He listed the subject
or title of each item in the collection. A complete index to the large amount of correspondence was
also prepared. In 1979, the papers were filed into different document boxes, but the original order
that corresponds with Wilson's index was retained. In 1993, a container list was prepared to
correctly list the material and the box numbers. The papers are now arranged by series since the
latest revision was intended to follow Wilson's useful and complete index. In a general sense, the
papers are arranged in the following order: lecture notes, diaries and notebooks, writings, biographical
material, photographs, and correspondence.

In 2005, an envelope of five French manuscripts, previously omitted from the container list, was
found in the collection. A note on the envelope suggests Lovejoy purchased the humorous dialogues
and poems in book stalls along the Seine. The manuscripts were placed in Box 66 under
APurchased MSS.@

The largest part of the collection filed in Boxes 1 to 59 contains Lovejoy's notes on notable
philosophers including Emerson, Locke, Nietzche, and Santayana and his classroom lectures on the
many topics of Philosophy including Realism, Vitalism, Evolution, and Meaning. Correspondence,
filed in Boxes 72 to 84 forms another large segment of the collection. Some biographical material
and family photographs are filed in Boxes 67-69 as well as Lovejoy's reports and papers dealing
with academic freedom and post-war (World War II) problems.

For an analysis of the collection, see Marjorie Nicolson's letter, October 1963 in the Provenance File.

Lovejoy's published writings are described in:
