Scope and Content

From the Collection:

The materials comprising this collection document a lifetime devoted to intensive research in preparation for the numerous books and articles written by Dr. Benson, as well as the lectures he presented and the hymn books he compiled and edited. The books he authored, among them The English Hymn and Studies of Familiar Hymns, are considered valuable contributions to hymnological literature. His unerring judgment and impeccable literary taste are evidenced by the materials he gathered in pursuance of the subject of his life's work. This collection includes manuscripts of hymns and verses he composed and voluminous notes generated in preparation for courses of lectures delivered at Princeton Theological Seminary under the L.P. Stone Foundation in 1907.
