Abstract
Before becoming president of Indiana
University, Herman B Wells served as an assistant cashier at the National Bank of
Lebanon before going on to work for the Indiana Bankers Association, the Indiana
Commission for Financial Institutions, and the Indiana Department of Financial
Institutions. He was named dean of the Indiana University School of Business
administration in 1935 by IU President William Lowe Bryan. In 1937 he was named acting
president of the university and president the following year, a position he held until
1962. Upon his retirement, IU created the position of University Chancellor, which Dr.
Wells held until his death in 2000. This collection consists of Wells’ personal papers
and includes papers pertaining to his family and personal finances, his activities in
the banking profession, his work in Germany for the United States government after World
War II, and to his research and teaching and professional activities as a member of the
faculty of Indiana University.

and to family history. The subseries on Wells’ parents, Granville Wells and Anna Bernice
Wells, includes personal and biographical records for each, as well as records relating

records series are arranged alphabetically.
The third series, Affiliations and professional organizations, spans the period from
1927 to 2000 and includes records on

Awards, the fourth series, spans the period from 1922 to 1999, and consists of records documenting the various
awards Wells received before, during, and after his tenure as president of Indiana
University. The series is subdivided into two subseries: plaques and oversized items,
and certificates or other paper records related to awards. The first box of plaques is a
normal record center box, but the rest of the plaques and oversized items are stored in
flat boxes. The letter-sized certificates and other paper records are stored in a
records center box at the end of the series. Wells received a variety of different
awards including: Honorary Citizenship to New Orleans, honorary membership into several
fraternal organizations, and distinguished services awards from organizations such as
the Indiana Optometric Association. Prominent items in this series include several
honorary degrees which Wells received from various universities and colleges, including
Butler University, University of Louisville, Earlham College, and Indiana State College
(now Indiana State University), as well as several awards from different departments or
organizations at Indiana University, such as the School of Business. This series is
arranged alphabetically within each box, but awards from the same organization may not
all be stored together due to size and preservation concerns.
The fifth series, Biographical records and personal documents, spans the period from
1934 to 2000, and includes
biographical statements or articles about Wells and various other personal documents
such as his driver’s license, passport, and will. Several versions and drafts of Wells’
will are present, with the most recent being from 1997. The
Emergency Call List is a file of documents distributed among Wells’ staff and the
administration of the University, detailing procedures in case of emergency involving
Wells’ health. This series is arranged alphabetically.
Education and schoolwork, spanning the period from 1906 to 1927, is the sixth series in this collection. This
series consists of records related to Wells’ education from the time he was a schoolboy
in the early 20th century to his days in college at Indiana University. Included in this
series are a “Universal Primer” booklet that was possibly used by Wells as a schoolboy
to learn how to read and write; a copy of Wells’ senior yearbook from Lebanon (Ind.)

"Service Charges for Small or So-Called Country Banks"
;

which are stored separately in the Archives’ oversized collection. Please ask Archives
staff for more details. This series is arranged alphabetically.
The seventh series, Financial matters, spans the period from 1906 to 2001, and is further sub-divided into five
sub-series: General, Bills and receipts, Contributions and gifts, Insurance, and
Investments. The General subseries consists mostly of personal financial records and
bank statements, as well as several files related to income taxes and tax returns. Bills
and receipts were created primarily during Wells’ later years and include copies of
bills and receipts for various purchases, from candy and meat to gasoline and furniture.
The final two subseries include records related to Wells’ investments in life and health
insurance, and in various stock ventures. This series is arranged alphabetically.

art, antique collections, farm real estate, and the different houses he owned and lived
in throughout Bloomington and the surrounding area, including the Woodburn House, Wells
House on Tenth Street, at the Meadowood retirement community, and for a house on Second

the Board. This subseries contains correspondence, minutes of Directors meetings and

conferences, including American Bankers Association, Federal Reserve System, and a
conference in Washington on Bank Statement Standardization. This subseries is arranged

administrative assistant Dorothy Collins and researchers John L. Haste and David
Warriner. This subseries is arranged into the following categories: 1) Planning; 2)

subseries is arranged alphabetically by title or subject. The speeches subseries
consists of notes, outlines, and drafts for speeches Wells gave from 1933 to 1984 during the years when he was

see Collection C137). Many of these speeches are related to the banking industry. Also
included are speeches on the State of the University while Wells served as Interim
President in 1968, the dedication of the Elisabeth Ball room
at the Lilly Library, and the eulogy given at the funeral of former IU President William
Lowe Bryan in 1955. This subseries is arranged
chronologically.
The twelfth series, German Assignment, consists of records created by Wells in late
1947 during his six-month leave of absence as President of
IU to serve as Director of the Education and Cultural Relations Division of the Office
of Military Government for Germany, U.S. (OMGUS). During this time he also served as
General Lucius D. Clay's cultural affairs advisor. The series includes writings and
reports, a diary, and subject files, but consists primarily of correspondence with
Indiana University, fellow OMGUS personnel, and individuals seeking help immigrating or
with locating displaced persons. The series is divided into three subseries:
Correspondence, Writings and reports, and Subject files. Correspondence constitutes the
largest subseries and spans the period from 1947 to 1950. It is arranged alphabetically by surname. Significant
correspondents include: William Lowe Bryan, General Lucius D. Clay, Peter A. Fraenkel,
J.A. Franklin, Alonzo G. Grace, Walter Greenough, George B. McKibbin, Edward H.
Litchfield, Secretary of War Robert P. Patterson, Fenwick T. Reed, Catherine Royer, and
Wells’ mother, Anna Bernice Wells. The correspondence in this subseries was sometimes
cross-referenced by President Wells’ secretary, with references pointing the user to
letters housed in subject files or under another name as well as to letters in Wells’
Presidential records (Collection C213). References that direct users to items housed
outside the collection are identified in the container list. The second subseries,
writings and reports, spans the years from 1947 to 1948 and is arranged chronologically, but many of the items are
undated. It includes a directive on constitutional reform in German institutions of
higher learning, a memorandum regarding the Cultural Affairs Program, a report on Wells’
trip to Washington, and Max Rheinstein’s report on the U.S. education mission to
Germany. Subject files span the years from 1947 to 1952 and are arranged alphabetically by folder title. Subjects or
types of material include: applications for employment, President Wells’ arrest by
Russian troops in East Berlin, newspaper clippings, Wells’ diary from his first trip to
Germany, German cultural exchanges and re-education, places to visit, and requests to
help persons enter the U.S.
The final series, Audiovisual materials, spans from the period from 1946 to 1998 and consists Wells' home movies from the 1940s and 1950s, as well as a small
number of recordings from the 1980s and 1990s related to Herman B Wells. The home movies captured by Wells cover his travels
