2. Speeches. 1942-1987, undated.
The active role that Harris assumed in many professional organizations - especially the American Chemical Society, which he led for five years as Chairman of the Board of Directors - presented numerous occasions for Harris to utilize his excellent public speaking skills. The many speech manuscripts, typescripts and notes contained in this series, as well as the large collection of jokes, anecdotes and ephemera that he used in preparing his talks, are a testament to breadth of Harris's career as a public figure.
