Biographical NoteLeo Francis Stock was born in 1878 in Gettysburg, Pennsylvania. He attended Mount St. Mary's Seminary in Emmittsburg, Maryland, where he earned his A.B. degree in 1896. He taught at Pittsburgh College, now Duquesne University, and McGill Institute in Moblie, Alabama. In World War I he was Recorder for the National Board of Historical Service. In 1910, Stock joined the Historical Research Division of the Carnegie Institution in Washington and remained as part of the staff until he retired in 1945. Stock received his Ph.D at The Catholic University of America (CUA) in 1920, where he became an instructor and associate professor of American History. He taught at CUA from 1919 to 1941 when he resigned in protest to a cut in his salary. He also taught at Trinity College in D.C. until 1949. Stock also served as president of the American Catholic Historical Society in 1928. He wrote and edited numerous works on American History and served as an editor and contributor to the Catholic Historical Review from 1921 to 1939. He received the Benemerenti Medal from Pope Pius XII for meritorious service in the field of letters. He died on March 8, 1954, at Georgetown Hospital, and was survived by his wife, Agnes, four daughters, and three sons. Return to the Table of Contents Scope and ContentsThe Stock Papers contain the personal and professional papers of Dr. Leo Stock including his correspondence, addresses and speeches, academic notes and lectures, articles and reviews, the John Franklin Jameson Pictorial Scrapbook of Historians, newspaper clippings, and student papers. The first series contains primarily his correspondence, divided into two parts. The first is chronological, covering 1901-1951, and undated. The second is by subject, and spans 1896-1952, and undated. The focus is on organizations such as the American Catholic Historical Assocation (ACHA) and American Historical Association (AHA) in which he had membership as well as institutions he worked for or was otherwise affiliated with like the Carnegie Institution of Washington or Mount Saint Mary's College in Emmittsburg, Maryland. The second series has his numerous addresses and speeches, both handwritten and in typescript, and organized chronologically, 1896-1949, and undated. The third series, which is the largest, consists primarily of mostly undated academic notes and lectures about American and American Catholic history. There is also a folder of examinations dated 1923-1941. The materials are a mix of handwritten, typescript, and printed formats ranging from 4" x 6" and 5.5" x 8" cards to traditional 'blue books,' as well as normal letter sized items. The fourth series has his articles and reviews, 1913-1952, and undated, filed chronologically. These include original and photocopies of tear sheets as well as published versions. The fifth series is an undated scrapbook of photographs and clippings of noted historians compiled by John Franklin Jameson, who died in 1937, and donated to CUA by Stock (who is one of those pictured) in 1941. The sixth series is a brief collection of miscellaneous clippings, mostly about American Catholic history, but also some from Stock's hometown of Gettysburg, Pennsylvania. The material is filed chronologically. The seventh series contains miscellaneous printed material, such as newspapers and newsletters, from various places associated with Stock. These include the Carnegie Institution of Washington, Mount Saint Mary's in Emmittsburg, and the D.C. Knights of Columbus. The eighth series is made up of numerous research papers from his students at Catholic University, including one by Dr. John K. Zeender who became a CUA professor himself several years later. Many of the papers are undated but the date range is about 1931 to 1941.
