Subseries 18 is housed in 16 boxes, numbers 54 through 69. It contains William Cooper’s professional correspondence. Important topics include the history of Carnegie Mellon University (CMU), the Tennessee Valley Authority (TVA), the Accounting Hall of Fame, and the Government Accountability Office (GAO). The series contains letters from Abraham Charnes, Richard M. Cyert, Herbert A. Simon, Yuji Ijiri, Eric L. Kohler, George Leland Bach, and George Kozmetsky. Because Cooper maintained his relationships with former students and colleagues, many of the letters in this series served as letters of recommendation and/or provided research or publication advice. In addition, many of the files contain published and unpublished papers, drafts, vitas, and general biographical information about each individual. File folder titles contain the recipients' names and associated institutions.
