  • Theodore W. Koch Papers

    Northwestern University Archives · Evanston, Illinois Theodore Wesley Koch (1871-1941) Papers, 1894-1980 Series 9/1/6 Boxes 1-4 (including one card-file box) Biography Theodore Wesley Koch (pronounced “coke”) was Northwestern University’s librarian from 1919 until his death in 1941. During that time he presided over the planning and construction of the Charles Deering Library and fought to keep the library strong during the Great Depression. Koch was born in Philadelphia on August 4, 1871 to a Pennsylvania Dutch family. His father, William Jefferson Koch was a grain broker. Koch grew up in Philadelphia and studied at Central High School there. He earned his A.B. from the University of Pennsylvania in 1892 and then a second A.B. and a masters degree in Romance languages from Harvard in 1894. Koch had a great facility for language and studied French, Italian, Spanish, German, Greek, Latin, and Sanskrit. After Harvard he spent five years at the Cornell University Library in Ithaca, New York preparing an annotated catalog of Cornell’s extensive Dante collection. When he completed the Dante bibliography, Koch studied for two years at the Collège de France at the University of Paris. He returned to the United States in 1902 as an assistant in the Catalog Division of the Library of Congress. Two years later, in 1904, the University of Michigan hired Koch as an assistant librarian. Michigan’s head librarian, Raymond C. David, retired in 1905, clearing the way for Koch to take his place at the age of 34. He spent the next decade in Ann Arbor, marrying Gertrude Priscilla Humphrey, the librarian of the Lansing Public Library, in 1907.
