Part of a collection of Berg’s older correspondence contributed to the Archives by Steve Baldwin. The bulk of this correspondence is related to Berg’s time at the Idaho School for the Deaf, particularly 1955-1956. During this period he and some other deaf teachers came into conflict with the school superintendent, Dr. Burton Driggs, over incidents including the alleged beating of a student by a matron. The controversy reached the local newspapers (clippings are included in this series), and provoked a state investigation of the school; the evaluators’ report is also included here. As a result of this, Berg lost his position at the Idaho School in 1956 and relocated to Gallaudet.
