Summary
Thomas E. Dewey's governorship blended fiscal conservatism with a personal conviction that government bore a share of the responsibility for the welfare of the citizenry. During his tenure, New York's state university system was established and construction of the New York State Thruway was begun. These records also document post-war economic readjustment, sponsorship of social legislation, including the landmark 1945 "Law against Discrimination," and investigations of conditions in mental hospitals, including management and affairs of Creedmoor State Hospital.
