Msgr. Joseph Turk Papers
Msgr. Joseph Turk (1895-1951) was born in Verdun, France. Msgr. Turk studied
at Universities in Innsbruck, Vienna, Munich, and at the Yugoslav Seminary in
Rome. He published two books: the Ways and Goals of the Scholastics in
Slovenian and Cistercian Statuta Antiquissima in Latin. Msgr. Turk spent
a brief time as the Dean of Faculty at the University of Ljubliana and taught
two years at St. Mary's College in California.
Included in this collection are newspaper clippings from California papers
concerning Tito and the governmental upheaval in Yugoslavia, personal documents
and correspondence, and canceled postage stamps from Spain, Italy, Switzerland,
and Germany from the 1940's and early 1950's. Brother L. Dennis at Saint Mary's
College in California donated the collection to Western Michigan University for
research purposes concerning the Statuta.
