Collection Scope and Content Summary

The President’s Reports—first published in 1952, and continuing through the present—include an overview of recent and planned developments at the College, as well as summaries of problems and proposals—essentially a “State of the College” address. Each report also includes a list of faculty and administrative promotions, appointments, and obituaries; student body demographics; a list of faculty research fellowships, grants, awards, and publications; a list of donations to the College; and a balance sheet of current income, expenditures, liabilities, and other financial data. The Dean’s Reports—which were published from 1898 through 1952—contained the same information.
