This is an alphabetical letter series of the General Reference collection. The General Reference Collection was created by archivists to hold information on campus history that is not part of any organic record group. The collection contains material from a variety of outside sources, excepts from newspapers and other publications, press releases and promotional materials, and loose university records.

The Student Association gained the permission of the Administration to publish surveys of courses and teachers which are available to the students so that they could make more informed decisions in choosing their courses. The collection is incomplete, and while the faculty evaluations from the 1970's appear to be comprehensive, those from the 1980's and 1990's only publish ratings of a few courses where the faculty has given permission to publish.

This series is divided into two subseries, one containing curricula of workshops and the other information about registrants. Please note that Series 2 of this collection also includes a general administrative file on continuing education and one on tranferring the continuing education program to Russell Sage College in 1979 upon closure of the School of Nursing.
