This collection includes thousands of files previously maintained by the Alumni Association about individual graduates from the 20th Century. The contents of the files vary and range from simply housing an obituary to holding newsclippings, correspondence and other materials detailing a graduate's professional life. This often includes a ca. 1969 all alumni survey, class notes submissions and questionnaires targeted to specific graduating classes or campus organizations. At present time there is no master list of files, but they may be accessed by archives staff. Please contact the department with any questions.

This series contains materials related to the presidency of Evan Revere Collins, who held the position from 1949-1969. The origin of these materials trace to both Evan Collins himself, as well as the Presidential office from this time. These cover the important changes occurring on the campus at this time, including expansion of the downtown dormitories at Alumni Quadrangle, as well as the construction of the Uptown Campus, and the change of the New York State College for Teachers, into a University Center. Specific materials in the series include reports from individual departments, correspondence with staff and contractors, and annual reports form Collins, as well as those sent to the office of the president such as the Milne School annual report. There are some materials that date to after Collins presidency, and were most likely part of the records keeping of the Office of the President after the move to the uptown campus.

Prior to 1941, the "Crimson and White" had multiple forms. The June editions acted at the school yearbook, while other editions served as newsletters, literary periodicals, or other pamphlets.

The files for each year provide an in-depth look at the players and their schedules. Files may contain rosters, statistics, schedules, results, game notes, player highs and lows, box scores, team histories, tournament information, charts, media and press, articles, travel itineraries, contact information, forms, emails, event notices, contracts, correspondence with Sports Information Director Brian DePasquale and more.
