Extent:
18.4 cubic ft.
Scope and content:

This series is made up of materials from the first incarnation of the College of Arts and Sciences (CAS), before its split into the College of Fine Arts and Humanities, College of Social and Behavioral Sciences and College of Science and Mathematics. During the period covered by this series, the functions of those colleges were administered by Divisions along similar organizational lines. This series contains some materials that both predate the organization of CAS as well as other materials from after it was subdivided. The bulk of the materials however focus on the college’s administration and the various committees that the College of Arts and Sciences Deans L. Gray Cowan and Charles Colman served on during the 1960s and 1970s.

Series includes divisional and departmental annual reports, correspondence, graduate and undergraduate program reviews, degree and course proposals, memoranda, enrollment data, course listings, committee memberships lists and meeting minutes and budget materials.

Arrangement:
Series was maintained in the original order after it was transferred.
