This series includes agendas, minutes, annual reports, reports to the Senate, bills and resolutions, and correspondence. This series also includes the records of the Interfaith Committee and the International Students Committee. The Council's concerns are to develop policies necessary to establish and maintain extracurricular programs and to make recommendations concerning University policy affecting student activities in these programs ( Faculty Handbook , 1984, p. 23). The Student Affairs council has dealt with the issues of campus relations, university communications (1971), alumni affairs, alcohol policy, student conduct, inspection of student housing (1973), policy regarding student records, campus ambulance service (1972-1973), and the SUNYA judicial system (1972-80). The Student Affairs Council was the successor to the Student Personnel Council, a college council independent of the Faculty Council ( Faculty Handbook , 1962, p. 20).

This series includes agendas, minutes, annual reports, bills and legislation, correspondence, and reports to the Senate of the University Community Council. The council oversees university-wide matters, non-academic in nature, including external communications, operation of the University Auxiliary Service, and such policies affecting public safety, transportation, parking, etc. ( Faculty Handbook , 1984, p. 24). The predecessor to the University Community Council was the Committee on Community Liaison of the Faculty Council ( Faculty Handbook , 1962, p. 16).

A large portion of the pamphlets date from the 1920s.

This subseries includes reports and publications by Schaefer, his colleagues at the ASRC, and colleagues from other institutions who worked closely with Schaefer and occasionally collaborated with the ASRC. Names from the latter group will sound familiar from Schaefer's consulting materials, such as Wendell Mordy and Paul MacCready. Topics range from annual ASRC reports, to solar energy work, to particle studies and more. Some documents are official reprints of articles while others are handwritten manuscripts or typescripts.

These pamphlets deal predominately with conditions in post-war Germany and problems of refugees displaced during and immediately following World War II.

In addition to traditional photos, the photographs subseries also contains negatives and photo slides. Topics include the environment, chemistry, electrostatics, ice and snow, and world travel. While some of the images in this subseries are directly related to Schaefer's professional work, others are likely derived from extracurricular activities he engaged in while taking photographs for business purposes. Schaefer never did like to let an opportunity go by to explore things that were of interest to him. Some topics, like the Yellowstone Field Expedition, exist as their own subseries elsewhere. In the interests of preserving original order, however, those images were not pulled from this subseries.

Located in Rensselaerville, New York, the widow and heirs of local businessman E.N. Huyck established the Edmund Niles Preserve and Biological Research Station in his memory in 1931. This non-profit organization remains dedicated to preservation, education and research and to offering visitors a tranquil setting.

In late 1974 Vincent Schaefer began conducting air quality studies in the Shawangunk Moutains of New York, located 90 miles north of New York City, as part of his research at the Atmospheric Sciences Research Center. This was his first visit to the Mohonk Preserve, then known as The Mohonk Trust.
