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.
