Admissions Office
Records, 1940-1980

The records of the Admissions Office were transferred to the University Archives, Washington State University Libraries, by the Admissions Office in accordance with the approve records schedule in August 1982 (UA 82-21). The records were processed by Barbara Kovarik Gahl in June 1983.

ARRANGEMENT AND DESCRIPTION

The records of the Admissions Office have been arranged in a single series, Alphabetical Subject File, 1940-1980. In order to retain as much of the original filing system as possible, the series has been divided into four subseries (the original Office of Admissions groupings) under headings created by the processor: Committees, 1948-1956; Conferences, 1962-1972; Education, 1940-1980; and Junior and Community Colleges, 1954-1977. The folders within each subseries have been placed in alphabetical order by subject.

Committees, 1948-1956, includes the records of the Coordinating Committee on Academic Relations, although other records on junior college policy and state coordination are included. Correspondence, memos, and reports make up the bulk of the material.

Conferences, 1962-1972, contains records from conferences of junior and community college personnel and faculty on the WSU campus on a wide variety of academic/professional subjects. Evaluations from participants make up the bulk of the subseries; other materials include correspondence, reports, memos, flyers.

The subseries Education, 1940-1980, consists of correspondence, studies, projects and statistics concerning all facets of education. A newsletter is also included.

Junior and Community Colleges, 1954-1977, consists of reports, studies, workshop information, minutes, flyer materials, and correspondence.
