Assistant to the President
Records, 1954 - 1985
The Washington State University Libraries received the records of the Office of the Assistant to the President in 1986 (accession number UA86-09), when the records were transferred by the Office of the President. The records were arranged and described by Lawrence Stark in fall, 1992.
ORGANIZATIONAL HISTORY
The Office of Assistant to the President operated from 1969
to 1985. The office was created by President Glenn Terrell, and
filled by Dennis Morrison, who had functioned in a somewhat similar
capacity when employed in the WSU News Service. Morrison held
this position until his retirement in 1985, after which the office
was discontinued. The office consisted of Morrison and one clerical
employee.
The functions of the Assistant to the President were largely concerned
with public relations, legislative and political liaison, fundraising,
and intra-university communications.
ARRANGEMENT AND DESCRIPTION
Records of the Assistant to the President consist chiefly of
subject files of correspondence and memoranda. They are arranged
in several series of alphabetically ordered subject files. This
arrangement follows the original order, but is changed to the
degree that a quantity of unfiled material was incorporated into
the same arrangement, and a number of folders were moved from
scattered locations into proximity with others if the same logical
series. Folder headings were supplied to a number of unlabeled
folders.
Nine series are formed in this arrangement. The first, General
Administration, deals with a wide variety of matters within the
university. A Legislative and Political series is explained by
it name. The Public Support and Salary Campaign deals with forming
citizen groups for public and political support of university
proposals; a large portion of these records deals with the Committee
of 1000 of 1974, which conducted a campaign for salary increases
at the state-supported colleges and universities.
A series called Glenn Terrell consists chiefly of speeches written
by or for President Terrell. A Fundraising series concerns the
early years of the WSU Foundation and the use of charitable remainder
trusts or annuities in fundraising. The series titled University
Publicity deals with dedications, public forums and similar events,
and university involvement in Spokane's Expo 74.
A series called Student Concerns and Unrest deals largely with
student activism in the years 1968-1970, and reflects Morrison's
role as a university official with a direct assignment to deal
with these matters. An eighth series, Correspondence, is a chronological
file of letters sent by Morrison, retained without change in the
original filing.
The records also include certain files associated with the Pullman
School District, of which Morrison was a Director. Records concerning
his involvement in the Washington State School Directors Association
are also included. These are arranged as another series of records.
