The first 318 cubic feet of correspondence and other records dating from 1890 to 1971 were filed under general alphabetical headings. Each letter of the alphabet is divided into chronological groups. For example, files labeled A-Az for 1930-1931 are followed by the A-Az files for 1931-1932 and so on. This sub-series contains the same types of materials relating to the same categories of subject as the rest of Central Files. It appears as though records were filed under general alphabetical headings when only a small amount of correspondence was received or when the subject of the correspondence was not considered to be important at the time. In spite of this, sub-series I.1 contains many substantial records as well as materials from significant persons and should not be overlooked by researchers.

Subseries consisting of records to, from, or about a person filed under the person's name. This is the only portion of Central Files that contains detailed descriptions of the contents of files. If a desired personal name does not appear in this sub-series, or if the name is found but the time period of interest falls outside the date range given for the folder, it may still be possible to find relevant materials in Series I.1 General Alphabetical, through the use of the Central Files card index, or by confining the search to a very specific date range.

Subseries consisting of records to, from, or about a corporation filed under the corporation's name. If a desired corporate name does not appear in this sub-series, or if the name is found but the time period of interest falls outside the date range given for the folder, it may still be possible to find relevant materials in Series I.1 General Alphabetical, through the use of the Central Files card index, or by confining the search to a very specific date range.

Subseries I.1 consists primarily of the general correspondence of the Dean and materials related to Columbia College students during the late 19th and early 20th centuries and covers the period encompassing 1910 through 1923. Three deanships are represented in this subseries. John Henry Van Amringe (CC, 1860; 1st Dean, 1894-1910), Frederick P. Keppel (CC, 1899; 2nd Dean, 1910-1917); and Herbert E. Hawkes (Acting Dean, 1917, 3rd Dean, 1918-1942).

Subseries I.2 encompasses the chronologically arranged correspondence of the Dean from 1926 through 1989. This subseries consists of a variety of materials. To illustrate, included in this subseries are some papers of Frank D. Fackenthal, who served as secretary (1910-1937), provost (1937-1948) and acting president of the University (1945-1948). A review of Fackenthal's incoming and outgoing correspondence provides insights into his role in Columbia College's administration. A statement created by Columbia College on the occasion of Fackenthal's death is also contained this subseries. The subseries comprises, in turn, the speeches, articles and related correspondence about the topic of male college students written by Nicholas M. McKnight, who served as associate dean (1931-1943) and dean (1943-1957). Along with the correspondence in subseries I.1, the letters of Herbert E. Hawkes (Acting Dean, 1917, 3rd Dean, 1918-1942) cover the period (1928-1943) and consist primarily of incoming and outgoing messages between Hawkes and other faculty members on the topics of student organizations, student life and student requests. Additional papers in this subseries cover Gen. Dwight D. Eisenhower's tenure as President of the University (1948-1953). The Eisenhower correspondence reveals the fact that the general's interaction with Columbia College administrators and students was limited because of his outside commitments. Included also in this subseries is a copy of a speech Eisenhower delivered to incoming freshmen in December 1950.

Subseries III.1 Committee on Instruction (COI), 1908-2022, bulk dates: 1930-1979 is arranged overall in alphabetical order in (3) broad subject groupings: (1) Budgets (1960-1988), (2) Curriculum Review (1975-1989) and (3) Meeting Minutes (1908-1931, 1974-1976; 1979-1988). Under these three comprehensive categories, the folders within the series are organized overall in chronological order. Please note that additional Committee on Instruction (COI) materials are located in Series I and Series IV. Note that there are no COI minutes for 1996-1997 or 2002-2003.

Organized chronologically, this subseries consists of event fliers, income statements, inventories, receipts, ticket sale reports, and handwritten memos for the gay dances organized by the Student Homophile League (SHL), Gay People at Columbia-Barnard (GPCB), and Columbia Gay and Lesbian Alliance (CGLA) in the 1970s and 1980s. The earliest material dates to 1970, when the organization was still known as the Student Homophile League. These dances were well known throughout New York City's gay community and were attended by non-students as well as Columbia students. The final folder in the subseries consists of a blank copy of a 1986 questionnaire in which dance attendees are asked to provide personal information, evaluate their experiences of the dances and suggest improvements.

This subseries consists of materials pertaining to educational programming and research initiatives completed by Gay People at Columbia-Barnard (GPCB) and Columbia Gay and Lesbian Alliance (CGLA). The subseries is organized by educational event type, with folder contents organized chronologically. The first files consist of fliers, handouts, syllabi and readings for discussion groups organized by GPCB and CGLA, specifically consciousness raising groups in the 1970s and study groups in the 1980s. Some of the readings are annotated. Following the discussion group materials are memos, fliers, discussion plans, and reports for GPCB's "floor raps," in which GPCB members would lead an information session about homosexuality to residents of a dormitory floor. The memos consist of internal communications reflecting on the success of particular events as well as communications with residence staff. The following files consist of two 1973 and 1974 research initiatives, two separate blank surveys and subsequent reports about sexual experience and gay life at Columbia University. The series concludes with fliers for miscellaneous educational panels, including completed questionnaires for panels on "Coming Out" and "Gays in Business," as well as collected lecture notes, syllabi, and a proposed essay prize pertaining to gay studies at the university.

This subseries consists of materials pertaining to social activities organized by Gay People at Columbia-Barnard (GPCB) and Columbia Gay and Lesbian Alliance (CGLA), divided into three categories: the gay lounge, film screenings, and miscellaneous social activities. The subseries largely consists of internal memos, correspondence, clippings, and press statements pertaining to GPCB's nationally reported struggle to achieve official administrative recognition for the gay lounge, ca. 1971-1973. This collection of materials includes communications with university deans and trustees as well as minutes from a meeting of the Board of Trustees in which GPCB member Morty Manford asked the board for assistance in receiving administrative recognition. The subseries also includes correspondence and fliers related to film screenings either organized by or receiving support from GPCB, including a handout for a post-film discussion of Boys in the Band (1970), a drama about a group of gay friends in New York City controversial for its arguable reproduction of harmful stereotypes. Invited to participate in the screening by its organizers, GPCB planned a discussion that aimed to foster a more critical take on a film the group wouldn't have personally chosen to screen due to ideological reservations. The end of the subseries consists of promotional fliers for miscellaneous social events organized by the GPCB as well as a folder of undated photos labeled "Author's Night at Lounge."

This subseries contains medal related to student activities on campus such as the Peithologian and Philolexian Debate Societies, fraternities, and others.

This subseries contains medals awarded as academic prizes to students from 1833 to 1845. The medals are organized by recipient's last name. The subject area for the award is sometimes translated from the Latin; for others, the abbreviated Latin subject is rendered as it appears on the medal.

The general correspondence is arranged in alphabetical order and contains primarily correspondence sent and received by the university librarians, along with other library staff. Individually named and general alphabetical files are arranged in one alphabetical sequence by correspondent name or subject heading and chronologically within each letter of the alphabet by year. Notable subjects in this subseries include correspondence on budgets, library statistics, collections, and staff. Important subjects filed under sub-files are interspersed within the general alphabetical correspondence and are noted parenthetically.

It also contains some proposed syllabi from the 1960s and 1970s, and pilot syllabi sections from 1993-1994. From 1937 to 1950, C.C. syllabi folders also contain rosters, exams, and staff files and memos, separated with tabs. N.b.: until the 1960s, C.C. was a four-semester sequence.

This subseries contains C.C. exams and assignments. Materials are arranged by exam type (mid-term, final, conflict final, etc.) and alphabetically by the surname of the professor. Instructors wrote their own exams, though the subseries also contains memos to staff on guidelines and suggested questions for some exams. N.b.: for reasons having to do with provenance, C.C. exams for 1937-1950 are included with syllabi and other materials in Subseries I.1.

This subseries contains teaching aids, bibliographies, and published papers. First in the arrangement are the general teaching aids addressing the entire course (Box 9 Folder 9). The next group's arrangement follows the course outline, beginning with bibliographies and teaching aids of the Greek period and continuing to the twentieth century (Box 9 Folder 10 to Box 10 Folders 5). The last record group is associated with women, politics of sexuality and family, and racism (Box 10 Folders 6-20). The women's issues documents begin with the research material and reports of the "Committee on the Women's Question" for Contemporary Civilization and is followed by materials arranged according to the course syllabi.

In the alphabetical subseries, there is considerable correspondence with Kay Runge of the University of Heidelberg. The folders of "Alphabetical-Moszkowski, Steven A." and "Miscellaneous-John Wiley and Sons" contain correspondence regarding,Beta Decay, a book co-authored by Wu and Moszkowski and published by John Wiley Sons Publishers in 1965. Folder "Miscellaneous-Fan Mail" contains some requests for autographs and photos of Wu, but similar letters can be found throughout the chronological correspondence files as well. The folder of correspondence of Glenn R. Schleede contains a photograph from the White House of President Ford signing the bill to create the Office of Science and Technology Policy in 1976. Folder "Miscellaneous-Job Inquiries Declined" contains letters to and from Wu and other faculty in the Physics Department of Columbia University regarding teaching positions and are arranged alphabetically by surname of the person applying. Similar correspondence can be found throughout the chronological correspondence. The folder "Miscellaneous-Free Circulation of Scientists" focuses on the resolution of that name passed by the International Council of Scientific Unions regarding issues like the Soviet scientists who were being prevented from leaving the country. In a letter dated April 9, 1975, Wu declined an invitation from President McGill to serve on the Ad Hoc Committee of Columbia to study comparative salaries of men and women.

This subseries of additional correspondence was added to the existing Chronological and Alphabetical files. It is arranged alphabetically by description.

This series contains records related to research projects conducted by graduate students and faculty that were funded by the Columbia Council for Research in the Social Sciences (CRSS). These files are arranged by project number and title for ease of access. Correspondence includes that between Ruth Benedict and CRSS administrator Thomas Hayden on the dispersal of funds, progress reports, publications, and other research project issues. The files contain research proposals and subsequent progress reports. Material includes routine correspondence regarding expenditures, salaries, appointments and fieldwork arrangements. Research data is not significant in these records.

This series contains correspondence, reports and newspaper clippings documenting field schools and expeditions not funded by the CRSS. Material documenting a particular research project or expedition was removed from the general chronological "current expedition" file and labeled accordingly. The records document relations between the Anthropology Department and the Department of the Interior for both archeological and ethnographic field work.

Graduate research training in Ecological Anthropology, or "Human Ecology" was funded by the Research Training Grants branch of the National Institute of General Medical Sciences (NIGMS). The principal investigator was Prof. Andrew P. Vayda. The bulk of these files contain appointments, grant proposals, and fund applications.

This subseries includes the bulk of Jacoby's professional correspondence with publishers, manufacturers of astronomical instruments and colleagues. Communication with Carl Zeiss, an astronomical instrument maker in Germany, contains some photographs and technical drawings of telescopes and is predominantly in German. Jacoby's carbon copy responses are in English. Of additional interest is correspondence between Jacoby and the general public regarding inquiries and appointments to visit the observatory, and a folder of letters pertaining to the 1908 meeting of the Astronomical Society of America at Put-in-Bay, Ohio.

This subseries is arranged alphabetically according to Jacoby's personal letter file and contains both professional and personal correspondence with colleagues, friends and family members. Many carbon copies of Jacoby's original letters are included and of special interest is correspondence regarding Jacoby's involvement in an expedition to Cape Hope, South Africa to observe an eclipse in 1887.

This subseries consists of assorted correspondence, memoranda, minutes, reports, and so on, organized alphabetically by subject. These records, all contained in record carton 1, are far from comprehensive. Folders 1.1–1.3 contain documents related to research done under the auspices of the Atomic Energy Commission (circa 1948–1953). Folder 1.6 contains records of graduate student fellowships awarded (university-wide) in the mid 1950s. Folders 1.7–1.15 contain John R. Dunning's records of research operations at the Cyclotron Laboratory and within the Division of War Research (circa 1940–1949).

Folders 2.11–3.9 contain sample deficiency exams, finals, master's exams, and Ph.D. qualifying exams, some dating as early as the 1920s. The most extensive portion of this sub-series, however, is the course materials within folders 3.10–7.3. Organized principally by academic year and course offered, these records provide a comprehensive view of the Physics Department's course offerings roughly from the late 1930s through the late 1950's. For each course there are syllabi, quizzes, lab assignments, exams, and so on; often there are grade distributions, and in some cases lecture notes. Included are some apparently complete lecture sets, as for example: folder 6.14: Jack Steinberger's lectures on "Meson Physics" (1957); or folder 6.1: Steven Weinberg's lectures on "Advanced Quantum Mechanics" (1958).

Folders 7.4–7.52 consists of a wide variety of publications, contractor bids, correspondence, news releases and various other general office records dating from the late 1940s to the early 1970s. For the most part, these documents relate only relatively mundane office minutiae, such as the procurement of a "Glass Annealing Oven" (folder 7.18). Of greater interest, perhaps, are folders 7.26–28, which cover the distribution of the lab's research results to a long list of U.S. Military officials under the "Joint Services Electronics Program" (JSEP).

"Pink sheets" is the term used to describe the pink "List of Contestants or Performers and Substitutes." These sheets were completed for all athletic contests in which contestants or performers were to be absent from lectures or laboratories. They include date, venue, sport, final score and lists of players, non-players and managers, who were excused from class. There are no pink sheets for 1941-1942.

"Sports Binders" is the term used for the collected information about each intercollegiate athletic team, originally kept in binders and organized by season. This may include the season's record, event porgrams, press releases, stats, newspaper clippings and scoresheets for each contest. There is no Fall 1959 binder. For football, there is often a second "binder" of football game programs, both home and away. For additinal programs, see Subseries II.3: Programs.

This subseries contains football scoresheets from the 1980s to the 2000s and compiled team rosters and record books.

This subseries provides early documentation of anti-Vietnam War sentiment on Columbia University's campus including the official documentation of the Independent Committee on Vietnam as well as student responses to Columbia's class ranking and draft policies. Finally there are five spiral bound notebooks of handwritten notes taken before and during the student strikes.

A full chronology is followed by the materials of various student groups: the Strike Coordinating Committee, black students and students from Barnard College. Many of the student newsletters are addressed to Morris Grossner, a Columbia University student at the time and a leader in Columbia's chapter of the Students for a Democratic Society (SDS). These materials are followed by letters of support and various other responses of those involved in the strike, as well as plans for the restructuring of the University. Also included are submissions, addressing racism, black students and the labor movement, by Columbia University students to the magazineChina Featuresin Peking.

Subseries 1. Miscellaneous contains published materials, blank forms and other items.

Subseries 2. Subject Files were maintained as a group of informative material on various subjects directly or indirectly relating to the Committee's work. For example, the subject files have a folder of minutes of the University Committee on Rules of Conduct. These are records of another committee, but copies were kept by the JCDA for reference purposes. Of particular significance is the Deane and Connor Paper on Discipline written by Herbert A. Deane, vice provost for academic planning, and James E. Connor, assistant professor of government. The working paper evaluated the disciplinary system created by the University after the 1968 protests. The Students for a Restructured University (SRU) have a response to this paper in the subject files, as well. The 25 Man Rule documents part of the discussion and controversy over the rule. The rule revolved around the number of spectators allowed at tribunal hearings. The 25 Man Rule would allow a maximum of 25 spectators at any given hearing. For more information on the 25 Man Rule see Series I. Governance for minutes relating to the Rule. The folder of the "Temple Committee Reports" documents some of the work done by the Temple Committee, a Special Committee of the Trustees of Columbia University, established by the Trustees on May 1, 1968 in order to "study and recommend changes in the basic structure of the University." The Committee was named after its chairman Alan H. Temple.

Subseries 3. Chronological Files appear to have been created by the JCDA administrative assistant who compiled all of the important correspondence and documentation for a given time period and bound it together chronologically for reference use. Therefore, the material in the chronological files is mostly duplicate material found in other areas of the records.

This subseries contains the materials generated by the Alliance's projects concerning the built environment and infrastructure in Morningside Heights. Included are clippings and information on certain buildings and facilities of interest to the organization, as well as pamphlets and information about the issues involved with redevelopment, public housing, and slum clearance. The Alliance also kept extensive records on the condition of buildings in the neighborhood and the history of their ownership--block by block, house by house in most cases--and these are included here. Those buildings of interest that showed up in the City's court calendars for various complaints--usually unsafe or unsanitary conditions--were also heavily tracked, the documentation of which has been retained. Finally, records on the construction and finance of Morningside Gardens are found in this series as well.

This subseries is made up of records of the Alliance's work to increase services to the community in a variety of areas, but mostly in services and activities to be provided to neighborhood youth outside of schools. Appearing here are directories and inventories of neighborhood services, publications on existing city and state-wide services by both public and private enterprise, and publications and plans about how to increase offerings of community-service programs within the neighborhood. As part of this function the Alliance also tracked and recorded services and programs offered by the sponsoring institutions--such as continuing education offered at Columbia University for community members--and put together many services of its own--such as the Stone Gym Youth Center, several summer camps and activities, and several sports leagues. The records of these endeavors--including contracts, receipts, registrations, and publications--are found in this subseries.

This subseries contains mostly reports and their contributing materials generated by the Alliance to assist and influence the GRNP process. Publications which preceded the existence of the GNRP--such as materials on slum clearance and on Title I housing--have also been occasionally filed in this subseries, presumably as source material for the overall character and construction of the neighborhood. A large collection of news clippings on the plan have also been retained here. The GNRP was carried out through many different individual projects, which generated documentation for themselves--most of which can be found here. The Morningside Heights Core Area Study and its contributing materials have also been filed in this subseries.

This sub-series consists of the published admissions brochure as well as some of the original 8x10 color photographs used to illustrate the brochure.

These boxes contain binders of information and other materials (notes, correspondence, memos, reports, etc.) from the files in the Office of the Secretary. Materials were created during the tenure of Secretaries Betty Jemmott, Corinne Rieder, interim Secretary DiAnn K. Pierce and R. Keith Walton, but also contain materials that date from earlier administrations. They were received in March 2000, but were not given an accession number until November, 2001, and are housed in five record cartons. It also includes a record carton containing three binders of information concerning the Committee on Logo received in December 2001 (Acc.No. 2001-051).

These files were transferred to the University Archives from the Office of the Secretary at an unknown date, but presumably in the late 1990s. They consist of some alphabetical subject/correspondence files (e.g. appointment letters, emeritus designations, crank letters, South Africa, etc.) as well as general correspondence files from 1980-1995 (bulk 1986-1990) which were found loose and arranged chronologically by archives staff. The general correspondence files consist primarily of letters to and from Secretaries of the University Marion E. Jemmott and Corinne H. Rieder who would answer routine questions about University history, alumni attendance, professor appointments, use of the Seal and other similar topics. All folders are now acid-free, original folder titles were maintained if deemed appropriate and new folder titles were created as needed. Metal was not removed and some file contents may not be in exact chronological order.

This box of documents was located in a record carton with other materials in Low 408C, to which was appended a note in DH's handwriting. Accessioned as 2002-019 by M. Pettit 4/22/2002, foldered and shelved. The divided binder contained procedural information for the Secretary's use, as well as copies of intra-office correspondence on sensitive matters and a copy of a 1966 handwritten report on faculty attrition. The documents within each divided section of the binder have been left as found, but staples and paperclips were removed.

The nominee files contain nomination letters, curriculum vitae or resume, Who's Who entry and/or a biographical sketch created by the Committee, relevant press clippings and articles, and some evaluation of the candidate's qualifications. At the beginning of the search process, these nominee files were used extensively by Committee members for comparisons and to determine what other information was still needed. After the selection of the Faculty Consulting Committee, selected portions of the files deemed non-confidential for their purposes were made available to them. The files of those candidates being most seriously considered by the Committee were most heavily used and tended to contain the most information. To ensure confidentiality, materials provided at the Search Committee meetings were retrieved by the Secretary at the end of each meeting for return to the Committee office. As the search process narrowed and intensified, most Committee members relied on the information provided at meetings (abstracted for them from the nominee files) rather than on a review of the actual nominee files themselves.

These files contain copies of the acknowledgment letters sent by Committee members to individuals who nominated candidates or provided advice concerning the qualities the President should have, usually in response to the community mailing. The chronological files contain all other outgoing and inter-office correspondence and related materials from the Search Committee. There are also materials related to the planning for the mailing of 180,000 letters announcing President Sovern's resignation and soliciting nominations for his successor. There is information about the formation of the Faculty Consulting Committee to assist the Search Committee and biographical information of its nine members. There are also notes, articles and memoranda concerning searches conducted by other universities, status reports, mailing lists, and materials related to other universities' presidential searches.

Materials sent to candidates who were to be interviewed by search committees. These were meant to provide the candidates with in-depth information about Columbia's history, facilities and programs, financial data and relevant current issues.

This subseries includes organizational and promotional materials that document the creation and early operation of the Brebner Memorial Fund. They include correspondence to and from Webb and other officers of the Memorial Fund, correspondence with various donors, including many former students and colleagues of Brebner, memorials to Brebner, and some of Brebner's personal ephemera.

Contained in this subseries are academic articles, newspaper and magazine clippings, and research notes and research materials relevant to Brebner's unfinished historical manuscript on early modern and industrializing Britain, which he was preparing when he died in 1857.

Subseries II.1 contains the financial and governance records of Reid Hall through its management of Reid Hall, Inc. These functions are documented through chronologically arranged administrative files and board meeting minutes from 1979-1990. It also includes correspondence and files from Deputy Provosts Michael Mooney and Paul Carter. Other materials relate to the operations of the Reid Hall building, such as contracts, security measures, and renovation plans, as well as to agreements with other universities in Paris.

Subseries II.2 documents the administration and programs of the Sterling Currier Fund, an endowment set up by Edith Sterling Currier to "further the understanding within the Franco-American community" in 1975. The Fund sponsored conferences and events out of Reid Hall and Maison Française on Columbia's Manhattan campus. The subseries includes proposals, agendas, and materials from these events as well as meeting minutes, financial records, and correspondence related to the fund.

Subseries II.3 focuses on the administration of Reid Hall's academic programs and their association with broader university systems in the 1980s and 1990s. Until 2009, Reid Hall was operated under the School of General Studies, though its place within the school structure changed over time as it reorganized. Frank Wolf, originally Associate Dean of the School of General Studies and later head of the Division of Special Programs, which covered Reid Hall beginning in 1995, led this aspect of Reid Hall's work. These functions are documented through meeting minutes, correspondence, and other papers from the Academic Advisory Committee as well as memos on faculty, coursework, and salaries. There are also records from two programs that ran out of Reid Hall, both beginning in the mid-1980s: the Art History Institute and the Graduate Student Research Institute.
