Content Description

Video tapes Photographs In the early 1900s, alumni activities at Northeastern University were organized by each department. In 1927 William C. White, who later became Executive Vice President of Northeastern University (NU), was appointed the first Alumni Secretary. Rudolf O. Oberg replaced White in 1929 as Alumni Secretary of the Day Colleges. Oberg expanded the role of organizing alumni events and furthering alumni relations, and due to his efforts, an alumni office was created in 1943, with Oberg as Director of Alumni Relations. An Alumni Federation was formed in 1946 to combine the alumni activities and interests of the Day Colleges, School of Law, and School of Business. In 1960 the Office of Alumni Development was formed to take over alumni fund raising from Alumni Relations. Consists of photographs of alumni reunion events and assorted video tapes (VHS and Beta) of sporting (Northeastern University versus Dartmouth College and Northeastern University versus MSU) and other events. Contains additional documents pertaining to alumni-affiliated organizations. The collection is unprocessed. Accessioned 2010 Feb 11. Add videos to video collection? 44/4
