Memoranda (21 folders), 1959-1975

Series 1 comprises ASK's chronological file, 1960-73, correspondence, n.d., 1958-75, and memoranda, 1959-1975.

The chronological file (Boxes 1-3, Folders 1-81) consists of copies of outgoing correspondence to individuals both inside and outside of the NU community.  A few memoranda are included, and some of the letters have attachments.  Topics include student unrest and the development and publication of the "Handbook of College and University Administration."

The correspondence files (Boxes 3-4, Folders 82-107) comprise ASK's incoming correspondence, mostly from individuals outside the NU community.  In most cases, a copy of ASK's response is attached to the original letter.  The correspondence files are arranged in two sections: one alphabetical, by last name or by institution (Box 3, Folder 82-91), and one chronological (Boxes 3-4, Folders 92-107).  Some of the correspondence (Box 3, Folders 85, 87) predates ASK's presidency, and some of it is of a personal nature, even though he signed it as president.

Memoranda, 1959-75 (Box 4, Folders 108-128) is arranged chronologically, and is addressed to NU faculty, staff, and students. There are two partial indexes to the memoranda. The first (Box 4, Folder 112) covers all types of memoranda from 2/18/63 to 9/29/70.  The second (Box 4, Folder 124) covers memoranda to faculty and staff from 10/26/73 to 6/25/75. Some of the memoranda have attachments.  Researchers should note that memoranda to the Corporation and Board of Trustees are filed with the Corporation and Board of Trustees material (Box 16, Folders 565-566).  The memoranda address a variety of issues, including student unrest, 1968-70 (Box 4, Folders 118-121).
