Summary:
The Academic Department series documents communication between the CAS Dean and the departments and research centers affiliated with CAS. Some departments are more thoroughly documented than others. Records typically include correspondence, admission publications, brochures, program proposals, clippings, newsletters, and grant proposals. The collection documents the development of arts programming particularly well. There is extensive material on the Division of Fine Arts, Division of Performing and Visual Arts, the Center for the Arts, and the Departments of Art, Art and Architecture, Theater, and Music. Material includes performance programs, correspondence, contracts, admissions publications, events calendars, flyers, exhibit posters and booklets, and performance reviews. Other well documented departments include chemistry, economics, English, physics, and psychology.
