Jacquelyn Mattfeld, 1948-1980

Scope and content:

Series 4, Jacquelyn Mattfeld, contains correspondence between Mattfeld and academic departments, professors, administrators, administrative departments, students, and donors. In contrast to records of earlier presidential tenures, the records created by Mattfeld (and subsequent presidents) include multiple formats beyond correspondence. This series also contains reports made by the President and for the President, committee materials and their supporting documents, and speeches given by Mattfeld. Additionally, this series contains materials related to the capital campaign Mattfeld spearheaded alongside Barnard and Columbia intercorporate agreement discussions.

Arrangement:

The archivist arranged this series into six subseries:

  • Subseries 4.1, Academic departments and administrative offices
  • Subseries 4.2, External communications, speeches, and publications
  • Subseries 4.3, Reports
  • Subseries 4.4, Capital campaign materials
  • Subseries 4.5, Committees
  • Subseries 4.6, Barnard College-Columbia University relations
Series 4 was organized in multiple ways upon receipt, which the archivist revised for easier access and reference. Whenever possible, the archivist organized the materials into these topical subseries. The contents themselves are described at the file level.
