Collections : [Columbia University Archives]

The collection consists of the records of university seminars in various fields for each academic year since their establishment. A typical file will include minutes of the meetings, but there may also be supporting documentation such as correspondence, reports, or copies of papers presented at a meeting.

This collection consists of the materials used to compile the report, Columbia's Academic Eminence: A Report by the University Development Plan Committee's Subcommittee on Academic Eminence, 1954-1955. There are surveys for each academic department (Philosophy) and "field of learning" (Ethics, Logic, Metaphysics). There are also some subcommitee records: minutes, correspondence, outlines, and drafts of the final report.

Materials consist of biographical, faculty, historical, subject and chornological files maintained by this office, speeches of University Presidents, Columbia in the News publications, and materials generated by Fred Knuble, Director of Public Information from 1969 to his death in 1998.
