Chairman's File
The Chairman's File series is divided into two subseries. There is a small subseries of departmental records from the period when William A. Hiltner was chairman. There is also a subseries of files relating to the internal and external workings of the Department under Robert P. Kirshner and, later, Douglas O. Richstone in the 1980s. Arranged in reverse chronological order, this subseries includes incoming and outgoing memoranda and correspondence which discuss faculty and doctoral appointments, fund-raising activities, and recommendations.
