Chairman's Files

Chairman's Files is the largest series in the collection. It contains material dealing with the administration of the department. This includes correspondence, curriculum, and faculty information. Most of the material is from A. Kent Christensen's years as chairman. There is, however, scattered correspondence from his predecessors beginning in 1902. Of note is material relating to the creation of a cell biology laboratory and rationale for a departmental name change to Department of Anatomy and Cell Biology in 1981-1982.
