The Events sub-subseries, 1997-2001 (4.5 linear feet), includes files on several events, lectures and symposiums that took place during Bollinger's tenure. Of particular note are the files on the Arthur Miller symposium in honor of the famous playwright and alumnus. These files include correspondence to and from Arthur Miller, as well as brochures and other materials from the symposium. There are also materials on another well-known alumnus, former President of the United States Gerald R. Ford. The Gerald R. Ford files focus primarily on the naming of the School of Public Policy in honor of the former president. There is also a detailed record of events held in the Inglis House. Finally, there is a large amount of materials on the Royal Shakespeare Company Residency at the University of Michigan in March 2001. This residency kicked off a multi-year partnership between the Royal Shakespeare Company and the University, and resulted in subsequent residencies at the university. The residency proved to be highly popular and successful.
