Kappa Mu Epsilon, Bowling Green State University chapter records

 Collection – Multiple Containers
Identifier: UA-0115

Collection Organization

This collection documents the history and activities of the Ohio Alpha chapter of the math honorary society Kappa Mu Epsilon from 1937-2009.

Included in the collection are brochures and flyers, correspondence, handbooks, membership cards, and membership certificates.

During processing confidential materials (primarily including students social security numbers and grade information) were removed. Each year to determine eligibility for KME, a report was obtained from the registrar's office on the academic standing of those who might be considered for membership. Sample redacted versions of a few of these reports have been included in the collection; the originals were all destroyed during processing.

Collection size: 3 letter sized manuscript boxes (1 cubic foot)
