Stuart Givens collection
Collection Organization
The collection is comprised of research files organized by various topics gathered as Dr. Givens prepared his history of BGSU, The Falcon Soars, published in 1985.
The files include mostly photocopied reports, memoranda, extracts from the Board of Trustees minutes, news clippings, and articles, containing primarily statistics or various facts pertinent to tuition, fees, funding, capital improvements, university buildings, students, faculty, staff, degrees, Board of Trustees members, organizational structure, BGSU presidents, and many other topics from the 1960s to the 1980s. Some documents provide comparative data across time for tuition, room and board, alumni giving, and the like. Lists of important events in BGSU history, dates of buildings on campus and individuals who served on the Board of Trustees at any given time are just a few examples of pertinent information contained in this collection.
