Scope and Contents
Subject files, correspondence and meeting minutes are the bulk of this collection. Some of the records document activities of the student organizations and student publications within the School - such as those of Delta Sigma (the men's journalism honorary) which petitioned to become a chapter of Sigma Delta Chi (now the Society of Professional Journalists) in 1963. Of particular interest within those materials are the alumni surveys which provide information on the types of professional work obtained by alumni of the School. Also of interest in the collection are the materials related to the operation of the BG News (the student newspaper on campus) during the 1960s mainly, including annual and weekly reports describing its operations.
