Abstract

The records of the Rutgers University Director of Intercollegiate Athletics (Albert W. Twitchell) are dated between 1931 and 1977 but are primarily from the 1960s and early 1970s. The records mostly reflect the administration of Albert Twitchell (1961-1973), although there is also a fair amount of Fred Gruninger's correspondence from his days as the assistant athletic director, as well as from his early days as the athletic director. In addition, there is also correspondence from Don Heilman, an assistant athletic director under Gruninger. In general, the records consist of letters, contracts, schedules, expense reports, receipts, drawings, and other correspondence that reflect the role the Athletics Department played at Rutgers during this period.
