Records, 1957-1984.

http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/122492369

The collection records the history of the Department of Religious Studies of the University of Pennsylvania. The Department Records series documents the department administration from 1958 to 1984. The series is a mixture of material concerning the department in general and material concerning the individual department chairmen of different periods. Included is a folder of the correspondence of the department chairmen, which covers the period of 1961-1982. The Robert Evans File consists of material of both personal and professional nature. Researchers interested in his role in the University's undergraduate admissions, specifically in the capacity of Chairman of the University Council Committee on Undergraduate Admissions and Financial Aid, will find a resource in this series. Finally, the Robert Kraft File relates exclusively to an inquiry about his publication interest.
