Lehigh University history by W. Ross Yates. 1865-1992.

http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/258767795

The material here includes two separate typescripts of W. Ross Yates' history of Lehigh University. The first one, tentatively titled "The Story of the Lehigh University: An Intimate History," is very detailed, and includes an index of names mentioned. (Notes and corrections are from James D. Mack, who read it). The second typescript more closely resembles the published work, with a lot of the original material omitted. (The introduction is different). The book, published in 1992 by Lehigh University Press, is titled Lehigh University: A History of Education in Engineering, Business, and the Human Condition.
