Records, 1958-1991.

http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/27115987

The records of the Office of the Provost chronicle the creation of this senior administrative position in 1960 and the subsequent development of this Office over three decades. The numerous changes in duties and the subsequent alterations in reporting relationships are well documented. Recent records reflect an increasing use of computer technologies to compile budgetary data and produce statistical studies and reports. Documentation includes incoming and outgoing correspondence, reports, technical papers, budget print-outs, and other records received or created in the general administrative role of the Provost. The five subgroups correspond to the Provost's major areas of functional responsibility. The Provost's records document the administration of several departments within a divisional framework. Due to the Provost's ex officio membership in the General Faculty and all subordinate faculties and councils, the records of governing bodies and committees are extensive, underscoring the Provost's wide-ranging responsibilities in both the College and Conservatory divisions.
