http://oberlinarchives.libraryhost.com/index.php?p=collections/controlcard&id=100

Records consist of correspondence; committee files; Board of Trustees records; budgetary and personnel records; files relating to external organizations, funds, and foundations; talks and addresses; and general files. Files document the problems and challenges of the Danenberg administration: agitation for college divestment from companies doing business in South Africa, review of faculty salaries, and focus on curriculum development. Present in these records is a small amount of material from preceding presidential administrations (Stevenson, Carr, Fuller, and Acting President Ellsworth C. Carlson) and from Acting President James L. Powell, who succeeded Danenberg, serving from September 1981 to spring 1983.
