http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/40479325

Papers reflect McConnell's career, containing correspondence, manuscript drafts, and published papers, as well as his notes and working files. His work after coming to U.C. Berkeley in 1954 is well represented while coverage is weakest in his early years in Iowa and Minnesota. Of note are files on "The Restudy of California's Needs in Higher Education," which provided the basis for California's Master Plan for Higher Education. Contains records on development of the Center for the Study of Higher Education, which later became affiliated with U.C Berkeley as the Center for Research and Development in Higher Education. In addition to working drafts of books and articles, there are transcripts of interviews relating to higher education in Britain, and with California administrators. Clippings files cover Berkeley social and academic politics, and include clippings on Angela Davis' case against the Regents, People's Park, the School of Criminology, and experimental programs at Berkeley. Material on the careers of David Gardner and Clark Kerr, and autobiographical essays and other biographical material also included.
