Records, 1917-1968.

http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/62197245

The records of the Vice Provost and Dean of the University, Albert E. Meder, consist of more than 13 cubic feet of papers. They are housed in forty manuscript boxes. The collections spans the years between 1917 and 1968 and relate to the many positions held by Meder at Rutgers. The majority of these papers reflect his administrative duties at Rutgers rather than his professorial duties. The collection largely consists of reports and correspondence. The collection has been divided into three series, which have been arranged alphabetically. The Subject Files series contains documents from 1933 to 1968. The series documents the many academic areas Meder was involved in at Rutgers, with files representing many academic departments and issues. This series also contains the Meder's files on the Middle States Association Evaluation in the 1950s and 1960s. The Committee Files series documents the many committees Meder served on and received reports from during his time at Rutgers. These files span between 1917, predating Meder's arrival at Rutgers, to 1968, the year of his departure. In some cases, the committee names reflect the growing concerns of the times, such as the War Curricula files from the mid 1940s and the Television files from the 1960s. Other more longstanding committee concerns include academic standards and personnel policy. The Name Files series contains the voluminous correspondence to and from Meder to many different members of the Rutgers community between 1943 and 1968. This series also contains memoranda Meder sent out to deans and department heads along with a large number of letters to and from President Mason W. Gross before and during tenures as provost and president of Rutgers.
