http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/63945810

Correspondence and office files from Malott's presidency of Cornell University (1951-1963). Includes some social correspondence, mainly concerning his travel, autograph collection, and letters to and from friends. Subjects include the relations between the Malott administration and the Board of Trustees, and correspondence between Malott and individual Board members, members of the Cornell University Council, and donors to the university. Another major topic is the Cornell administration's dealings with the university's colleges, divisions, departments, and committees, with the State University of New York, and with the New York State and federal governments. Topics include the Cornell University Library, the development of its special collections, and the construction of Olin Library; the Department of Physical Education and Athletics and the expansion of its programs and facilities; and Cornell University Medical College, including the question of an enrollment quota for Jewish applicants. Also, the University Faculty, especially issues of academic freedom; the Dept. of Economics, including the controversy over its alleged lack of a traditional capitalist perspective; the Graduate School of Nutrition, Social Science Research Center, School of Hotel Administration, Cornell United Religious Work, ROTC, Law School, Cornell Aeronautical Laboratory, College of Arts and Sciences, College of Architecture, College of Engineering, the Graduate School of Business and Public Administration, New York State School of Industrial and Labor Relations, New York State College of Agriculture, New York State College of Home Economics, and New York State Veterinary College. There are also files documenting the searches for deans of the School of Hotel Administration, Law School, College of Architecture, and Graduate School of Business and Public Administration. Other topics include the expansion of university research, the Office of University Development, alumni affairs, and the construction of Gannett Clinic, Collyer Boathouse, Helen Newman Hall, and other buildings and facilities. Also, the administration's relations with businesses, and with educational and philanthropic foundations, such as the Rockefeller Foundation, Alfred P. Sloan Foundation, Ford Foundation, National Science Foundation, American Association of Land Grant Colleges and State Universities, and American Council on Education. Another significant topic is communism and the discord of the McCarthy Era, including fears concerning the supposed communist influence in the teaching of some faculty, such as Philip Morrison, Marcus Singer, Harry Steinmetz, and Paul Sweezy. Another main topic is student deportment, including the social problem of fraternities, mainly drinking and male-female relationships; fraternities with restrictive clauses and racially segregated sororities; and University rules on the presence of women in men's off-campus apartments, which led in part to a major demonstration in 1958. A small amount of material pertains to sex discrimination. Other issues include the founding and chairing of the John L. Senior Professorship, and affiliations among Ivy League schools. Also covered are cooperative programs with other colleges, and with universities in Latin America, Europe, and Africa; also, relations with Ithaca, N. Y., the development of educational television, and the Liberian Codification Project. Major correspondents include Neal Dow Becker, Walter S. Carpenter, John Lyon Collyer, Arthur H. Dean, Mary H. Donlon, Victor Emanuel, Caroline Werner Gannett, Frank E. Gannett, Larry E. Gubb, Eugene F. Kaufman, Philip Morrison, William I. Myers, Jansen Noyes, Nicholas H. Noyes, John M. Olin, Nelson A.
