This collection mainly documents the Office of the Dean of Women from the years 1946 through 1970. Although most of the collection pertains to the office under the leadership of Edith Stallings, there is a good deal of material associated with Louise McBee. Also included is material from the late 1960s and early 1970s related to UGA Dialogue, a conference designed to promote better communication among University faculty and students, and the National Association of Women Deans and Counselors (NAWDC). Of particular interest is a wealth of information pertaining to how the Office of the Dean of Women dealt with the 1961 integration of the University of Georgia. Also of special interest are annual reports which cover the Office of the Dean of Women under both Edith Stallings and Louise McBee and give a detailed breakdown by year of numerous statistics and facts relating to women students, housing, staff, and the social mores of the day. Along that same theme, some materials illustrate some of the issues surrounding young wome's dress and behavior during the 1950s and 1960s.
