http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/729244548

The records of the Office of the Chancellor of North Carolina State University during the administration of John Tyler Caldwell reflect much of what was occuring in the United States at the time. Topics include controversial laws such as the North Carolina Speaker Ban law and loyalty oath of the National Education Defense Act. Other topics reflective of national trends include student unrest arising from the Vietnam War and the Kent State shootings of May 4th 1970, the integration of more African-Americans into the workforce and student body, and the election of the first female student body president, Cathy Sterling. There is correspondence with presidents Harry Truman, John F. Kennedy, Lyndon Johnson, and Richard Nixon, as well as contact with members of the North Carolina legislature and the United States Congress. Correspondence between Caldwell and Jesse Helms (as vice president of WRAL-TV and later Senator) reflects many of the issues of the day. Other topics specific to North Carolina State College (later University) include the name change from college to university, the building of a new football stadium named Carter Stadium (later, Carter-Finley), the maintenance and safety concerns of a nuclear reactor on campus, and athletic events and issues. The expansion of the university is represented by the establishment of the Agricultural Policy Institute, the School of Physical Science and Applied Mathematics, and the School of Liberal Arts. Enrollment exceeded 20,000 and the total number of degrees awarded reached 50,000. The records of the Office of the Chancellor during John Caldwell's administration range in date from 1959 to 1975.
