Records of the Rutgers University Provost's Cabinet, 1953-1972.

http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/760975624

The folders entitled "Provost's Cabinet Meetings" contain minutes from Meeting No. 1 on July 8, 1953 through Meeting No. 155 on June 14, 1971. Meeting minutes are missing for Meetings No. 117 to 122 and Nos. 125 to 128. The minutes for Meeting No. 33 were not taken due to the absence of the Secretary. Two meetings (February 4 and March 4, 1957) are listed as No. 45. Meeting 53, scheduled for February 1958, was canceled because Mason W. Gross was ill and unable to attend. Although the records suggest the Cabinet met during the 1971-1972 year (there is correspondence regarding the meetings), no minutes from that year were included in the papers that make up this collection. These folders also contain correspondence regarding meeting schedules and agendas, and supplementary materials such as reports.

The expansion of the Rutgers University Library system can be attributed to the work of Donald F. Cameron, who succeeded George Osborne as University Librarian in 1944. At that time, the University Library's collection, housed in the Voorhees Library, numbered approximately 400,000 volumes. It had long been recognized that the collection, the staff, and the library building itself would need to be expanded to sufficiently provide for Rutgers' growing community. Cameron came to Rutgers as an asso...
