University Film Collection, 1915-1989.

The University Film collection is largely an artificial collection that, in large measure, comes from the work of the Department of Public Relations from 1954 to 1975, but includes film footage beyond this department as well. The collection documents University life, traditions, and activities during a period of change and growth. The bulk of the film in the General film series celebrate anniversaries and focus on all aspects of the University from academic activities to student traditions. The Campus/Building series document the growth of the University. There is footage on the construction and dedication of buildings campus-wide. Many prominent individuals have been associated with the University and they are covered here. University life and traditions are best found within the Alumni/Parents and Schools/Departments series. The areas of engineering, medicine, business, and finance are strongly represented.
