The collection includes administrative and financial records. There are volumes of Board of Trustees and Annual Meeting minutes and reports covering the period 1917 to 1960, as well as a set of scholarship accounting ledgers from 1924 to 1982. There are also files documenting bequests and other contributions, and employee records. About two-thirds of the collection is school and student files that contain personal and family information, income data, and academic records for the students who received financial support from the late 1970s through 2001. Because of the personal nature of these files, access is restricted for seventy-five years from the date of creation.
