Records of Paul M. Fye, 1942-1979, (bulk 1958-1977)

http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/81716371

Correspondence, documents, grants and contracts, reports, minutes, notes, manuscripts, and articles prepared in Fye's capacity as the Institution's Director. Records from the 1950s overlap the directorships of his two predecessors, Edward Smith and Columbus Iselin (boxes 19-25, 28-29). All the records from Iselin's brief second term from August 1956 to May 1958, were assimilated into the records of Fye's administration. Also, files at the end of Fye's administration include materials from the administration of his successor John Steele. The subjects covered in the records include: the growth of oceanographic research in the 1960s; the use of the airplane as a research vessel; collaborative research and the first International Oceanographic Congress, replacing the Atlantis ship with the new Atlantis II; the expansion of educational activities.
