Subseries 15D: Arthur E. Fox, 1939-1956 [bulk: 1948-1952], pertains to Arthur E. Fox, assistant to the president. His folders cover a wide range of topics, underscoring the multifaceted nature of Dodds's concerns and those of his staff: from office space to football; from student discipline to visiting dignitaries, including the Shah of Iran in 1949. The impact of World War II is reflected in the presence of military training data and material relating to the R.O.T.C., the Army Specialized Training Program Unit, and the Army Exchange School, as well as to veterans' benefits. (All records of the Department of Military Science, including the historical records of the Princeton R.O.T.C., were destroyed in the gymnasium fire of May 24, 1944.)
