Collection Overview

Collection Description & Creator Information

Arrangement

The Alumni Organization Records have been loosely organized into two primary series according to whether they pertain to the national Alumni Association or to one of the regional associations under its auspices. Within each series, no arrangement has been imposed; the papers remain largely in their original order. Accruals will be added to the end of the first two primary series.
