Collection Overview
Collection Description & Creator Information
- Scope and Contents
A series of administrative materials reflects the administration of the Princeton University Athletic Association—audit reports range from 1933 to 1949—as well as plans, budgets, and invoices for improvements to the Caldwell Field House and Frelinghuysen Field, particularly in the early 1960s, including a plan to install lighting at Frelinghuysen Field. The audit reports and later correspondence, estimates and invoices, blueprints, supply catalogs and budgets for physical improvements appear to come from the files of Director of Athletics R. Kenneth Fairman.
Included here are internal, university-wide publications on faculty benefits and fundraising campaigns, admissions and promotional material from the 1970s and 1980s, as well as athletic apparel and supply catalogs and copies of the Ivy League Record Book from the 1970s and 1980s.
- Arrangement
Arranged in approximate chronological order and by topic.

Also removed was a run of the Journal of Health and Physical Education/Journal of the American Association for Health Physical Education and Recreation from the years 1947, 1949, and 1952-53, available in the library catalog.
