Biographical Sketch
In the fall of 1951, President Wiggins decided that the university should
begin a self-evaluation program. Though the main purpose of the study was to
evaluate the university's graduate programs, the study surveyed both the
undergraduate and graduate programs. A faculty committee was created to serve
as a steering committee for the faculty study section.
Each department was asked to submit a report on its doctoral programs and to
complete a report based on questioned set by the self-evaluation committee. A
composite report was compiled from these various departmental reports, after
which the committee reviewed the report and made suggestions. A final draft
of the report was then completed.
Scope and Content
The collection contains the worksheets, statistical surveys and departmental
reports used to compile the final report in 1954.
Organization
The materials are arranged into alphabetical order. The entire collection
was reprocessed as half the materials were in folders and the other half loose
in the box, with no perceptible order. Many items were duplicates and were
culled from the collection.
Index Terms
The subject headings used by the Southwest Collection/Special
Collections Library are derived from the Library of Congress and/or locally
developed.
