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.
