Scope and Content Note
Organized into 8 series. Records include administrative and director
files, annual letters to President, committee minutes and reports, and
lists of honors graduates.
Historical Note
Honors work began in the School of Science in 1959. A combined program
from that school and the School of Humanities and Social Sciences was
initiated in 1964 and led to establishment in 1967 of a
university-wide Honors Program. The program offered enriched
educational opportunities to students of superior scholastic ability.
In addition to participation in honors colloquia and seminars,
students were required to complete a Senior Honors Thesis. The Honors
Program was terminated at the end of the 1990-91 academic year due to
budget constraints. A new Honors College was established for fall
1995.
