Content and structure elements

Scope and content

This collection contains campus telephone directories from 1924 through the 2014/15 academic year. Listed were the addresses, PO boxes, and phone numbers.  Often, the directory indicated the year of study for students.  Though the first few directories listed only students, most of the directories list faculty, staff, and students.  Faculty/staff were always listed separately from students.

Starting in the early 1960s, university offices were listed and, later, would list sub-units and personnel associated with the office.  Other information, such as campus maps and lists of buildings were included, as well as advertisements from local businesses and churches.

The final physical copy was printed for the 2014/15 academic year.

System of arrangement
