University of Montana Office of the President records, 1897-2010, RG 001
Description
The collection contains a great deal of material relating to the day-to-day operation of the University of Montana-Missoula. Although classes began at the University in 1895, the earliest years of the institution are not well represented in the materials. Some records from the 1890s and early 1900s are present, but the earliest significant representation starts in 1908. Most presidential terms are well represented through the 1900s and into the 2000s. This collection contains many folders arranged by subject. It holds correspondence, many items concerning the Montana State Legislature, documents pertaining to the sale of land around Fort Missoula to the Missoula Country Club, information on the 1994 restructuring of the university system, meeting minutes, papers from many different student and employee committees, Montana Conservation Corps documents, budgets, projects, financial information, materials from the Physical Plant, and scholarship information. Documents relating to the planning, funding, and advertisement for the President’s Lecture Series are also prominent as well as Board of Regents materials, and enrollment information. There are items relating to athletics and NCAA regulations as well as many invitations to university events and public exercises.
