Scope and content
Series consists of correspondence, minutes, printed material, photographs, legal documents, published and unpublished reports, invitations, maps, speeches and addresses, notes, photos, mailing lists, and notes, arranged alphabetically by subject then chronologically by date. The records were created both by the Chancellor and his office staff in the course of activities associated with the Chancellorship and range from routine affirmations of appointments and schedules to documents revealing unique and valuable aspects of University events. The majority were generated between 1969 and 1971, although some documents dating back to the tenure of Chancellor Phyllis Ross, 1961-1966. Few files contain records created during Nemetz's tenure, 1967-1974, most of the files having been generated by Chancellors Buchanan and McGavin. Of particular interest are the ceremonies files which trace the evolution of projects such as Cecil Green Park and Acadia Park from the planning stage to the opening ceremonies, congregation files which reveal the social and diplomatic traditions demanded by the event, and the Koerner Foundation records which present the extent of the Foundation's assistance to the University. Numerous other files attest to the scope and variety of the Chancellor's duties, both legislated and unofficial, and reveal the function of the Chancellor as an unofficial political mediator.
