Acc0530 University of Utah College of Science records 1967-1991 University of Utah. College of Science 17. 5 linear feet Established in 1970, the College of Science consists of the four departments of Biology, Chemistry, Mathematics, and Physics. This collection contains brochures, budgets, correspondence, memoranda, minutes, news articles, reports, and surveys from the Office of the Dean of the College of Science spanning the dates 1967-1991. English Historical Note

The College of Science was formed on July 1, 1970 when the College of Letters and Science was split into the Colleges of Humanities, Science, and Social and Behavioral Science. Between 1970 and 1991, the College was administered by the following deans: Pete D. Gardner (1971-1974), Frank E. Harris (1974-1975), E. Allan Davis (1975-1976), David M. Grant (1976-1985), Joseph L. Taylor (1985-1987), Hugo Rossi (1987-1989), and Bill Gray (1989-1991).

This collection contains brochures, budgets, correspondence, memoranda, minutes, news articles, proposals, reports, and surveys from the Office of the Dean of the College of Science. 7 linear feet of the collection consists of material from the four departments of Biology, Chemistry, Mathematics, and Physics. Approximately 3.75 linear feet of the material is from the Frontiers of Science Lecture Series. An additional linear foot is from the National Cold Fusion Institute.

This collection is divided into two series. Series 1. consists of 17 linear feet of records from University of Utah departments. Series 2. consists of .5 linear feet of material of non-University of Utah entities. The majority of this collection is arranged alphabetically and then chronologically thereunder. Approximately 3.75 linear feet of material, from the Frontiers of Science Lecture Series, is arranged exclusively by date.

Materials must be used on-site; advanced notice suggested. Access to parts of this collection may be restricted under provisions of state or federal law.

This material came from Records Center accessions 89-224, 89-225, 89-229, 90-288, 90-333, 91-338, and 93-262.
