Harmon W. Caldwell papers, 1927-1950

38.25 Linear Feet (39 boxes)
Abstract Or Scope:

The Caldwell papers represent the emergence of the modern executive philosophy guiding the modern State University. Because, for the first time, a filing schema has survived intact, there has been no need for reorganization of the papers to facilitate user access, and the original provenance has thus been more or less preserved. The papers break down into four broad series as follows: Series 1: Administrative Subject/Correspondence File 1927-1949. This series encompasses the fullest scope of Caldwell's myriad duties as University President, and comprises 75% by bulk of the volume of the collection. Included are extended subseries treating the University building program, the "Cocking Affair", the higher education of blacks in Georgia, the emerging Landscape Architecture program, the increasing role of agricultural research in the postwar South, the early standardization of Senior Class rings, the emergence of the University Center in Georgia, the vitality of the newly created University of Georgia Press, and the WPA Georgia Writers Project. Series 2: Board of Regents Files 1932-1949. This series documents interactions between Caldwell as University President and the state Board of Regents. Series 3: Wartime Administrative Files, 1940-1948. This series follows the multiple hats which Caldwell wore in his various roles in support of America's involvement in World War II. It is further organized into separate sub-series covering the following specific functions: Civilian Defense/Selective Service/U.S. Armed Forces/War Program/Army Specialized Training Corps/Navy Training School/Personnel-Savannah Unit. Series 4: UGA Personnel Files 1937-1950. This is an alpha-ordered set of University personnel files for the indicated years (it is not comprehensive).
