- Scope and Contents
-
The records of Office on the Education of Women, including records of the Special Assistant to the President on the Education of Women, document all aspects of Yale University's transition to undergraduate coeducation. Operations and programs of Yale College and the residential colleges were most directly impacted by the change. Planning for incorporating women in undergraduate life, admissions, and the first undergraduate female students are particularly well documented. The records, arranged alphabetically by topic, include correspondence, memoranda, reports, meeting agendas and minutes, admission applications and other student data, and printed articles and news clippings. In addition to administrative files, the records include subject files related to women and women's issues maintained as a resouce by the Coeducation Office. Researchers interested in women at Yale, coeducation, and women in academe will find the records a rich resource.
