History of Graduate School Records
The earliest form of organized graduate education at Princeton began when President James Carnahan announced the establishment of a Law School in 1846, which awarded its last degree in 1852. Graduate work in a formal sense emerged at Princeton in the 1870s when President James McCosh added new faculty and graduate fellowships. The introduction of graduate work in the sciences came with the opening of the John C. Green School of Science in 1873, offering both masters and doctoral degrees. Princeton's Graduate School, established officially by the Trustees in late 1900, began its operations in the fall of 1901. The School's first dean, Andrew Fleming West, sought to improve the quality of education by insisting on high entrance and academic standards and by creating what he believed to be the proper residential setting, a Graduate College, where the students would learn from one another. Merwick, located on Bayard Lane and provided by benefactor Moses Taylor Pyne in 1905, served as the first residence for graduate students. It housed twelve to fifteen students and served as a dining facility and center of recreation.
Upon her death in 1906, Josephine Thomson Swann, the first benefactor of the Graduate School, bequeathed $275,000 to Princeton for the construction of a Graduate College in her late husband's name. This money allowed Dean West and President Woodrow Wilson to formulate plans for the Graduate School, but controversy came with the building of the Graduate College, which would replace Merwick as a residence for students. West proposed that the College be remotely located, away from the distractions of undergraduate life, while Wilson favored a site near Prospect House. William Cooper Procter, Class of 1883, who contributed funds for what would become Procter Hall, strongly campaigned for the site near the golf links. He offered $500,000 toward the Graduate College, but found Wilson's choice for the site unsuitable and made his offer conditional “upon further understanding that some other site be chosen, which shall be satisfactory to me.” Wilson refused to accept a gift upon such terms, and held tightly to his belief that West could not succeed in his plan to locate the Graduate College at the golf links, away from the “existing life of the University.” Although Wilson had the support of the faculty and a majority of the trustees, Procter still insisted on his conditions.
After weighing the options, Howard Crosby Butler, the first Master-in-Residence of the Graduate College, agreed with West that a Graduate College apart from the undergraduates was wise based on his “practical experience with the group of graduate students at Merwick.” Isaac Chauncey Wyman, Class of 1848, who came to side with Dean West and William Cooper Procter, left the bulk of his estate, initially estimated at two million dollars, to the Graduate College, and it was this that ultimately settled the question of its location. In his report to the trustees, Wilson finally accepted West's plan for the location and acceded to Procter's conditions. Once the site controversy was settled, architect Ralph Adams Cram, the “high priest” of American Collegiate Gothic, designed the College as a complex consisting of a quadrangle, the Pyne Memorial Tower for the residence of the Master of the College, and the great hall, Procter Hall, which became known for its stained glass windows, carved timber ceiling, and pipe organ. A “collegiate” lifestyle developed at the Graduate College, with recreation, lectures, and meals together in Procter Hall. The Graduate College provided graduate students with a communal life outside of the classrooms and laboratories.
World War I radically changed the character of the nascent Graduate School as students left for war service, and the Graduate College was leased to the military for training naval officers. Until 1922, the Graduate School had limited its enrollment to 200 degree candidates. Several departments, such as history, English, and chemistry, felt increased pressure to admit students beyond the 1922 quotas. By 1932, under Dean Augustus Trowbridge (1928-1933), enrollment was raised to 250, but it was not until the administration of Dean Hugh Stott Taylor (1945-1958), that the upper limit was finally removed. With increased research funds in math and sciences came assistantships for students. By World War II, Dean Luther Eisenhart (1933-1945), who had come on board during the Depression, had given the Graduate School a new sense of mission and increased claim to excellence. He changed doctoral regulations, redefined master's degrees, and created scholarships.
As World War II wound down and enrollment began strongly increasing again, the Graduate School faced a housing crisis, especially for married students. Married veterans and their families moved into what were at one time army barracks, the Butler Apartments, on Harrison Street. The shape of graduate education in the postwar years became a major interest, and Dean Taylor oversaw the postwar expansion of the Graduate School. He added new doctoral programs and brought alumni more fully into the University family through the creation of the Association of Princeton Graduate Alumni. The establishment of the Forrestal Campus in 1951, which included the Plasma Physics Laboratory and a particle accelerator, helped cement Princeton's reputation as a world-class institution in the study of physics
Under Dean Donald Hamilton (1958-1965), the enrollment of the Graduate School continued to increase steadily. The fellowship budget grew, as did the number of interdisciplinary programs. Princeton admitted its first woman graduate student as a special case in 1961, and in 1968 the Graduate School's doors were officially opened to women. Throughout the 1960s, the recruitment of minorities, especially African Americans, grew. Toward the end of the 1960s, with the global political climate changing, Princeton, like other graduate schools, felt increasing pressure to admit more students from other nations.
After weathering Vietnam War protests in the 1970s, the Graduate School faced further problems with funding, particularly in the humanities. Budget cuts served to reshape the Graduate School's demography, financing, programs, and morale through to the early 1990s. Steady growth throughout the latter part of the decade, however, can be attributed to doctoral students remaining enrolled in extended programs in order to conduct sophisticated research, acquire foreign languages and study in foreign countries, among other things. In the 1980s and 1990s, the Graduate School saw more specialties in academic departments and the establishment of focused research institutes and centers, as well as a strong exchange program with peer institutions.

Series 1, Faculty Committee on the Graduate School Records, 1887-1969
Series Description
The Faculty Committee on the Graduate School, earlier termed the Committee on University Degrees and Fellowships (1887-1895) and the Committee on the Graduate Department (1898-1904) serves as the principal governing body for the Graduate School. Since 1910 there have been individual representatives from each department on the Committee. The Committee's activities include approval of courses and catalog information, sanctioning of fellowships and degrees, establishing qualifications for degrees, distribution of fees to faculty for service as readers, determining admission and residency policies, creating new degree programs, and coordinating requests for graduate-level course work by undergraduates and students at Princeton Theological Seminary. Of special value in this series are the statistical reports by the various deans found in the committee minutes. These include information on the number of graduate students taking various courses each semester, and admission data on applicants and those admitted which includes undergraduate schools represented and geographical distribution of the students. This series is divided into four subseries: minutes (1887-1960); memoranda to the Committee (1949-1961); reports to the faculty (1908-1969), and PhD examinations and fees (1895-1916). (Similar entries can be found in the minutes for 1887-1894.)

Box 11, Folder 5-6 Series 2, Andrew Fleming West Records, 1870-1943,
Series Description
This series includes two subseries: correspondence, and writings and speeches. The correspondence is arranged chronologically. It contains letters, memos, and telegrams to and from West and also items on which he was copied. The writings and speeches are arranged alphabetically. They consist of the manuscript copies and do not include West's published versions which can be located in Series 4, Printed Material or in the Faculty and Alumni Offprints Collection (AC-121).
West's correspondence consists of both his official Princeton University-related correspondence while Dean of the Graduate School and his personal correspondence. It provides wonderful insight into the development of the Graduate School and the building of the Graduate College. Included is correspondence related to students seeking information on admission and the awarding of degrees; discussions with other prominent educators regarding the role of classics in education, qualifications of graduate students, and the function of graduate education in America; exchanges between West, University President Woodrow Wilson, Trustee Moses Taylor Pyne, benefactor William C. Procter, architects Cram and Goodhue, and others regarding the proper location for the Graduate College (see also Series 1, 3, 4, and 7); the bequest of Isaac C. Wyman, Class of 1848, which provided sufficient funds for the University to build the Graduate College where West preferred, and the dispensation of the will; the construction and dedication of the Graduate College; and the day-to-day workings of the Graduate School. West's more personal correspondence includes letters to and from family members, birthday greetings from well-wishers, and insurance policies.
Speeches consist of addresses given at testimonial dinners, conferences, and gatherings of college alumni. West's writings cover a variety of topics including discussion of classics, college education, and drafts of reports to the Princeton University Board of Trustees. This section also includes lyrics and poetry.
The material in this series constitutes the bulk of West's personal papers. There is no separate manuscript collection, although some West correspondence can be found in the General Manuscripts Collection located in the Manuscripts Division at Princeton's Firestone Library.

Box 18, Folder 37 Series 3, Deans' Subject Files, 1895-1993
Series Description
This series contains correspondence, memoranda, minutes, reports, articles, and clippings primarily from the 1930s to the 1960s. These records encompass the tenures of Deans Andrew Fleming West, Augustus Trowbridge, Luther P. Eisenhart, Hugh Stott Taylor, Donald Ross Hamilton, and Colin S. Pittendrigh and also include one report from 1980. For the most part, the series consists of subject files maintained by the Office of the Dean of the Graduate School. The bulk of these files were kept as a record series that overlapped the terms of the new and old deans; however some records of Dean West, Dean Hamilton and Dean Pittendrigh were kept separately. Deans Hamilton and Pittendrigh's records were integrated into the other Dean's files, while Dean West's records have been kept as a separate series (See Series 2). This was done because West's papers had been partially processed and consisted of chronologically organized correspondence files and writings while Deans Hamilton and Pittendrigh's files consisted primarily of subject files. Files in this series are arranged alphabetically by subject.
Subjects from the early days of the Graduate School include Merwick, the first graduate student residence, and reminiscences of what it was like living there; the Carillon housed in Cleveland Tower and decisions about its purchase and construction; and the Wyman bequest, including an original copy of the will of Isaac C. Wyman who bequeathed his entire estate for the enhancement of the Graduate School. For more information relating to the initial years of the Graduate School researchers should consult Series 1, 2, 4, and 7 as well.
Other subjects covered in this series include the Association of Princeton Graduate Alumni (APGA) and the educational conferences it held from 1949 to 1964; various committees such as the Committee on Computer Science and the Inter-University Committee on Travel Grants which supported “university-administered study and research-related travel in exchange with the Soviet Union and the countries of East Central Europe;” student housing deficiencies; departmental surveys; fellowships; travel grants; and the Loan Fund which was a general term for both Princeton-generated and foundation-generated funding. There are also correspondence files for individuals such as President Robert F. Goheen and Treasurer Ricardo Mestres.
This series contains a good deal of information related to post-World War II expansion and the influx of graduate students via the G.I. Bill and through extended learning programs sponsored by the U.S. Armed Forces. Files include correspondence with representatives of the various branches of the U.S. Armed Forces and the Veteran's Administration and memoranda from professors concerned about the qualifications of candidates.
There are records related to foreign students and assorted programs of international exchange, including the U.S. Department of State Exchange Visitor Program and the Russian Exchange in the early 1960s which give insight into the Cold War anxiety that existed at the time. This series also contains material regarding immigration, from the 1920s to the 1950s and concerns about the credentials of foreign applicants.
Material related to the Graduate College is organized under this primary heading and consists of subjects related to the physical buildings and land of the Graduate School and their upkeep. Included are items pertaining to dedication ceremonies, physical planning, space layout, parking, furnishings and decorations, and room assignments. There is also material on the House Committee, which is the student governing body for the Graduate College. One should also consult the Grounds and Buildings records and the Historical Photograph Collection, Grounds and Buildings Series, in the Princeton University Archives for other files relating to the Graduate College.
This series also contains material related to World War I and World War II. There is correspondence during World War I to Howard Crosby Butler, Master-in-Residence of the College, from servicemen who were former students of the Graduate School. During World War II Mrs. Luther P. Eisenhart, the Dean's wife, sent out a monthly newsletter to all former graduate students serving in the Armed Forces. She received many letters and postcards in response, and both the newsletters and responses are represented in this series. There is also correspondence between Dean Eisenhart and various branches of the armed forces regarding military training programs at Princeton.
Researchers should note that some material in this series has been restricted for 75 years from date of creation of the record. Such material includes student academic and financial records, which were mixed in with correspondence.

Series Description
In 1967 President Robert Goheen asked Professor Willard Thorp to write a history of the Graduate School. After several years of work gathering information and completing the first four chapters, Thorp became ill, and Minor Myers, Jr. was asked to finish the work. By 1975 Myers completed a text consisting of twelve chapters. Outside readers and the Princeton University Press concluded that the work was too lengthy to be printed. At that point the Dean of the Graduate School asked a third individual, Jeremiah Stanton Finch, to edit the draft to a more manageable length. Even Finch's version proved too long, and his Chapters 8 and 9 were also severely truncated. This series includes correspondence relating to this enterprise, Thorp's notes from interviews, the search for information on John Miller's letter to Joseph Henry proposing a “College of Discoverers,” all of the original Thorp/Myers chapters and Chapters 8-9 of the revised Finch draft.

(1.25 linear feet in 1 box)
Subseries Description
The Admissions and Enrollment subseries contains statistics and information related to the enrollment of students in graduate schools, predominantly Princeton University. The records run from 1949 to 1994, but predominantly document from 1980 onward. The admissions section contains graduate admissions statistics, including ethnicity and department, for applicants to all graduate schools and/or Princeton University. There are also correspondence, agendas, calendars, and computer printouts related to the graduate office's function of admitting students. The Enrollment Books break down the enrollment in the Graduate College over a ten year period beginning in 1970. The final section, Surveys, tracks the reasons applicants chose to accept or decline admission and financial aid from Princeton University, including both statistical and narrative analysis.
Arrangement
Arranged into three sections: Admissions and Applications, Enrollment Books, and Surveys. Each section is arranged chronologically.

Subseries Description
The Programs subseries contain materials related to administrating exchange, language, and research programs offered through the Graduate College. The files contain student's application forms, correspondence, grades, letters of recommendation, and biographical information. The subseries also includes the agreements signed between universities to exchange students, budgets, expense reports, and curriculum materials. Programs that are featured predominantly in the subseries are the Dwarf Exchange Program, an exchange program between the Ivy League schools except Dartmouth and Penn, University of California at Berkeley, University of Chicago, Massachusetts Institute of Technology, and Stanford University; the English as a Second Language (ESL) Intensive English Program; the Mellon Minority Undergraduate Fellows Program, and the Summer Language Program.
Arrangement
Arranged alphabetically by program name and chronologically within each program. Note: student exchange programs are always sorted by the partner university, never Princeton University.
Restrictions
This subseries is restricted for 75 years from the creation of the materials due to student academic records and personal information found on program applications and reports.
