Indiana University President's Office
records, 1967-1969, bulk Aug.-Dec.
1968
Presidential Search & Screen files are closed to researchers; these have been
pulled and placed at the end of the collection.
After Indiana University President Elvis J. Stahr resigned suddenly on July 6, 1968,
the Board of Trustees asked University Chancellor and former president Herman B
Wells to serve as interim president while they conducted a search for a new leader.
Chancellor Wells served as interim president from September 1-November 30, 1968.
Joseph Sutton was elected as the new president of Indiana University on November 15,
1968 and took office on December 1. During this short period, Wells was faced with a
number of challenges, such as public opposition to the new opposite-sex guest
privileges in dormitories and the activities of student organizations such as
Students for a Democratic Society (SDS).
Following the original order of the records, files are arranged alphabetically by
folder heading. Restricted personnel files were found throughout the collection and
have been pulled and filed with the Archives faculty records. Prominent subjects
include participation in various university committees, state and national
organizations, and the open visitation policy in the dormitories, which created
quite a stir among IU alumni and parents.
Records pertaining to faculty personnel matters have been pulled and transferred to
the appropriate personnel files. Newspapers and newspaper clippings have been
photocopied for preservation purposes and the clippings discarded.
