Administrative History
Tower Quadrangle was built in 1959, but was renamed Nellie S. Teter Quadrangle in 1961 after the first woman to serve on the
Indiana University Board of Trustees. Like many residence halls, Teter Quadrangle was built to house the increasing number
of students enrolling at IU after World War II. Teter Quad was the first dormitory built for coeducational student living.
The dorm consists of five buildings that include housing, dining services, lounges, offices, and areas for student studying
and socializing.
The Nellie Showers Teter Quadrangle Student Government consists of a board of governors, vice governors, and other student
elected officials. The Board of Governors is the legislative group of the student government with a governor representing
one floor of the residence facility. The Board of Governors and student government members are elected officials who represent
students throughout the residence facility, plan programming events, and represent the Teter Quad students in the Residence
Hall Association and President’s Council.
Arrangement
This collection consists of single series of records and is arranged chronologically.
