American Studies Department,, 1969-1976

Dean Foster, Dean Brownlee, and Dean Cobb.

Contents reflect the everyday relations between the Dean of Douglass College and department heads. American Studies was a relatively new department. Requirements for growth had to be tempered with budget restraints. Dean Foster concerned with curriculum development at the macro level. All Dean's involved in executing budget cuts that translated into dropping faculty and staff lines. Special mention made of the department's publication, Salad Bowl.
