Historical Note: At the request of a group of alumni, President Drake created The President's Committee for a Stronger Minority Presence (PCSMP) in 1989. Its mission was "to explore avenues for assisting the College in building a stronger multi-cultural community beginning with a focus on the minority community." Their first meeting was in September 1989. They met with a group of faculty, students, and staff to draft recommendations for the President. The Multicultural Task Force was created in August 1991 to work toward the goal of making the college a more multicultural community. It included students, faculty, and staff. Cook's papers contain memos, surveys & results, and minutes from Task Force meetings and similar materials for the PCSMP plus its recommendations to the President. There are many duplicates of items in various folders that were not discarded during processing. Provenance: Transferred to Archives by Shane Cook, Alumni Secretary and staff member for both groups, March 1999 Related materials: Additional materials on the Multicultural Task Force (02.12 p15)

Autobiographical information which class members recorded on forms distributed by the Alumni Office and printed in booklet form for reunion classes. Arranged by class year (not by reunion year). Class of 1893- . Except for the 1913 reunion of the Class of 1893 (Souvenir: Reunion of '93 Grinnell) and the 1966 reunion of the Class of 1916 (Golden Anniversary Record of the Class of 1916), these booklets have been compiled since about the reunion of 1988. [These photographs were part of a display, probably for the 50th reunion of the class of 1928 in 1978. Because of their condition several of the posterboards were disassembled, labels copied on the verso of the photos, and shelved in folders with other papers in the Archives record group (RG-Alum/Ser.3.1:1928). Three posterboards are intact and filed in the oversize #1 file drawer (RG-Alumn/Ser.3.1.1928)]
