UR 4.4, 2 cubic feet

The Department of Social Sciences became part of the College of Humanities and Social Sciences when the college was established in 1970.  Prior to 1970, the department had been a sponsor of the Humanities and Technology Program, an undergraduate honors program with a flexible, interdisciplinary curriculum.  Stanley Wasson joined the faculty as an associate professor of history in 1960, became the chair of the department of social sciences in 1968, and served as chairman until 1975.  The collection consists of correspondence between the department chairman and faculty; minutes of department meetings; financial records; files on scheduling and testing; and a set of records of the Humanities and Technology Program.

This collection is partially processed.  A preliminary inventory is available in the archives; contact the archivist at archives@drexel.edu for more information.  Because the collection may contain confidential information, portions are currently restricted pending review by the archivist.  See the university archives' policy on access to records for further information.
