Scope and Contents

From the Series: This series contains information regarding the Warren Branch Campus of Edinboro State College. The Warren Campus has an in-depth history that was written by John Mallery in September 1967. This paper discusses the evolution of Warren into a branch campus. To give some perspective of the campus during this time, there are selected registration statistics from 1968-78. These statistics were broken down into various different categories such as gender, race, full time/part time, number of years of school, transfer students, interest in study, etc. There are proposed detailed course and curriculum descriptions for an associates degree (A.D) in business administration, secretarial science, and law enforcement (criminal justice). These documents are dated in 1974 and the business administration and secretarial science have other undated documents. There is a letter from the Sheriff of Warren County (1974) to the Warren Campus regarding the proposed law enforcement program. He was interested in creating a law enforcement reference library through the campus. Also, he expressed concern about changing the name of the program to criminology or criminal justice. Additionally, there are scheduling books for undergraduate courses from 1976-1978, books from 1975-77 for graduate students, and summer classes in 1976. The campus put in advertisement in the Warren Newspaper Observer in 1977 and there is a poster promoting classes that were being offered at the time. Additionally, there are four brochures about the Warren Campus and what it has to offer to the student. Finally, there is a student handbook from 1969-70 on the library's rules and regulations. The majority of the documents found in the series are the student published newspaper. It was called The Voice of the Colony. The newspaper contains articles, editorials, want ads, poetry, etc. The issues of the Voice range from 1969-1974. Also, there is a newsletter called The Highland Piper and it was published by the Warren Campus Clan (WCC). The WCC were a group of alumni who organized different reunions and events. They were dedicated and determined to keep the Warren student population, past and present, in touch with each other. Finally, there are some newspaper clippings and photographs located in this series. There are eight newspaper articles. Among the eight articles, four were dated between 1975-76. Three of the dated articles were taken from the Warren Times Observer. The source is not identified in the other five articles. The articles mainly focus on registration and how adults are taking advantage of the courses. There are 25 photographs in this series. Eleven pictures are dated and fourteen are undated. There are eight miscellaneous pictures. The other seventeen pictures have identified the people and places in the photos. Some people include: Dr. McNerney and Thomas R. Miller, former presidents of ESC; Jane Conaway, board member of ESC; Board of Trustees; Frank Johnson, Director of the Campus; Dr. Barbara Baron, Dr. Roy Brant and Dr. Leo Roland, professors; and State Representative Allen in 1971.
