College of Business Administration. Office of the Dean.
     Administrative policy records, 1926-1965 (bulk 1931-1965)
     17.5  linear ft. (42 boxes)

     Subseries 48 contains the records of deans Walter Jeffries Matherly and Donald John Hart.   Only budget records, records related to the Southern Economics Association, and a few other items have survived for the first few years.  From 1931 on, the records are more extensive.  The files are arranged by year and then arranged by subject.
     A considerable portion of the series is taken up with the College's participation in professional organizations.  Documentation on the Southern Economic Association, the Southeastern Economic Council, the Florida State Chamber of Commerce, the Bureau of Economic and Business Research, and the Southern Economic Journal are noteworthy.  The records reflect interest in the business and social development of Florida and the South.
     Journalism was taught in the College for the first eight years and a small amount of records related to the subject are included here.  (See files related to Elmer Emig.)  Another file of special interest is the 1942 folder on the effects of the repeal of the poll tax.  Some of Dean Matherly's speeches and writings are in the files, but a more extensive selection of his works will be found in Manuscript Collection 23.
     The subseries covers the entire tenure of Dean Matherly, but records of the last four years of Dean Hart's administration are missing.
