Scope and Contents note

From the Series:

Series 2, Subseries 1, Graduate Students, 1947-1981, contains the records of graduate students who received the degree to which they were admitted. For example, the records of a candidate for a Ph.D. who withdrew from the program and received a Master of Science degree would not be in this subseries; however, the records of a part-time master's candidate who received a Master of Science degree would be included in this subseries. Types of records include applications, undergraduate transcripts from other universities, oral exam results and information about fellowships. Some files also include recommendations to potential employers and correspondence between the student and his professors after he left Hopkins.

Series 2, Subseries 2, Withdrawn Graduate Students, 1956-1982, contains the records of students who either did not receive a graduate degree from Hopkins or who, upon withdrawing from the doctoral program, received a Master of Science degree. A typical file contains an application, information about fellowships received, and the results of completed oral exams. The first document in each file gives the reason for withdrawal. Some files also include recommendations to employers and other graduate programs.

Series 2, Subseries 3, Undergraduates, contains the records of undergraduate students who received either the Bachelor of Science or the Bachelor of Science in Engineering degree between the years 1961 and 1984. Students in the combined BES/MSE program are filed in Subseries 1 as graduate students. A typical undergraduate file contains an information sheet listing high school courses, hobbies and intended major. In addition, some files contain descriptions of independent projects, correspondence between students and advisors and recommendations. No transcripts remain in the records; therefore, if a student's file consisted only of transcripts, no file may exist for that student, even if he or she successfully completed the program.

Series 2, Subseries 4, Class Data, 1937-1963, contains individual data sheets, completed by graduating seniors and divided by class. These sheets include information about the students' degrees, hobbies, job preference and previous experience. They also include biographical information and, usually, a photograph. Two small folders at the end of this subseries contain data sheets for students who graduated with degrees in Business Economics or Mechanical Engineering between 1942 and 1946.
