Subject files (1940-1984)

NOTE: Files dealing with individual student records are restricted. Access will be considered on a case by case basis by the University Archivist and cannot be guaranteed. The subject files are housed in one and half boxes and arranged chronologically. They contain information about specific events or topics for which Swank created special folders. The folder titles reflect the original titles given by the creator. Topics include disciplinary actions, administrative changes, and student health issues. The files generally include correspondence, memorandums, notes, newspaper clippings, and student records. A few folders have photographs. These activity files span 40 years, and cover subjects from his duties as Foreign Student Advisor, Dean of Men, and Dean of Student Affairs. Some items in this series predate Swank's employment at Carnegie Mellon and may have come from other staff or faculty members who worked as or for the Dean of Student Life in earlier days.
