Faculty Memoranda, N.D.

The Correspondence section of Habermann's office files collected incoming and outgoing mail 1973-1991. (Scattered correspondence dates back to 1967.) Collected also were E-mail printouts for January-September 1991, a surplus of which were filed under the Correspondence catch-all (rather than in topic-specific files, as was Habermann's preference) while Habermann was occupied at the National Science Foundation. Topics include CMU administrative matters, lecture and meeting trips, computer program design, academic funding issues, and recommendation letters for students and colleagues. After the custom of Habermann's office, a majority of folders throughout the collection contain topic-specific correspondence -- more correspondence, in total, than is arranged in this one and one-half box series, which is necessarily limited to reflect original ordering. Researchers are advised to examine folders in other series for correspondence related to the folder topic. Folders are arranged alphabetically, then by date.
