This series contains twenty-seven folders that relate to the University’s Mission Self-Study. President Hoffman and Vice President Emmett Fields announced the Mission Self-Study at the General Faculty Meeting on January 11, 1974. The purpose of the study was to fulfill a requirement by the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools that each member institution conduct a self-study at least once each decade for re-accreditation purposes. The materials date from 1974 to 1976 and include extensive data used in the study and the results from the study itself. The original folder order was chronological and has been maintained except where folders were obviously misfiled.
