Series II contains correspondence, memoranda, and blank forms covering the years 1957 to 1973 and pertains to procedural guidelines for curriculum development and instruction. Series III consists of proposals for scientific research, renewal requests for approved research projects, and final reports dating from 1966 to 1974. Series IV consists of minutes from Physics Dept. staff and graduate student meetings. Series V primarily consists of flyers for seminar presentations and lectures by professors and researchers from OSU and other universities.
