Series Descriptions: This Record Sub-Group is divided into two series. Series One, consisting of general administrative records and is arranged alphabetically by topic within each school calendar year. Series One is sub-divided into ten separate sub-series based upon annual accumulations of records. Series Two contains administrative records of the Missouri Regional Medical Program (MRMP) and is chronologically arranged. The Dean's Office internal filing scheme substantially changed over the period during which these records were created and received and thus the file folder headings are not consistent throughout the body of records. The original order of this collection was not maintained, however, all efforts have been made to recreate the original order. Some of the records in this Sub-Group are restricted and cannot be made available to the public (see restrictions note at the end of this page).
