Abstract

This collection contains materials relating to the recruiting and enrollment of students to Butler University.

Arrangement

This collection is arranged in one series.

Immediate Source of Acquisition

Many of the objects are labeled with “Received from Marketing and Promotions/Publications” along with that date of donation. It seems that this department is responsible for why most of the material was donated to the University Archives despite all the material relating to admissions. The Office of Admissions is included in the creator(s) since this is the material that they sent out to prospective students.
