Political Science Department Committees, General: Correspondence, notes, 1945-1980

This series reflects Evans' activities at Wellesley, especially her involvement on Political Science Department and College committees. The materials consist chiefly of correspondence, agenda, minutes, drafts, reports, notes, student resumes and evaluations, newsletters, and other printed materials.

A folder of general correspondence is followed by Political Science Department files. These relate to Evans' participation in the Harry S. Truman Scholarship Program, The Wellesley Law Club, Pre Law advising and the Department newsletter, News and Notes (edited by Evans). A folder containing typescripts of reports to the president and two department histories concludes the Political Science segment. General printed material on curriculum planning, budget, statistics, and other activities of the Department were removed and placed with the Departments' records.

The next segment of materials consists of Professor Evans' evaluation of other faculty members' performance; requests from students for letters of recommendations (some include resumes), Evans' recommendations, and statistics on students admitted to law schools; and student evaluations of Evans' teaching.

At the end of the College Activities Section can be found Evans' College Committee files, including the Committee on Faculty Appointment, Committee to Review the Committee Structure of Academic Council, Education Department Search Committee, Librarian Search Committee, Search Committee for Dean of Students, and Urban Studies (EB WELL) Committee. The bulk of these materials concern the Committee to Review the Structure of Academic Council, which was instigated and chaired by Evans.

Material on Evans' service on the Committee on Faculty Awards (which she chaired from 1979-80) has been removed from this segment and added to the records of that committee. In addition, internship material has been removed and placed with the records on the functioning of various internship programs.
