This series documents Austill's role in planning a number of new programs at the New School. Several files relate to undergraduate programs at the New School: New School College, the Freshman Year Program, and the Seminar College. New School College was the first fulltime day school at the New School, operating from around 1966 through 1970 as a two-year college for students who had completed two years of college coursework elsewhere, and awarding a BA in Humanities or Social Sciences. The Seminar College was established in 1975 or 1976, at first as an expanded program within the Senior College offering a path for college-age students to earn a BA degree. In 1985, the Seminar College was renamed Eugene Lang College. The Freshman Year Program opened in 1972, providing courses to students in their final year of high school (or recent graduates) who would then matriculate elsewhere. According to New School course catalogs the Freshman Year Program ran until at least 1980. Also documented here is the New School's relationship with Mills College, a teacher-training school for women that began leasing part of its 66 5th Avenue building to the New School after the Parsons merger in 1970, and folded soon thereafter. The series also documents early discussions about Mannes College of Music merging with the New School, as well as the finalizing of the merger in 1989.
