Correspondence, 1953-1970, undated

 Sub-Series

Scope and Contents

Grace Agnew Story, the Executive Secretary of the Alumni Association from 1957 until 1970, retained all incoming memoranda received by her office and often annotated it. As a result, this subseries provides extensive documentation of Parsons School of Design’s administration during this period. Of note are memoranda highlighting growing security concerns throughout the 1960s, a file on controversial Interior Design faculty member James A. Howell, an announcement produced for the first Earth Day in 1970, and notices informing Parsons staff of the impending affiliation with the New School University.
