Historical Note
In 1980-81, the university's History department set out to survey its alumni in an effort to improve the department's offerings to current and future students. A letter and accompanying questionnaire was sent out to all History BA graduates from 1970-1980. 146 individuals responded. The surveys were blind (no name identification was required on the survey form). The accompanying envelopes have been removed from the collection and the city and state of the return address noted at the top of the survey when available.
