Biographical/Historical Abstract: The chemistry program created in 1955 planted the seed that would eventually lead to an entire Department of Physical Sciences at AUC. By 1961 the Physical Sciences Department developed further to include disciplines of physics and math, in addition to chemistry. A new science building, including new lab facilities opened in 1966. Department grew to adopt specialties in engineering and computer science, both of which have since become separate departments, and expansion of biological sciences took place throughout the 1980s and 1990s.
Scope and Content Abstract: Materials include correspondence, reports, memoranda, and/or other forms of documentation pertaining to the physics, mathematics, and science units, correspondence with AUC offices and departments, annual faculty reports, catalog information and course syllabi, grants department and unit meetings, and personnel files and policies.
