Williston Hall: Annual Reports, 1960/1961-1963/1964

The Student Housing Services collection is organized into two series, material pertaining to on campus Residence Halls and Off-Campus Housing material.  Documents in this collection date from 1915, when the first residence hall was opened, to 1982, with the addition of a 1994 Report on Student Housing. The RESIDENCE HALLS series contains housing information, regulations, and manuals.  The Residence Halls are ordered according to age, with the oldest hall, Williston, coming first.  Material from Grant Towers North and Grant Towers South was combined, with Grant North preceding Grant South in the folders.  The residence halls are supervised by Residence Advisors who are given charge of an entire building and its staff.  Resident Assistants (R.A.’s) are junior or senior level students who supervise the hall or wing on which they live.  A manual for students living in the residence halls is published annually.  Since 1967 this manual has been called Guide Post. A major portion of the OFF-CAMPUS HOUSING series relates to an organization called the Householders’ Association.  This was an organization of people who rented rooms to students.  Included here are the association’s constitution, minutes, and newsletters.  Lists of off-campus housing available to students are also included in this series, as well as information on several of the off-campus residence facilities, off-campus housing forms, and a guide to off-campus living. For more information on student housing, the researcher should consult the Campus Development collection (UA 48), the Presidents’ Papers (UA 4), Student Affairs (UA 39), the Provost Offices Administrative Records (UA 16) as well as information in the reference files on individual campus buildings.
