The Stanford News Service is part of the Office of University Communications. The News
Service reports and disseminates much of the University's news, via the STANFORD REPORT
daily news email. Previously the department was known as the Stanford News and Publications
Service, and was a part of the Public Affairs Office. The News Service produced the weekly
CAMPUS REPORT (later STANFORD REPORT) and the monthly STANFORD OBSERVER. The News Service
was originally created to take over some functions previously performed by the General
Secretary's Office. In 1946 a news and information office was created when Frederic O.
Glover was appointed Director of Information; when Glover became secretary to the president,
Peter C. Allen was named director of Information and Publications. In 1962, The office was
expanded and became part of the newly created University Relations Office with Peter Allen
as director of Publications and Robert W. Beyers as director of the News Service. News and
Publications was again united when Allen was named Associate director of University
Relations (and later University editor), and Beyers became director of News and
Publications.
The materials are arranged by accession and format.
