At various times during the presidency of Robert Gordon Sproul (1930-1958), the administration had occasion to reexamine topics related to the administration of the University, during which process documents were pulled from the regular (or routine) files and assembled into these folders. These were to provide historical and then ongoing documentation of policy issues of particular importance. While they do not necessarily include all material relevant to the particular topic at hand, presumably the selection represents what were considered to be the most important items documenting past action and current thinking on these topics.
