A report Preface and Summary, "The Quality of Undergraduate Life at New York University," Caroline Hodges Persell, 12/77 and some Admissions discussion and data complete the contents of Box 76. Routine student affairs documentation occupies Box 77, further admissions materials including reports and statistics, and tuition, folder 1-5, as well as 6 folders of information on student clubs and associations. The last section of this series occupies folders 1-17 in Box 78, where concluding topics range from more clubs material through financial aid, placement, publications, registrar, religious activities, ROTC, the student center (LOEB), and student conduct. The ROTC file, folder 15, contains some of the history relating to NYU's withdrawal from ROTC during the Vietnam War, the University's subsequent placement on a Department of Defense "blacklist" denying financial assistance to students wishing to study at NYU or other affected institutions, and the subsequent lifting of the blacklist.
