The Office of Undergraduate Admissions coordinates admissions for Trinity College and the Pratt School of Engineering at Duke University. Records include applications to Trinity College prior to the founding of Duke University (1911-1925), the administrative files of Admissions Director Robert H. Ballantyne (1967-1974), one file from Admissions Director Richard Steele, and a printed version of the website from 2001.
The Registrar's position originated in 1899 with Dallas W. Newsom's appointment as Registrar and Recording Secretary to the Board of Trustees to focus on financial matters. In 1953, the office of the University Registrar's responsibilities expanded to include admissions, registration, and student records. The collection includes grade books from Normal and Trinity Colleges; subject files with information on financial aid, the Consortium on Financing Higher Education, and the Undergraduate Faculty Council of Arts and Sciences; statistical information kept on student admissions, enrollment, and grade performance; the official schedules of courses for semesters and summer school, mailings to students, and microfilmed copies of student transcripts.
