This series is dominated by records of Business and Finance Division departments, especially Business Auxiliaries, Housing Management, Personnel, Physical Plant, and Special Utilities. The latter department underwent significant growth and change during this time, including the construction of a 44KV electrical substation and TelCom division, and expansion of the telephone and electrical power capabilities of the university. This series also includes materials from the many university committees on which Huestis served or which reported to him, including the Building and Grounds, Environmental Concerns, Investment, Personnel Policy, and Residential Life committees. Also contains considerable financial information concerning budgetary matters, the Duke Endowment, and Duke University Athletic Association. This series may be the best source of information on the history of WDBS, and is also thorough in its representation of local trade unions and the Research Triangle Park. Two boxes are devoted to Medical Center records, which are dominated by financial information, correspondence to Medical Center administrators, and reports on the construction of Duke Hospital North. T. Rowe Price folders contain comprehensive monthly reports on university investments and other aspects of the university's financial status. Boxes 28-31 contain official handouts and agendas from meetings of the Board of Trustees and its subordinate body, the Executive Committee, whose meetings coincided with those of the larger Board. Materials range in date from 1966-1975.
