Historical Note

The Registrar's position originated in 1899 with Dallas W. Newsom's appointment as Registrar and Recording Secretary to the Board of Trustees. The original position seems to have been largely concerned with financial matters, with the Registrar in charge of the collection of all bills due the College. He shall rent rooms to students, keep the books of the College, and see that all the laws of the Board governing bills due the College should be duly enforced (1903 Bylaws). In fact, Newsom was often listed in the Trinity Catalogues as Registrar and Treasurer. He served in this capacity until 1920.

Apparently, the position was not filled from 1921 to 1953. Though included in the Bylaws of 1936, the office remained vacant. As the University expanded, individual schools had their own registrars or recorders. In 1953, Richard L. Tuthill was appointed University Registrar in an effort to centralize the records-keeping processes of the different schools. Unlike the earlier position, the new registrar coordinated admissions to the University as well. Broadly stated, the office of the University Registrar had three major responsibilities: 1) admissions, 2) registration, and 3) student records, and it concerned itself with the policies, procedures, and decisions relating to each. By 1958, the office of the University Registrar consisted of the Central Records Office and the office of Undergraduate Admissions. The University Registrar oversaw both offices.

Following Tuthill's resignation in 1969, Clark Cahow was appointed Registrar and held the position through 1986. Albert Eldridge (1987-1995) and Bruce Cunningham (1996-) have since served as Registrar.

Collection Overview

The collection includes grade books from Normal and Trinity Colleges from the years 1853-1926, subject files from the tenures of Tuthill and Cahow, statistical information kept on student admissions, enrollment, and grade performance at Duke University since 1925, the official schedules of courses for semesters and summer school from 1932 to the present, mailings to students from the University, departments, and campus organizations, and microfilmed copies of student transcripts from about 1932 to 1969. The subject files include information on financial aid, the Consortium on Financing Higher Education, university curricula, and the Undergraduate Faculty Council of Arts and Sciences.

The bulk of the material covers the early 1950s and through the early 1980s, encompassing the tenures of Richard Tuthill and Clark Cahow. The records consist chiefly of correspondence, memoranda, reports, and statistical information. The records reflect the Registrar's current responsibilities for student records and registration, along with former duties concerning student admissions. Two small collections have been incorporated into the record group: 1. Clark Cahow Papers, 1958-1974 (A77-29); 2. University Schedule Committee records, 1970-1982 (A76-188 and A82-92). The Cahow Papers primarily contained records of the office of Registrar. The Schedule Committee seems to have reported directly to the Registrar's office at one time and someone from the Registrar's office served on the Committee.

The records are arranged into the following series: I. Grade Books, 1853-1926 II. Subject files, 1946-1988 III. Statistics, 1925- IV. Official Schedule of Courses, 1932- V. Student mailings, 1987- VI. Student transcripts (microfilm), c.1939-1969

This series contains 42 books with admissions, course, and grade information on students at both Normal and Trinity Colleges. The books are bound, usually large, and at least one page is devoted to each student. The books are arranged chronologically and students are usually listed alphabetically within the books. The first book in the series, 1853-1859, covers grades from Normal College, while the remainder of the material refers to Trinity College. A gap from the years 1888-1898 exists through no evidence has been found as to where those books may be located. The grade book for people who entered Trinity College from 1908 to 1911 is also missing from our collection. This book was probably lost in the 1911 Washington Duke building fire.

The subject files have been divided into two subseries by individual Registrars (either Tuthill or Cahow). The records include reports, studies, correspondence, and memoranda. Additionally, there is a third subseries of unprocessed subject files.

Richard L. Tuthill, 1946-1969

R. L. Tuthill served as University Registrar from 1953 to 1969. The records in this subseries reflect his activities within that office and his participation in local, state, and national organizations. Among the more notable subjects include procedures and policies in student registration and information relating to foreign students at Duke. Others include the Allen Building Takeover, Advanced Placement, and the Conference on Admission and Guidance of African Students (Howard University, 1967). Since the undergraduate admissions responsibility lay with the Registrar's office during Tuthill's tenure, files on admissions are present as well. Tuthill resigned from the office after the Allen Building Takeover (1969) and retired from the University (Professor Emeritus of Geography) eleven years later.

Cahow, 1953-1988

Clark Cahow served as University Registrar from 1969 to 1987. The records in this subseries document the activities of the Registrar's office through correspondence, memoranda, reports, and studies. This subseries also includes records generated as a result of Cahow's service as Director of Undergraduate Admissions and Financial Aid from 1973 to 1978, a position he held concurrently with that of Registrar. The admissions and financial aid material found within this subseries was not necessarily created by the Office of the Registrar but is present due to Cahow's position as head of both offices. Other subjects of note include the University Schedule Committee, the Undergraduate Faculty Council on Arts and Sciences, and University Committees on Admissions and Financial Aid. Cahow is a Professor Emeritus in History.

Statistics, 1925-1999

This series consists of statistical information kept on student admissions, enrollment, and grade performance at Duke University since 1925. Categories of statistics found in the earlier years (1925-1963) include geographical distribution of students; religious/denominational distribution; fraternity and sorority averages; class enrollment figures and projections; grade distributions; enlisted men, civilians, and veterans statistics; Quality Point statistics; degrees awarded; and withdrawals. Records during these years are divided either by year or semester and make up the bulk of the series.

Beginning in 1967-1968, the Registrar's office began printing an Annual Statistical Report containing some of the above categories, including enrollment statistics, geographic distribution, and withdrawals. These reports were distributed publicly and do not fall under the 25 year administrative restriction. By 1980 the Annual Report included tables that break down the international student population by country at the undergraduate and graduate level.

A large amount of duplicated material was removed from the records. Also removed were many lists of students containing addresses, grade point averages, and ID numbers. Occasionally, these lists have been retained when cumulative statistics did not account for them (for example, lists of international students were kept).
