Letters to the Trustees, nos. 185-245, 1953 - 1955

The bulk of the records of the Phillips administration consists of his regular letters to Bates faculty, alumni, and Trustees, which he wrote during the entirety of his tenure. In these series of correspondence Phillips wrote of academic and financial activities, as well as many campus social activities. The records also contain other items of correspondence, including a few scattered letters and memoranda, most significantly correspondence received from honorary degree recipients. There are also three folders--mostly correspondence--on the purchase and reorganization of public television station WCBB in Augusta by Bates College.
