The newsletter includes the outline of "a plan adopted by the University of Alabama to further develop instructional, research and service programs of the present Huntsville operations as integral parts of the University." The first point of the plan notes, "Effective September 1, 1966, the Huntsville operations of the University of Alabama shall be designated the University of Alabama in Huntsville (UAH)." The plan is signed by Frank A. Rose, president of the University of Alabama.
The newsletter includes multiple articles describing the growth of the UAH, including cultural events, new faculty appointments, and faculty activities. Also included is a list of events happening on the main University of Alabama campus in November 1967.
The document offers an overview of research, graduate instruction, undergraduate instruction, and continuing education, as well as a description of the university's facilities and the surrounding area. The author notes that "planning of a first phase of a permanent library and of a science and engineering laboratory/classroom building" is underway.
This document is a text version of the statements Charley Scott made on May 16, 1964 on the education needs and challenges in Alabama. Scott notes that he is addressing "students, prospective students, parents, secondary school representatives, and members of the University of Alabama staff in Huntsville." He frequently quotes Dr. Frank A. Rose, President of the University of Alabama.
The program provides notes on the background of the pieces that would be performed at the event and their composers, the program's sequence of events, and the cast, ensemble, and production members. The event began with "The Musical Offering" by J. S. Bach followed by Benjamin Britten's music drama, "Curlew River."
This program provides background information on contributions that allowed for the creation of the Graduate Studies Building and the program of events. It includes a "host" nametag. The building was later renamed Madison Hall and was demolished in 2015.
The release states, "Almost half of the increase results from a 21,000-volume build-up of the Huntsville stock." It also includes details about other system libraries.
