SERIES III	UNIVERSITY OF RHODE ISLAND	DATES
2.5' ( 5 Boxes)		1892, 1908, 1941-1974

This series contains records pertaining to people and organizations associated with URI. Most of these records are from Woodward's retirement, rather than his presidency. This series is divided into two subseries: Correspondence and Subject.

Correspondence dates from 1941-1974, most of it in the 1960's. Correspondence from his presidential years consists mainly of replies to letters of congratulations upon his appointment as president; letters concerning the furnishings, grounds and maintenance of the President's house; letters concerning his retirement; and invitations and replies to social events at the President's house. Also contained is a bound volume of his Administrative Letters (1942-1958).

Other correspondence consists of letters to and from various administrators, faculty and departments; "Friends of the Library"; the URI Foundation, of which he was a trustee.

Records in the Subject File date from 1892-1974, most of them in the 1960's. The records are comprised of notes, printed materials and reports. Included are records of official automobile mileage and gasoline purchases, (1943-1957), an Army Specialized Training Program scrapbook; a bound volume of the student newspaper The Beacon (1957-1958); faculty and staff directories; "Friends of the Library"; research notes for the gymnasium mural; the President's house; retirement; dedications of buildings; URI Christians Association and the URI Foundation.

Of interest are copies of letters and reports by Howard Edwards, former Rhode Island State College (now URI) President (1906-1930), and the score for a musical adaptation of the Morrill Act.

The records are arranged alphabetically by subject and chronologically within each folder.
